The invention relates to a surgical kit intended for the treatment of carpal or tarsal instabilities by reparative ligament surgery. This kit comprises, firstly, a needle (6) of elongated shape equipped at one of its ends with an artificial ligament which is gripped at the end of the said needle in such a way as to run out from the end of the latter as a continuation thereof. The kit is completed by osseous anchoring screws (7, 8) which are designed to be fixed in a carpal or tarsal bone with, if appropriate, positioning of washers (9). The kit according to the invention permits implementation of a novel ligament surgery technique consisting in replacing the defective ligament by an artificial ligament which is capable of restoring to the bones their natural mobility and of allowing a certain degree of rehabilitation. <IMAGE>
