An apparatus and method for affixing soft tissue to bone is provided. The apparatus comprises first and second arms including first and second jaws on distal ends. The second arm is mated to the first arm at a hinge located between the proximal ends of the first and second arms and distal ends of the first and second arms. To enter into an engaged position, the first and second arms pivot around the hinge such that the distal ends of the first and second arms close towards one another, and the proximal ends of the first and second arms move apart from one another. The engaged position causes the first jaw on the distal end of the first arm and the second jaw on the distal end of the second arm to compress and hold soft tissue.
