Paragraph Number

63

Next, the surgeon tensions 612 the tissue graft by pulling the tissue graft (e.g., tissue 408) through the opening 112 in the first direction 116 (e.g., toward the proximal end 412 of the fixation device 400) such that one or more teeth 220 retain the tissue graft from moving in the second direction 118. Tension placed in the tissue graft by the surgeon and/or movement, such as flexion of a knee joint, may pull the tissue graft towards a distal end 410 of the fixation device 400. However, the one or more teeth 220 bite and engage with the tissue graft to prevent movement of the tissue graft in the second direction 118. Then, the method 600 ends.
