Claim:
1. A method of securing a tissue graft comprising: attaching a suture of a fixation member to a tissue graft, the suture of the fixation member comprising a knot and loop configuration tied thereto by passing the suture through at least two openings in the fixation member to form two suture loops through which ends of the suture pass; creating a first suture loop; folding the suture over on itself, creating a first interconnecting loop; passing the suture up through a first opening, creating a second suture loop; passing the suture through first interconnecting loop, and folding the suture over on itself, and passing the suture back down a second opening, creating another interconnecting loop interconnected with the first interconnecting loop, passed up through the first opening; and creating third suture loop, and passing the third suture loop through the another interconnecting loop; and adjusting the length of the suture between the fixation member and the tissue graft by pulling the suture.
