Abstract
An instrument for inserting a graft fixation device. The fixation device is useful for affixing a tissue graft to a bone or other body surface. The graft fixation device comprises two implantation members connected by a connecting member. The fixation device can be combined with insertion members. The implantation members have longitudinal passageways therethrough. The instrument has a hammer handle slidably mounted to a slide rod. The slide rod is mounted at an angle to a mounting member. A mounting rod having an angulated distal end is mounted to the mounting member. Prongs extend longitudinally out from the angulated distal end. The longitudinal axis of the slide rod is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the angulated distal end. The prongs are optionally removably mounted in an end housing mounted to the angulated distal end.
