Zusammenfassung: | The invention is directed toward a bone-tendon-bone assembly extended between two shaped cancellous bone blocks and a method of inserting same in a joint. Each substantially cylindrically shaped cancellous bone block has a central through going bore, a flat exterior longitudinal surface and a channel longitudinally cut in the exterior of the bone block body opposite the flat longitudinal surface. A tendon replacement member is inserted through the central through going bore around the end of each block and looped back along the flat longitudinal side with each block being in a reversed orientation position as to the other block. A channel cut in the exterior surface of each block is adapted to receive an interference screw to keep the block anchored in a bone tunnel previously cut in the respective bones of a joint. |
