Abstract
A system is disclosed for stabilizing a cannula or tube which provides access into the body during a laparoscopic or an arthroscopic procedure. One or more fastening tubes or cannula are attached adjacent to a central tube or working cannula. Elongate fastening members are passed through the fastening cannula and are attached to bone which stabilizes the working cannula. This stabilization allows the surgeon to operate through the working cannula without concern that the cannula apparatus will be displaced. Furthermore, one of the wires can be detached and the cannula system rotated about the remaining secured fastener with the first fastener being re-attached at a new location. This technique allows the surgeon to place implants at uniform distances from one another without the cannula apparatus losing contact with the bone.
