An anchor assembly for autologous or artificial tendon grafts comprises an
insertion element and a stabilizing element. The insertion element has a
stem and a head containing an aperture large enough to receive a graft.
The stabilizing element is adapted to be embedded in bone, and comprises
a sleeve with a cavity arranged to receive and hold the insertion element
stem. In use, the stabilizing element is affixed in the bone, and the
stem of the insertion element is placed therein. A tendon graft may be
secured to the insertion element either before or after its placement in
the stabilizing element. Two such anchors may be linked with one or
multiple grafts, in either a two-ply or four-ply arrangement.
