      • An assembly for securing a plurality of ligaments to a bone includes a first portion exhibited by such as a ring shaped clamp with a tab and slot or a split stem incorporating a plurality of spaced apart ring shaped clamps compressively gripping about the ligaments. A second portion includes at least one of a screw or a ring extending portion engaging a ligament end loop or an undercut recess seating portion extending from an end of a body also incorporating the first portion, and such that the second portion extends from an end of the ligaments and mounts to the bone.

  3. Artificial ligaments for joint applications and including resistive retaining and end deforming characteristics

    a. https://patents.google.com/patent/US8177840B2

    • A ligament incorporated into a prosthetic joint exhibiting a plasticized, elongated and deformable material. A fibrous material is internally disposed within the deformable material, the fibrous material terminating in first and second enlarged bead portions arranged in proximity to enlarged pocket defined ends associated with the deformable materials.

  4. Artificial ligaments for joint applications and including ligaments crosswise extending ligaments between first and second bones
    1. https://patents.google.com/patent/US8163016B2

      • A ligament incorporated into a prosthetic joint exhibiting a plasticized, elongated and deformable material. A fibrous material is internally disposed within the deformable material, the fibrous material terminating in first and second enlarged bead portions arranged in proximity to enlarged pocket defined ends associated with the deformable materials. First and second bones define a joint region there between, the deformable end pockets and bead portions being inserted through associated holes defined in joint proximate locations associated with the bones, so that actuation of a projection location of the fibrous material causes the bead portions to outwardly deflect the end pockets, resulting in the ligaments being anchored in place between the bones.

      • A ligament incorporated into a prosthetic joint exhibiting a plasticized, elongated and deformable material. A fibrous material is internally disposed within the deformable material, the fibrous material terminating in first and second enlarged bead portions arranged in proximity to enlarged pocket defined ends associated with the deformable materials

  6. Clamping assemblies for securing ligaments to a bone
    1. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20140330380A1

      • A clamp assembly for engaging a bunched end of ligaments to a bone mounting location, the assembly including pair of split body portions, each including an enlarged head adapted to being mounted within a location of the bone, the split body portions each further including an extending stem portion.

  7. Clamping assemblies for securing ligaments to a bone
    1. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20140330379A1

      • An assembly for securing a plurality of end looped ligaments to a bone by a combination clamp and bone screw. The clamp exhibits a tapered or non-linear three dimensional shape to accommodate the folded over ligament end-loop and can be constructed of a plastic or other suitable material, and includes a split location such as permitting the clamp to be forcibly manipulated in position around the looped end of the ligaments, following which they are snap-fit or tightened such that inner facing knurled patterns engage and inwardly compress the overlapping ligament bunches. The screw is pre-positioned during the initial folding of the ligament ends and is fixedly maintained about the inner looped end following installation of the clamp. The shaft portion of the screw can exhibit varying thread profiles, promoting the creation of gripping forces when installed within the user’s bone.
