Zusammenfassung:An anchor assembly (100), for securing a first portion and a second portion of a separated sternum, can include a lock (118), an anchor (102), and a cerclage (104). The anchor can include a body (112) locatable between the first portion and the second portion of the sternum, where the body can define an end portion. The anchor can include a collar (114) connected to the body and extending outward from the end portion of the body. The collar can engage an outer surface of the sternum to limit movement of the body beyond the outer surface of the sternum. The cerclage can be connected to and can extend from the anchor. The cerclage can be configured to at least partially surround the first portion and the second portion of the separated sternum.
