Apparatus for securing a first object to a second object, including an elongated body having a lumen extending between distal and proximal ends, the lumen comprising distal and proximal sections, the distal section having a wider diameter than the proximal section a window extending through the side wall of the elongated body, in the vicinity of the intersection between the distal and proximal sections, and communicating with the lumen an elongated element comprising proximal and distal ends and extending through the lumen and a locking element mounted to the distal end of the elongated element and disposed in the distal section whereby, when the elongated body is disposed in a second object, and a first object extends through the window, proximal movement of the locking element causes the elongated body to capture the first object to the elongated body, whereby to secure the first object to the second object.
