Syndesmosis fixation assembly

A syndesmosis fixation assembly comprising:

• a suture retaining portion having a plurality of suture openings formed therein and a distal cavity;
• a suture extending through each of the plurality of suture openings;
• a suture securing portion connected to the suture retaining portion, wherein the suture securing portion is movable between a first position wherein the suture is moveable within the suture retaining portion and a second position wherein the suture is frictionally secured within the suture retaining portion;
• and
• a bone insertion portion having:
• a distal bone insertion end adapted for insertion into a bone;
• and
• a proximal bone insertion end inserted into the distal cavity for connection with the suture retaining portion.

A syndesmosis fixation assembly comprising:

• a suture retaining portion having a distal cavity;
• a suture securing portion adapted to move from a first position wherein a suture in the suture retaining portion is moveable with respect to the suture retaining portion and a second position wherein the suture is fixed with respect to the suture retaining portion;
• and
• a bone insertion portion having a distal portion adapted for insertion into a bone and a proximal portion inserted into the distal cavity for connection with the suture retaining portion.
