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.
