Abstract

A graft ligament anchor (10) includes a tubular body (12) having a bore (14) therethrough, proximal (16), and distal (18) ends. A flange (20) is attached to the tubular body at the proximal end thereof, and extends radially outwardly beyond the tubular body.
A deformable wall (22) is disposed in the tubular body bore, and defines, at least in part, a chamber (23) for retaining the graft ligament therein. An expansion device (24) is configured for insertion into the tubular body axially of the tubular body, and for impinging upon the deformable wall, hence the graft ligament received in the chamber, toward a wall of the bore, whereby to fix the graft ligament in the tubular body.
