ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic ligament implant is sheathed at one end in the sock in order to facilitate pulling of the implant through a hole drilled in a bone. The sock is provided with a separable proximal portion which does not envelope the implant and which can be cut off after pulling of the implant through the hole in the bone. With removal of the proximal portion, the remaining textile structure of the sock becomes asunder so that the sock can be readily pulled off from the end of the implant.
