ABSTRACT:
A drill guide is provided for aligning and installing a transverse pin through a tunnel formed by a tunnel drill in a bone to secure a ligament replacement to the bone. The drill guide includes an arm member and a drill guide sleeve coupled to the arm member. The drill guide sleeve is formed to include a central bore for guiding a drill to form a transverse guide hole in the bone to guide insertion of the transverse pin into the bone. The central bore of the drill guide sleeve has an axis which is aligned to intersect the tunnel. The arm member of the drill guide is coupled to the tunnel drill while the tunnel drill is still in the bone to align the arm member and drill guide sleeve at a desired anatomical location using the tunnel drill in the bone as a reference.
