<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The apparatus (1) has a handle (2), which comprises a drill sleeve (3) for configuring a target point on the tibia and an arm (4) extending beyond the distal end of the drill sleeve for determining another target point on the tibial plateau. A portion (13) of the arm is configured as elastically reshapable. The deformable portion of the arm is formed reversibly deformable. The shape memory alloy is an nickel titanium alloy, particularly nitinol. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Apparatus for targeting and forming drill channels in the tibia in the area of a knee joint during reconstruction of an anterior cruciate ligament. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The apparatus has a handle, which comprises a drill sleeve for configuring a target point on the tibia and an arm extending beyond the distal end of the drill sleeve for determining another target point on the tibial plateau, and thus ensures an apparatus that is adapted to the individual anatomic idiosyncrasies of the patient. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a drill channels targeting and forming apparatus. 1 : Drill channels targeting and forming apparatus 2 : Handle 3 : Drill sleeve 4 : Arm 13 : Portion.</p> |
