Abstract
A method of securing a tissue graft includes providing a fixation member having a suture attached thereto, attaching the suture to the tissue graft, and adjusting the length of the suture between the fixation member and the tissue graft by pulling an end of the suture. A fixation device includes a member defining at least two openings and a suture passing through the at least two openings. The suture has a first end received within the suture through an open second end of the suture and exits the suture through a first opening in the suture between the first and second suture ends. A fixation device includes a suture having two closed loop portions that pass through openings in a member. A first suture end is received within the suture through a first opening in the suture, and a second suture end is received within the suture through a second opening in the suture.
