Apparatus for reattaching a ligament or implanting a ligament replacement in bone comprising a first ligament attaching element for coupling to a first end of the ligament or ligament replacement, a second ligament attaching element for coupling to a second end of the ligament or ligament replacement, a first engaging element slidably disposed on the first ligament attaching element and having at least one longitudinally extending finger, a second engaging element slidably disposed on the second ligament attaching element and having at least one longitudinal extending finger. The finger of each engaging element is directed toward the other. The first attaching element and first engaging element are adapted to be inserted in a first bore in a first bone member. The second attaching element and second engaging element are adapted to be inserted in a second bore in a second bone member aligned with the first bore, with the ligament or ligament replacement disposed between the attaching elements and in general alignment with the bores. The first and second attaching elements each having cam surfaces thereon for engaging the at least one finger of the respective engaging element. The finger of each engaging element is adapted to be moved into engagement with the cam surface thereby to force the finger to move outwardly into engagement with the wall of the bore in the respective bone member, thereby securing the engaging element into the respective bone member with the ligament or ligament replacement attached between the first and second attaching elements. |
