摘要:
Described herein are specialized methods and systems that may be utilized to secure a soft tissue graft to a boney surface. The methods and systems of the present invention facilitate the efficient and minimally invasive formation of sockets and/or tunnels in boney surfaces that may then serve as a site for graft placement by aperture and/or suspensory fixation means. The present invention has particular applicability to the surgical repair and reconstruction of torn or ruptured ligaments of the leg, such as anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
