摘要： A drill guide for positioning on a surface of a bone includes a projection for penetrating the bone, an abutment for engaging the surface of the bone to ensure penetration of the bone by the projection to a predetermined depth, less than the length of the projection, and a pair of guide passages having central longitudinal axes, respectively, converging at a predetermined point in the bone when the projection penetrates the bone to the predetermined depth. A kit for fixating soft tissue to bone includes a drill guide, a drill bit, a suture and a suture passer. The drill bit is insertable in a pair of guide passages of the drill guide to cut first and second passages converging in the bone to define a continuous tunnel. The suture passer has a portion for being introduced in the tunnel to engage the suture externally of the bone such that the suture is drawn through the tunnel when the suture passer is withdrawn therefrom. A method of fixating soft tissue to bone includes the steps of penetrating a bone with a projection of a drill guide, engaging the bone with an abutment of the drill guide to ensure penetration of the bone by the projection to a predetermined depth, introducing a drill bit through a pair of guide passages of the drill guide and into the bone to form first and second passages converging in the bone to define a continuous tunnel, introducing a suture passer into the tunnel such that a suture engaging member of the suture passer protrudes externally of the bone, engaging a suture with the suture engaging member, withdrawing the suture passer from the tunnel to draw the suture through the tunnel and using the suture to fixate soft tissue to the bone.

摘要翻译： 用于定位在骨表面上的钻子引导件包括用于穿透骨的突起，用于接合骨表面的邻接部，以确保骨骼通过突出物穿透至预定深度，小于突出部的长度， 以及一对具有中心纵轴的导向通道，当所述突起穿过所述骨到所述预定深度时，所述导向通道分别会聚在所述骨中的预定点处。 用于将软组织固定到骨头的套件包括钻子引导器，钻头，缝合线和缝合线路器。 钻头可插入钻子引导器的一对引导通道中，以切割会聚在骨中的第一和第二通道，以限定连续的隧道。 缝合线路传送器具有一部分，用于引入隧道中以使骨头外部的缝合线接合，使得当缝线路径从其中取出时缝合线通过隧道。 将软组织固定到骨头上的方法包括以下步骤：用钻子引导件的突出物穿透骨骼，将骨骼与钻子引导器的邻接部接合，以确保骨骼通过突出部穿透到预定深度，引入钻子 穿过钻子引导器的一对引导通道并进入骨头，以形成会聚在骨头中的第一和第二通道，以限定连续的隧道，将缝合线通道引入隧道，使得缝合线路径的缝合线接合构件向外突出 的缝合线与缝合线接合构件接合，从隧道中取出缝合线路通道，以将缝线穿过隧道并使用缝线将软组织固定在骨上。
