—In this paper we will present the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgical operation and the surgical device used for guiding the drill for osteal tunnels. The objective of this study is to create a surgical guide device used for guiding the drill which will have a better fixing on the bone. We will start with a short description of the anterior cruciate ligaments reconstruction surgery and we will present a common surgically drill guide used in creating the osteal tunnels. The 3D model of the drilling device was created in Catia V5R20 and the tibia model was obtained by scanning.
