ABSTRACT:
A method for securing a soft tissue replacement in a bone tunnel includes forming a first and second tunnel in the bone. The second tunnel intersects the first tunnel and defines a first and second access passage. A first flexible member is passed through the tunnel and includes a first end extending out of the first passage, an intermediate portion supporting the soft tissue replacement and a second end extending out of the second passage. The first end of the first flexible member is fastened to an insertion member. A crosspin is positioned between the first passage and the insertion member. The second end of the first flexible member is advanced until a distal portion of the crosspin advances into the first access passage. The insertion member is impacted thereby pushing the crosspin into an engaged position with the bone.
