ABSTRACT:
A bone block drill guide and a method for preparing a bone plug and tendon graft in which the bone block drill guide is used in drilling a hole through the bone plug. A harvested bone plug and tendon graft is inserted into a trough in a bone block drill guide. A drill bit is inserted through a hole in a drill guide member to accurately drill a hole in the bone plug supported in the trough below. The bone block drill guide may have a plurality of troughs of different widths. A drill guide member has a hole therethrough for guiding a drill bit. The drill guide member is aligned with a trough so that the hole in the guide member is aligned with the hole in the bottom surface of the trough.
