ABSTRACT:
A device and method for fastening one or more graft strands to a bone. The device may include a first member having a first opening and a second member having a second opening. The first member may include a plurality of radial projections defining recesses, wherein each graft is separately received in a corresponding recess. The device may also include a fastener passing through the first and second openings. The fastener may have a first portion engaging the first member and a second portion received into the bone, such that tightening the fastener against the first member compresses the graft strands between opposing faces of the first and second members.
