ABSTRACT:
An instrument for determining the location of a channel and for creating a channel through bone tissue for suturing ligament, tendon, or muscle tissue to the bone during arthroscopic surgery, the instrument comprising a pair of compound levers (12) and (14) with handles (18a) and (18b) at a first end (24a) and (24b), a pair of semicircular pincers (36a) and (36b) comprising jaws at a second end (30a) and (30b). The jaws and body of the instrument (10) are inserted through a cannula and adjacent to the bone to be channeled. The jaws are opened to the desired separation, locating the end points (37a) and (37b) on the bone to be channeled and closing the jaws to create the channel.
