Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9400058A1] An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) drill jig probe comprises a location portion (10) for securing in an ACL drill jig, a shank (11) extending from the location portion for passing one side of the patella tendon, and a horn (12) extending from a junction (13) with the shank (11) at an obtuse angle (OE) for location against the posterior part of the intercondylar notch as the anatomical reference point for an ACL drill jig with which the probe is to be used. The shank (11) has two lateral bends (16, 17) in opposite directions, both to facilitate passing of the shank round the lateral aspect of the medial femoral condyle and the patella tendon and to allow ready use of the probe with an existing coplanar ACL drill jig. A set of instruments comprises at least two interchangeable probes, one for a left knee and one for a right knee, with opposite handed bends (16, 17), and a coplanar ACL drill jig.
