Ital J Orthop Traumatol. 1990 Jun;16(2):215-9.

Abstract

The authors present a guide for the perforation of the transskeletal tibial and femoral tunnels during reconstruction of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, by both arthroscopy and arthrotomy. This guide is accurate, maneuverable, light and has the advantage of being able to be oriented at different planes.
