ABSTRACT:
A method of surgery for attaching the end of a ligament to a bone from which it has become attached, includes drilling a passage in the bone so that the passage opens at or adjacent the position where the ligament became detached, inserting an elongated clamp through the passage, clamping the ligament with the part of the clamp which projects out of the mouth of the passage, withdrawing the clamp into the passage to draw the detached end of the ligament into the passage while tensioning the ligament, and anchoring the clamp to hold the liagment under tension to permit growth of fibrous and connective tissue in the passage to join the ligament to the bone.
