A graft retention device has an elongated body with a first and second endsand amidpoint therebetween. A pair of elongated slots formed through the bodydefines a tangtherebetween. A graft retention loop is disposed over the tang and is slidabletherealong. Atrailing line connects to the body adjacent the slots and extends therefromthrough the graftretention loop toward the first end. Tension applied to the trailing line thustends to urge thegraft retention loop away from the first end and toward the midpoint.
