ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for arthroscopic tenodesis using sockets in bone created by retrograde cutting. A dual-sided rotary drill cutter is used to form a tibial and femoral socket by retrograde and antegrade cutting, respectively. The method is used to form a pair of sockets in the joint, which accept the respective ends of a replacement graft. The dual-sided cutter is configured such that it cuts in both directions (retrograde and antegrade) and does not need to be flipped over between forming the respective sockets.
