ABSTRACT:
A drill guide for determining the site for and drilling a tunnel in a tibia during an anterior cruciate ligament replacement procedure and method for using same are also disclosed. The drill guide utilizes a multiple-point anatomical reference system for determining the most favorable position for the tibial tunnel, based on isometry, freedom from impingement and desired ACL-PCL interaction.
