Apparatus for use in supporting a graft ligament within a bone tunnel, the
apparatus comprising a graft ligament plug, the graft ligament plug
comprising a groove extending along one side of the plug, across the
front end of the plug, and then back down the opposing side of the plug,
with the groove being sized such that when a graft ligament is disposed
in the groove, the graft ligament will protrude out of the groove and
engage adjoining portions of the bone tunnel so as to facilitate
osseointegration therewith; wherein the graft ligament plug is formed in
two opposing halves, such that the graft ligament can be positioned
within the groove and thereafter clamped between the opposing two halves
of the graft ligament plug when the two opposing halves are brought
together so as to form the complete graft ligament plug.
