New target device for ligament grafts in the knee joint.
New instruments for cruciate ligament grafts through a rectilinear drill hole are presented. They are applicable in order to simplify the procedure performed under X-ray view or arthroscopy in the open joint as well as in the close joint. The precise fixation of the grafts at the anatomical ligament end points is the essential advantage of this method.
