Patent ID: 8900301

Claim:
A device for surgically coupling a soft tissue graft into a tunnel of a bone comprising: a first member including a first graft-engaging surface extending from a first end to a second end of the first member, a first bone-engaging surface opposite to the first graft-engaging surface, and a bone-engaging bearing surface that radially extends from the first bone-engaging surface at the first end of the first member in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis; and a second member including a second graft-engaging surface extending from a first end to a second end of the second member, the second member is separate from the first member and configured to couple with the first member to secure the first and the second members together; wherein the first graft-engaging surface and the second graft-engaging surface define a graft-accepting through-passage with a longitudinal axis extending therethrough when the first member is secured to the second member; wherein the first and the second members are configured to be coupled together such that the bone-engaging bearing surface axially extends beyond the first end of each of the first member and the second member along the longitudinal axis, and such that the first end of the second member is axially offset from the bone-engaging bearing surface along the longitudinal axis; wherein the bone-engaging bearing surface is configured to not protrude from an outer surface of the bone when the device is seated in the tunnel; wherein the bone-engaging bearing surface is semi-circular and extends from only the first member.
