• and
• a collar connected to and extending laterally outward from the end portion of the body, the collar engageable with an outer surface of the sternum to limit movement of the body into the bone tunnel;
• and
• a cerclage integrally formed with the anchor, the cerclage including a first element configured to at least partially surround the first portion of the separated sternum, the cerclage including a second element configured to at least partially surround the second portion of the separated sternum, and the first portion insertable at least partially into the first bore to engage the first lock to secure the first element to the anchor, and the second portion insertable at least partially into the second bore to engage the second lock to secure the second element to the anchor and to secure the cerclage and the anchor the sternum and to secure the first portion of the separated sternum to the second portion of the separated sternum.
