Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9629029A1] This invention relates to a surgical anchoring piece (1) for fitting a ligament or the like (8) at the proximal outlet of a tunnel (6, 7) bored in a bone (9). In a preferred embodiment, the anchoring piece (1) is made of an elongate body (2) provided with a milled section (3) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body which is designed for sliding and fastening of a pull wire (5) and a tape (4) for fastening the ligament or the like. The ligament, which is fastened to the anchoring piece (1) by the tape (4) is driven towards the end of the tunnel (6) by pulling on the wire (5); once out of the tunnel (7), the anchoring piece (1) pivots until it lies across the mouth of the tunnel (7) and locks the ligament in position in the tunnel (6).
