The invention provides a drill guide device to accurately place a straight bone tunnel through the tibia and into the femur, the axis of which passes through the anatomic points of origin and insertion of the anterior cruciate ligament. A unique feature of the invention is that by virtue of the linkage mechanism for variable length adjustment, it can simultaneously select on two reference points within a joint thereby allowing for the sequential drilling of the bone tunnels in a straight line incorporating both of the reference points. The method of use for this drill guide device is intended to be positioned through an arthroscopic portal and does not require a femoral incision.
