Abstract

Method and apparatus are described for a soft tissue fixation device for being biased between a soft tissue graft and an interference screw in a bone tunnel. The device has a contoured body portion having an inner surface and an outer surface. A plurality of spikes protrude from the outer surface of the body portion, the spikes extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body portion and parallel to each other. The distal ends of the spikes define a flat plane. A pin axially extends from the body portion for receiving a portion of the graft.
