The present invention has multiple aspects relating to a bone-tendon-bone
graft and components thereof. Embodiments of the present invention
comprise an intermediate bone block that is used to adjustably secure
soft tissue (e.g., tendon) in a patient. Preferred intermediate bone
blocks comprise at least one machined segment of cortical bone,
cancellous bone or both. Embodiments of intermediate bone blocks of the
present invention are used singly or in combination with one or more bone
blocks to form a bone block assembly for securing soft tissue. The
present invention further relates to an assembled bone-tendon-bone graft
suitable for implantation in humans comprising the intermediate bone
block and a length of soft tissue. In a preferred embodiment, a
bone-tendon-bone graft comprises a length of soft tissue (e.g., tendon)
extending from a first assembled bone block to a second bone block and
then doubles back to said first assembled bone block. Depending upon the
embodiment, the second bone block fixedly or slideably attaches to the
length of soft tissue and facilitates it doubling back to the first
assembled bone block.
