Abstract

A method and apparatus for reconstructing a ligament. In one preferred form of the invention, there is provided a graft ligament support block (100) which comprises a body (105), and a graft hole (110) and a transverse fixation pin hole (115) extending through the body (105), with both the graft hole (110) and the transverse fixation pin hole (115) preferably extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body (120). And in one preferred form of the invention, the invention also comprises an installation tool (200). In one preferred method of use, a graft ligament (35) is looped through the graft hole (110) in the graft ligament support block (100), and the graft ligament support block (100) is mounted to the installation tool (200). Then the installation tool is used to advance the graft ligament support block (100) into the bone tunnel (20), with the two free ends of the looped graft ligament extending back out the bone tunnel (20).
