Abstract
A method of soft tissue graft fixation to bone. A tunnel may be formed in a bone and a bio-compatible material may be placed in the tunnel in a liquid state using an insertion device. The soft tissue grafts may also be placed in the tunnel using the insertion device. The insertion device may serve as an internal mold to form a chamber for receiving a fastener. The liquid bio-compatible material may solidify around the insertion device, and the insertion device may be removed. Final fixation may be accomplished by inserting a fastener in the hardened bio-compatible material to apply a compressive force to compress the graft against the bone.
