Abstract
A system and method for securing an ACL graftmay include a line routed through a plate. The plate may include an elongated body with a plurality of passageways, and a dogbone feature on at least one end of the body. The line may be routed to create at least one one-way slide so no knots are required. The line may form an adjustable loop that receives the graft. The adjustable loop is adjustable through the one-way slide feature. The plate may be configured to pass through a bone tunnel. The plate may be toggled 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.
