Abstract

A graft ligament anchor comprises a graft liga-ment engagement member (20) disposed in an open-ing (29) in a bone, the graft ligament engagement member (20) being arranged to receive a graft lig-ament (28) alongside the engagement member (20), and a locking member (32) for disposition in the opening, and at least in part engaging with the graft ligament engagement member (20). Movement of the locking member (32) in the opening causes the locking member (32) to urge the engagement mem-ber (20), and the graft ligament (28) therewith, to-ward a wall of the opening, to secure the graft liga-ment (28) to the wall of the opening. A method for attaching a graft ligament (28) to a bone comprises providing an opening in the bone, inserting the graft ligament (28) and a graft ligament engagement mem-ber (20) in the opening, with the graft ligament (28) disposed alongside a first portion of the engagement member (20), and inserting a locking member (32) in the bone alongside a second portion of the engage-ment member (20), the locking member (32) being separated from the graft ligament (28) by the graft ligament engagement member (20). The method fur-ther comprises moving the locking member (32) to cause the locking member (32) to engage the graft ligament engagement member (20) to urge the graft ligament engagement member (20), and the graft lig-ament (28) therewith, toward a wall of the opening to secure the graft ligament to the wall of the open-ing.
