Gage for limiting distal travel of drill pin

An instrument for setting a drill pin depth, comprising:

• an elongate shaft having a proximal end, a distal end, and a channel formed therein, the channel extending from the proximal end and toward the distal end and being configured to receive a drill pin of a ligament drill guide;
• and
• a depth indicator having a bore formed therethrough, the bore being configured to receive the elongate shaft, and the depth indicator being configured to selectively engage the elongate shaft to set a fixed location of the depth indicator with respect to the elongate shaft,
• wherein the fixed location at which the depth indicator is set establishes a terminal distal travel distance for the drill pin disposed in the channel such that the drill pin is unable to extend distally beyond the terminal distal travel distance,
• wherein the depth indicator is configured to establish the terminal distal travel distance when a distal tip of the drill pin contacts the depth indicator.

• wherein a portion of the depth indicator is configured to be received within the channel of the elongate shaft when the depth indicator engages the elongate shaft such that the drill pin disposed in the channel is unable to extend distally past the depth indicator.
