In order to facilitate insertion and reduce movement of the tendon replacement part in the channel in an implant for fastening of a tendon replacement part to a channel receiving the tendon replacement part in the region of the tibia and/or femur close to the knee, with an abutment element abutting against the channel and with a connecting element, wherein the tendon replacement part and the abutment element may be coupled by means of the connecting element, it is proposed that the abutment element and the connecting element defining a longitudinal direction are configured and reconciled with one another such that the tendon replacement part is fixable in the channel by relative movement between the abutment element and the connecting element in longitudinal direction.
Implant for fastening of a tendon replacement part to a channel receiving the tendon replacement part in the region of the tibia and/or femur close to the knee, with an abutment element abutting against the channel and with a connecting element, wherein the tendon replacement part and the abutment element may be coupled by means of the connecting element, wherein the abutment element and the connecting element defining a longitudinal direction are configured and reconciled with to one another such that the tendon replacement part is tensingly fixable in the channel by relative movement between the abutment element and the connecting element in longitudinal direction.
