Abstract

The invention provides a surgicval guide for use in ligament repair procedures, herein devices, systems, and methods are provided for ligament repair procedures, and can be used to establish a location and trajectory for forming a bone tunnel in bone. One exemplary embodiment of a surgical guide for using in a ligament repair procedure includes a guide arm and a carriage that can be selectively locked along the guide arm to define an angle of the bone tunnel. The guide arm also defines a location of a distal end of the bone tunnel. In some embodiments the carriage is configured to have a bullet side-loaded into it, and the bullet can be used to define a location of a proximal end of the bone tunnel. The present disclosure also provides for a gage that limits the distance a drill pin that drills the bone tunnel can travel. A variety of other, devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for tunneling or boring in bone, and more particularly, to ligament (e.g., anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)) modular guides, drills Depth gauges, and components used in conjunction with this guide and gauge. Background technique [0002] Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the ends of bones and joints, or support or hold organs in place in the body. Ligaments are usually composed of thicker strands of parallel or closely interlaced white dense fibrous tissue that is pliable and flexible but not significantly elongated. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ie, ACL and PCL) are two well-known ligaments that extend between the proximal end of the tibia and the distal end of the femur. The ACL and PCL work synergistically with other ligaments and soft tissues to achieve both static and dynamic stabilization of the knee. [0003] L...
