Abstract
A fixation system is disclosed for an elongated prosthesis such as a prosthetic ligament. Opposed ends of the ligament are attached to spaced apart bones such that the connections are external of the bones so as to permit a maximum of relative movement between the ligament and the bones while assuring requisite strength in tension. The design enables pretensioning of the ligament, guards against abrasion of the ligament by reason of moving contact with the bones, and is adjustable to accommodate a variety of required sizes.
