ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for performing a surgical repair may involve fixation of a repair material, such as a ligament or tendon in knee ligament repair procedure, to an internal cortical contact area in a bone. The cortical bone contact area may be located immediately adjacent an opening in the bone's surface through which the repair material extends. The repair material may be engaged with the contact area by way of a fixation device, such as a device that is attached to the repair material and functions as a stop member. An illustrative fixation device may include an annular portion with an aperture through with the repair material passes. The repair material may be attached to a securing portion that extends from the annular portion.
