ABSTRACT:
A method of fixation for use within animal and human bodies provides for the insertion of brushes, of cylindrical and conical designs, into openings wherein bristles of the brushes are deflected by walls of the openings such that the brushes are locked in place and resist forces applied thereto. An embodiment of the invention includes boring a hole into a cancellous bone structure and inserting a brush into the hole. The hole is of a smaller diameter than the brush and is locked in the hole by the bristles. Tissue, such as tendon, may then be attached to material affixed to an end of the brush. Another embodiment of the method includes insertion of a brush into a blood vessel such that the blood flow is either occluded or strained by the bristles of the brush.
