abstract an anatomic femoral guide positions bone tunnels corresponding to the am and pl bundles in acl repair and reconstruction procedures. a template guide disposed in a surgical field next to a surgical member such as a femur or tibia defines a surgical footprint of the resulting bone tunnel. the template includes apertures corresponding to the size of the bone tunnel for the respective (pl) bundles, and allows positioning at the drilling site to identify the size and location of the bone tunnel, as well as the relative distance between tunnels for double bundle procedures. An offset angle in the template provides differing orientations of the template apertures for viewing the current bone tunnel placement. the template has a positionable aperture parallel to a tibial plateau formation on the tibia, and the template orients a second aperture angled by the offset angle for positioning the second tunnel. abstract translation patent abstract: "anatomical femoral drill guide". The invention relates to an anatomical femoral guide that positions the bone tunnels corresponding to the am and pl beams in acl repair and reconstruction procedures. a template guide disposed in a surgical field near a surgical limb such as a femur or tibia defines a surgical footprint of the resulting bone tunnel. the template includes openings that correspond to the size of the bone tunnels for the respective bundles (am or pl), and allows positioning at the drilling site to identify the size and location of the bone tunnel as well as the relative distance between the tunnels. for double beam procedures. A offset angle in the template provides different orientations from the template openings for visualizing actual bone tunnel placement. the template has a positionable opening parallel to a tibial plateau formation over the tibia, and the template directs a second opening inclined by the angle of travel for positioning the second tunnel.abstrat (en)an anatomic femoral guide positions bone
