an insertion arm having a folded contact end configured to abut the surgical device against a patient's bone;
a handle connected to a connection end of the insertion arm, opposite to said folded contact end, and extending transversely to said insertion arm; and
a retrieval element connected to said insertion arm and configured to be mobile along said insertion arm between a retracted position and an extracted position in which the retrieval element intercepts a leading end of a suture thread at said folded contact end, and mobile between said extracted position and said retracted position in which the retrieval element holds said leading end;
wherein said retrieval element is a basket made of flexible material defining a containment volume suitable for receiving said leading end of the suture thread, said containment volume being configured to expand in the transition between the retracted position and the extracted position and to shrink in the transition between the extracted position and the retracted position.
