    Abstract: A soft tissue reconstruction system and method for fixating and anchoring a graft within a bone tunnel, which is especially adapted for reconstructing a defective anterior cruciate ligament. The reconstruction system is assembled ex-vivo by threading a graft through an opening disposed on a first shaft connected to a first bone anchor, and fixing a ring member around the graft and a second shaft for securing the graft to the second shaft that is connected to a second bone anchor. After the assembled reconstruction system is inserted into the bone tunnel, the first bone anchor is anchored to bone material adjacent one end of the bone tunnel, and the second bone anchor is anchored to bone material adjacent another end of the bone tunnel.
