Endobutton

Endobuttons are used to secure the upper end of a tendon graft, for example in anterior cruciate ligament (top images) or biceps tendon (bottom images) reconstruction. A strip of polyethylene tape (black) is looped around the tendon graft (red) on one end and looped around the center two holes of the Endobutton on the other.
