摘要：
A technique for forming a dovetail shaped groove in bone necessary in allograft transplantation such as the meniscus or the Achilles tendon. The technique uses a single drill guide that is designed to create a dovetail shape in bone. The drill guide is provided with a first opening for receiving one drill sleeve placed in a fixed location, and a second opening having an oblong shape for receiving a second drill sleeve having an offset cannulation. The combination of the two drill sleeves allows the surgeon to place two guide pins and ream over each guide pin resulting in a dovetail shape in the bone.
