ABSTRACT:
A method for preparing a bone-tendon-bone core graft. A bone core is harvested from a patient and divided into two separate bone core halves. The bone core halves are inserted onto holding pins which are movably spaced along a work station. A harvested tendon is secured with suture onto the bone core halves, with the tendon extending therebetween to form the bone-tendon-bone core graft. The holding pins are supported by blocks which are moved apart along the work station to tension the bone-tendon-bone graft.
