Surgical guide for use in ligament repair procedures

A surgical guide for use in conjunction with drilling a bore in bone, comprising:

• a first arcuate arm having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, the intermediate portion having indicia formed thereon to indicate an intended angle at which a bore is to be drilled into bone;
• a second arm having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion extending therebetween, the first end of the second arm being directly connected to the second end of the first arm to form a unitary construction of the guide such that the second arm is substantially stationary with respect to the first arm, and an angle extending between the first and second arms is approximately 110 degrees or less;
• and
• a bullet configured to be removably associated with the first arcuate arm such that a location of the bullet with respect to the indicia reflects an intended angle at which a distal tip of the bullet is to form with the bone in which the bore is to be drilled, and in turn defining the intended angle of the bore to be drilled into the bone.

A method for drilling a bore in bone, comprising:

• positioning a second end of a second arm of a surgical guide adjacent to a desired location for a distal end of a bore to be drilled in bone;
• positioning a first end of a first arm of the surgical guide proximate to an opposed side of the bone, the side at which a proximal end of the bore to be drilled in bone is to be located, the first arm being disposed in a hand of a user such that no additional component of the surgical guide is disposed therebetween;
• adjusting the surgical guide to set an angle between a distal tip of a bullet that is to be associated with the surgical guide and the bone to be drilled without moving the first arm relative to the second arm, the angle being formed at the location at which the proximal end of the bore is to be drilled;
• disposing a drill pin in a through-bore of the bullet;
• and
• operating the drill pin to drill a hole from the location at which the distal tip of the bullet forms an angle with the bone to the location at which the second end of the second arm is located.
