Claim:
A material fixation system, comprising: an implant comprising a body having a distal end and a proximal end which is placeable in a tunnel disposed in a portion of bone, wherein the tunnel is defined by walls comprised of bone; a first member comprising an arm pivotally attached to said implant body which is deployable outwardly to engage adjacent bone for anchoring said implant in place in the tunnel; a second member which is deployable outwardly to engage tissue material to be fixed within said tunnel, and to move the tissue material outwardly into contact with the tunnel walls; a third member, comprising a wedge, which is movable generally axially to deploy the arm of said first member outwardly; and a deployment screw having a threaded portion which is engageable with a complementary threaded portion on said wedge, wherein rotation of said deployment screw causes relative movement of said deployment screw and said wedge in order to deploy said first member, and said deployment screw further having a portion proximal to said complementary threaded portion which functions to deploy said second member outwardly.
