Abstract
An instrumentarium for implanting a cruciate ligament replacement in a knee joint comprises an applicator for inserting a peg into a bore in a bone into which bore the cruciate ligament is received. The peg is inserted into a clear space between said cruciate ligament replacement and a wall of the bore in the bone. The applicator comprises a hollow shaft open at its distal end, a push-rod disposed in said hollow shaft and an operating element connected to the push-rod for moving it between a first position with a distal end retracted into the hollow shaft allowing a peg to be inserted, and a second position for pushing the peg out of said distal open end.
