CA 2280166

A tissue graft is secured within a bone passage by providing a graft fixation member sized to pass through the bone passage, attaching a suture having a pair of free ends to the tissue graft and tying the suture to the fixation member so that the free ends pass through an opening in the fixation device from a first side to a second side and a length of the suture extends between the tissue graft and fixation member. The length of the suture between the tissue graft and the fixation member is adjusted by pulling at least one of the free ends, and the suture is secured to the fixation member to maintain the adjusted length.

L'invention concerne une greffe tissulaire, fixée à l'intérieur d'un passage osseux par apport d'un élément de fixation de greffe dont les dimensions ont été prévues pour le permettre de passer à travers le passage osseux; par fixation à la greffe tissulaire d'une suture dotée de deux extrémités libres; et par liaison de la suture à l'élément de fixation, de sorte que les extrémités libres passent à travers un orifice situé dans le dispositif de fixation, d'un premier à un deuxième côté de celui-ci, et qu'une longueur de la suture s'étend entre la greffe tissulaire et l'élément de fixation. On ajuste la longueur de la suture comprise entre la greffe tissulaire et l'élément de fixation en tirant au moins une des extrémités libres, puis la suture est fixée à l'élément de fixation afin de maintenir la longueur ajustée.
