#$%^&*AU2018250499A120181115.pdf#####ABSTRACT A flexible drill bit comprising: a proximal shaft portion for connecting to a source of turning; a distal cutting tip portion for boring into a material; and an intermediate shaft portion extending between the proximal shaft portion and the distal cutting tip portion, the intermediate shaft portion being characterized by (i) sufficient longitudinal flexibility so as to permit the flexible drill bit to be passed along a curve, and (ii) sufficient torsional strength to permit the flexible drill bit to bore into the material. Apparatus for drilling a hole in material, the apparatus comprising: an angled drill guide comprising a curved distal section, a lesscurved proximal section, and a lumen extending there between, wherein the less-curved proximal section comprises a flat extending there along for reducing the effective diameter of the less-curved proximal section so as to minimize interference between the angled drill guide and the side wall of an access cannula.WO 2014/107729 PCT/US2014/010511 38/48 410 405 FEMORAL HEAD TABULUM-- -P 420 415 FIG. 57
