Abstract
The invention relates to an implant for securing a flexible piece to bone. The implant comprises a first part and a second part, a distal end that is to be inserted first in a hole in the bone, and a proximal end that is at the opposite end of the implant in relation to the distal end. The first part comprises securing means for securing the implant to said hole. The second part comprises a groove that receives the flexible piece to be secured by means of the implant. The second part is arranged to be mobile in relation to the first part in the direction of the longitudinal centre line of the implant. The contact surfaces between the first and the second parts comprise wedging surfaces such that as the second part is shifted towards the proximal end of the implant, said securing means move away from said centre line.
