A medical implement for attaching a suture to a bone, comprising: a handle having a proximal end for manual grasping and a distal end for engagement with a bone to which a suture is to be attached, said bone being pre-formed with at least one first bore, said handle extending longitudinally from said proximal end to said distal end; a hook carried at said distal end of the handle, spaced from an outer surface at said distal end of the handle, and configured for reception in said first bore of the bone; a movable member resiliently coupled with a spring to said handle and urged to extend longitudinally from said distal end of the handle to an extended position responsive to said resilient coupling, wherein said movable member is movable between said extended position and a retracted position, wherein in said retracted position said movable member is retracted away from said hook to facilitate reception of said hook into said first bore, and in said extended position said movable member is extended toward said hook to engage said bone for clamping said handle to said bone at a predetermined angle with respect to said first bore while said hook is in said first bore; and a manually manipulatable member coupled to said movable member for moving said movable member between said extended and retracted positions; said handle being formed with a passageway extending longitudinally therethrough from its proximal end to its distal end, said passageway being positioned with respect to said hook for receiving a drill, for drilling a second bore through said bone at said predetermined angle with respect to said first bore and for passing through the passageway one end of a suture to traverse, and to extend past, said first bore such that said one end of the suture is accessible through said first bore for being pulled out therefrom, while the opposite end of the suture is accessible through said second bore for pulling out therefrom in order to attach the suture to said bone. a handle having a proximal end for manual grasping and a distal end for engagement with a bone to which a suture is to be attached, said bone being pre-formed with at least one first bore, said handle extending longitudinally from said proximal end to said distal end; a hook carried at said distal end of the handle, spaced from an outer surface at said distal end of the handle, and configured for reception in said first bore of the bone; a movable member resiliently coupled with a spring to said handle and urged to extend longitudinally from said distal end of the handle to an extended position responsive to said resilient coupling, wherein said movable member is movable between said extended position and a retracted position, wherein in said retracted position said movable member is retracted away from said hook to facilitate reception of said hook into said first bore, and in said extended position said movable member is extended toward said hook to engage said bone for clamping said handle to said bone at a predetermined angle with respect to said first bore while said hook is in said first bore; and a manually manipulatable member coupled to said movable member for moving said movable member between said extended and retracted positions;
