1. An instrument for placing a member transosseously through first and second transverse, intersecting bone tunnels, the instrument comprising:

  • a guide body defining a first guide axis and a second guide axis, the first guide axis and the second guide axis intersecting at a location spaced from the guide body;

    a first tunnel member engaged with the guide body coaxial with the first guide axis,the first tunnel member having a proximal end a distal end, the first tunnel member being substantially linear such that the first guide axis extends through the proximal end and a distal most portion of the distal end of the first tunnel member, the first tunnel member having a first longitudinal passage at least partway through the first tunnel member;

    a second tunnel member engaged with the guide body coaxial with the second guide axis, the second tunnel member having a proximal end and a distal end nonparallel to the distal end of the first tunnel member, the second tunnel member having a second longitudinal passage at least partway through the second tunnel member; and

    a passer;

    wherein the first tunnel member, the second tunnel member, and the passer, collectively, are configured such that the passer can be inserted, in one motion, from the proximal end of the second tunnel member, through the distal end of the second tunnel member, through the distal end of the first tunnel member, and to the proximal end of the first tunnel member.
