摘要 |
In a first embodiment, the present invention includes an instrument for use in preparing a femur for soft tissue repair or reconstruction, including a cannulated, curved guide tool having a cannulated body extending to a distal tip and a plane defined by a longitudinal axis of the cannulated body and distal tip; and a flange secured to the distal tip and extending from the distal tip in a direction transverse from the distal tip, the flange having a first curve along at least a portion of the flange and a degree of tilt, relative to the plane, along at least a portion of the flange. In an alternate embodiment, the present invention may also include a method of preparing a bone for reattachment of soft tissue thereto, including visualizing a reattachment site; selecting a guide tool from a plurality of cannulated curved guide tools, each of the plurality of guide tools having a distal tip that includes a flange; directing the distal tip of the selected guide tool towards the reattachment site; and placing the flange against the surrounding anatomy such that the distal tip is on the reattachment site. |
