摘要:
Methods and devices are provided for implanting a cross-pin through a bonetunnel, suchas in an arthroscopic surgical procedure. In general, the methods and devicesallow a cross-pinhole to be formed in a medial side of a knee bone such that it intersects abone tunnel formed inthe knee bone. In one embodiment, a cross-pinning guide device is providedthat can beconfigured to angularly position the cross-pin hole relative to the bonetunnel to allow thecross-pin hole to intersect the bone tunnel without passing through anotherside, e.g., a lateralside, of the knee bone. The knee bone can be a femur or a tibia such that thecross-pin hole andthe bone tunnel can each be entirely formed in the femur or in the tibia.
