Abstract: A drill guide formed by a cannulated body with a distal opening and at least one drill guide arm extending from the outer wall forming the cannulated body at an acute angle is disclosed. The inner channel formed by the cannulated body may be concentric with the cannulated body. The drill guide arm may extend at an angle from the outer wall and may extend from the outer wall at a point generally opposite to a distalmost point on the distal surface. As such, the drill guide arm may be offset from the inner channel forming the cannulated body, thereby enabling the inner channel to be aligned and concentric with the cannulated body forming the inner channel.

Abstract: A hole forming device useful for creating holes with threads in bone is disclosed. The hole forming device may be formed from an inner shaft and outer sleeve extending distally from a handle. The inner shaft may include a pointed tip that may be used to initiate hole formation. Once the hole forming device has been partially inserted into a material, such as, but not limited, bone, the inner shaft may be removed without having to remove the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve remains in place in the material and may then be advanced to create threads within the hole. Screws and other appropriate devices may be secured in the threaded hole.

Abstract: An arthroscopic method of glenoid resurfacing with a meniscal allograft. The glenohumeral joint is debrided and holes are formed around the anterior and posterior perimeter of the glenoid rim. A meniscal allograft is prepared by removing it from its bone block and then bringing together its two horns to form a ring. Subsequent to the formation of the graft ring, a series of loops are installed along the edge of the graft. The loops correspond to the holes on the glenoid surface. Once the graft has been successfully placed on the glenoid, the loops are positioned in close proximity to the pre-drilled holes. Fixation devices such as anchors may be installed over the loops, to attach the perimeter of the graft to the glenoid through the pre-drilled holes.
