A drill guide apparatus (10) and method are provided for aligning and installing a transverse pin (138) through a tunnel (94) formed by a tunnel drill (12) in a bone (74, 76) to secure a ligament replacement (124) to the bone (74). The drill guide (10) includes an arm member (24) and a drill guide sleeve (36, 50) coupled to the arm member (24). The drill guide sleeve (36, 50) is formed to include a central bore (70) for guiding a drill (104) to form a transverse guide hole (108) in the bone (74) to guide insertion of the transverse pin (138) into the bone (74). The central bore (70) of the drill guide sleeve (36, 50) has an axis which is aligned to intersect the tunnel (94). The arm member (24) of the drill guide (10) is coupled to the tunnel drill (12) while the tunnel drill (12) is still in the bone (74, 76) to align the arm member (24) and drill guide sleeve (36, 50) at a desired anatomical location using the tunnel drill (12) in the bone (74, 76) as a reference. |
