Abstract

This discloses an orthopedic surgical device or system (100) that may be used to reconstruct soft tissue, such as tendons and ligaments, within the knee or other parts of the body. More particularly, the device (100) may be used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament. Components of the device, including a graft tissue component (112) slidably afixed to the seat component (114) and anchored within the tibia with a locking screw (120) are required for the reconstruction procedure and are typically assembled as a unit outside the knee. The components are introduced into a preformed bone tunnel as that unit. Components of the system and the use of the system and its components are also described.
