An apparatus for securing a cerclage member about a bone comprises a crimp including a first lumen extending therethrough from a first lumen proximal opening to a first lumen distal opening and being configured to slidably receive a cer¬clage member therein, a proximal portion of the first lumen comprising a first recess configured to receive an enlarged proximal end of the cerclage member, the crimp further comprising a second lumen extending parallel to the first lumen from a second lu¬men proximal opening to a second lumen distal opening, a distal portion of the second lumen comprising a second recess config¬ured to slidably receive a sleeve provided over a distal end of a cerclage member. A first wall of the crimp adjacent the second lu¬men distal opening is angled with respect to a second wall of the crimp adjacent the first lumen distal opening to permit pivoting of the sleeve thereagainst.
