Abstract
A system and method for securing an ACL graft. The system may comprise a line routed through a plate, the plate may comprise an elongated body with a plurality of passageways, and a dogbone feature on one end. The line is routed such to create at least one one-way slide so no knots are required. The line may comprise an adjustable loop that receives the graft. The adjustable loop is adjustable through the one-way slide feature of the line routed around and through the plate. The plate may be configured to pass through a bone tunnel with the use of filaments routed through the passageways of the plate or around the dogbone feature of the plate. The filaments may be used to toggle the plate after passage through the bone tunnel to prevent withdrawal back through the bone tunnel because the plate contact area is larger the bone tunnel area.
