Abstract
A surgical instrument (5) for fixing, preferably in a minimally invasive arthroscopic manner, a cartilaginoid tissue to an underlying bone, in particular to an acetabular lip, accidentally detached from the bone edge of a femoral acetabulum is characterized in that said instrument comprises a proximal beating mass (2), which can be removably engaged with a proximal end (8) of a middle part (3) having the distal end (13) thereof designed for supporting a replaceable fixing device (21,22) which can be removably coupled to said distal end of said middle part, and a cannula part (5) designed for slidably receiving therein said middle part with said fixing device removably coupled thereto.
