Abstract
A new drilling device for the correct localization of drilling holes has been developed for the fixation of cruciate ligament prostheses. We describe how the device is employed under surgical operating conditions. Its accuracy in application is demonstrated in a cadaver knee. The device has also been used clinically with success. Two new anchors for the fixation of the ligaments are proposed.Mesh:
