Then the blade can be driven to cut an opening in the bone.
摘要:
A surgical procedure for implanting a graft according to which a dilator is inserted in a recipient opening and the graft is inserted in the dilator to cause outward expansion of the dilator into engagement with the portion of a bone surrounding the opening. After the dilator is removed from the opening, the bone surrounding the opening collapses around the graft to secure the graft in the opening.

The present disclosure includes a surgical kit for preparing a damaged area of a human knee to receive at least one graft. The kit includes a moldable material positioned over the damaged area to form a template. Desirably, a tape is placed over the template and cut to correspond to a template area so that the tape is used to determine the number and/or a dimension of the openings and the number and/or dimension of a corresponding graft to be inserted into each opening. The graft is adhered to a surface of the tape.
