CA 2604379

Various methods and devices are provided for a graft fixation device for fixing a graft member within a bone tunnel. In one embodiment, a graft fixation device is provided having a radially expandable sheath adapted to be disposed within a bone tunnel, and a sheath expander adapted to be received within the radially expandable sheath to expand the sheath and thereby anchor a graft between the sheath and the bone tunnel. In an exemplary embodiment, the graft fixation device is particularly useful to affix a graft within a femoral tunnel.

L'invention porte sur plusieurs méthodes et dispositifs relatifs à un dispositif d'ancrage de greffon visant à ancrer un élément de greffon à l'intérieur d'un tunnel osseux. Dans l'un des modes de réalisation, le dispositif d'ancrage de greffon fourni présente une gaine à extension radiale destinée à être placée dans un tunnel osseux, et un dispositif pour l'extension de la gaine que l'on dispose à l'intérieur de la gaine à extension radiale dans le but de l'élargir, ce qui permet d'ancrer un greffon entre la gaine et le tunnel osseux. Dans un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple de l'invention, le dispositif d'ancrage de greffon est particulièrement utile pour fixer un greffon à l'intérieur d'un tunnel fémoral.
