A user may position the tendon trajectory guide 1320 in a desired location on a bone for formation of bone tunnel. The bone tunnel can cooperate with an anchor to anchor soft tissue within the bone tunnel. The user may deploy the inserter 1352 to serve as a guide for a cannulated drill bit to form the bone tunnel. Once the bone tunnel is formed having two open ends, the user can use the inserter 1352 to insert a tendon, a free end of a tendon, a graft, or the like through the bone tunnel. In one example, a user may pass an end of a tendon and/or graft through the opening 1362 and may secure the tendon and/or graft to the inserter 1352. Next, a user may thread the inserter 1352 through the bone tunnel. The user may then tension the tendon and/or graft to desired tension and anchor the tendon and/or graft to the tunnel.
