Arthroscopically aided anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a new drill wire guide

The authors have made a new drill wire guide of universal type used in arthroscopic operations and have named it the Rhomboid Guide because of its rhomboidal frame. This multipurpose guide has made it easy to prepare exact bone tunnels under arthroscopic control and is preferably applied to arthroscopically aided anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. For such reconstruction the authors make a bifurcate intraarticular substitute using the iliotibial band. The Rhomboid Guide has made it possible to perform this rather complicated procedure arthroscopically.
