- the guide wire may be inserted into the tunnel in other manners. It is also within the scope of this disclosure for the guide wire to not be used. In this instance, the anchor, fixation member, and instrumentation may be non-cannulated. Furthermore, it is within the scope of this disclosure for a tension device to not be used during surgery. [0047] Additionally, it is within the scope of this disclosure for the anchors to have a varying number of prongs. Also, for the purposes of this disclosure the prongs are symmetric. However, the prongs may be asymmetric.
