ABSTRACT:
A knotting element for use in surgical procedures to effect a knot in a length of filamentous material includes a body for being attached to a segment of the filamentous material and having opposed legs, an engaging member carried by one of the legs and a recess formed in the other of the legs corresponding to the engaging member. The body is movable from an open position wherein the engaging member is disposed externally of the recess to receive a second segment of the filamentous material to a closed position wherein the engaging member is disposed within the recess to immovably fixate the second segment of filamentous material to the knotting element to effect a knot. A method of effecting a knot in a length of filamentous material includes the steps of providing a knotting element attached to a first segment of a length of filamentous material, placing a second segment of the filamentous material between legs of the knotting element with the knotting element in an open position, positioning the second segment of filamentous material in engagement with an engaging member carried by one of the legs and moving the knotting element to a closed position wherein the engaging member is disposed in the other of the legs to fixedly secure the second segment of the filamentous material to the knotting element to effect a knot.
