Device for attaching a ligament transplant

A device for fastening a ligament transplant on a bone adjacent to an articulation, comprising:

• a bearing member comprising a bearing part having a substantially rectangular shape and intended to bear against the outer cortex of a bone adjacent to the articulation, and an insertion part intended to be inserted into a tunnel formed in the bone adjacent to the articulation, the insertion part comprising a passage orifice, the axis of the passage orifice extending transversely to the extension direction of the bearing part, and
• a flexible connecting member configured to connect the ligament transplant to the bearing member, the connecting member comprising:
• a tubular portion configured to extend through the passage orifice, the tubular portion delimiting a passage conduit and can be deformed between a first state in which the tubular portion has a first inner diameter, and a second state in which the tubular portion has a second inner diameter smaller than the first inner diameter, and
• a first and a second traction portions connected to the tubular portion and disposed respectively on either side of the tubular portion, the first and second traction portions being capable of extending together at least partially in the passage conduit, the tubular portion being configured to be deformed towards the second state thereof when a traction is exerted on at least one of the first and second traction portions.
