Abstract:
A method and apparatus for surgically coupling a soft tissue replacement into a tunnel of a bone are disclosed. The method includes forming a loop of a soft tissue or soft tissue replacement. A pair of prosthetics are coupled to the loop of soft tissue to form an artificial bone-tendon-bone graft. The prosthetics and soft tissue are then placed within a tunnel formed in a bone. The relative position of the prosthetic is then fixed with respect to the tunnel.
