摘要

Anchoring tendons used in the reconstruction of a ligament, particularly the cruciate ligament of the knee, comprising a substantially cylindrical body (2) insertable into a hole formed in the femoral condyle or tibial and which is provided, on a end, a flange (3, 6) for abutment against the area of ​​the shell surrounding the inlet orifice in said body is inserted and, at the opposite end, an eyelet (4) to engage the tendons ( T1, T2) to reconstruct the ligament, which are guided through said opening, said flange by a head (3) that is rigidly coupled to said cylindrical body (2) being formed and by a ring (6) of abutment articulated to said head (3) so that a spherical coupling that allows said ring (6) rests flat against the area of ​​the shell surrounding the inlet port for receiving said body (2) is provided, said head (3) sustancialmen I hemispherical and engaging said ring (6) thereto, said ring having an inner surface (9) which is concave and complementary to the hemispherical surface of said head (3), characterized in that said ring (6) has a face (7 ) upper bulged and an inner face which is integral with the face of a lip (8) lower ring, which is rigidly coupled to said ring (6) so that said surface (9) internal concave, which is spherically complementary forms to the surface of said head (3).
