A system and method for conducting arthroscopic surgery. The system and related method may include: inserting a guide wire to a defect site； placing a lumen of a dowel over the guide wire to enable the dowel to travel toward the defect site； placing a guide pin over the guide wire to enable the guide pin to travel along the guide wire to be inserted into the lumen of the dowel； placing the cannula of a tamp over the guide pin to enable the tamp to travel along the guide pin toward the dowel； and impacting the tamp to apply a force to the tamp, wherein the tamp impacts the dowel to enable the dowel to advance with a predetermined fit-resistance into the defect site.
