Patent ID: 8685033

Claim:
A surgical drill guide device, comprising: a housing having a first sleeve disposed through a first aperture for maintaining slideable communication with a first insertion member, the first insertion member being elongated and having a first aimer tip and a first insertion knob for disposing the first insertion member slideably through the housing along a first insertion axis, the housing further having a second sleeve disposed through a second aperture for maintaining slideable communication with a second insertion member, the second insertion member being elongated and having a second aimer tip and a second insertion knob for disposing the second insertion member slideably through the housing along a second insertion axis; an aimer arm engaging a slot in the housing for arcuate movement thereto, the aimer arm having a proximate end engaging the slot and an opposed distal end; an aimer guide coupled to the distal end of the aimer arm, the aimer arm extending in an intersecting manner with at least the first insertion axis; and a template attached to the aimer guide, the template having a first template aperture corresponding to a first bone tunnel, and a second template aperture corresponding to a second bone tunnel, the first and second template apertures defining a drilling footprint, the drilling footprint located on the first and second insertion axes and corresponding to the first and second bone tunnels through which one or more surgical attachments are passed, wherein the template further includes a first planar section and a second planar section, the first template aperture being formed in the first planar section, and the second template aperture being formed in the second planar section, and wherein the first and second planar sections of the template are offset to define a positive insertion angle, the positive insertion angle defining locations of the first and second bone tunnels corresponding to the first and second template apertures, respectively.
