ABSTRACT:
To be able to secure the tendon replacement member without additionally weakening the tibia in the case of an implant for securing a tendon replacement member to a channel receiving the tendon replacement member in the region of the tibia close to the knee, it is proposed that the implant is in the form of a disc with passages for threads connected to the tendon replacement member and is dimensioned so that it completely covers the outlet opening of the channel from the tibia.
