Method and apparatus for preparing a proximal femur

摘要

A system for preparing a proximal femur can include a broach that includes a broach body having an anterior side, a posterior side, a lateral side and a medial side. The medial side can have a roughened cutting surface. The lateral side can have a smooth, non-cutting surface. The system can further comprise a cutting scribe assembly and a cutting guide assembly.

主权项

1. A system for preparing a proximal femoral implant for a proximal femoral prosthesis, the system comprising:
a member configured to be placed in a proximal femur, the member having a femur cutting surface for preparing the proximal femur, the member having a plurality of notches formed into the member; and a shelf body configured to selectively engage at least one notch of the plurality of notches formed into the member to estimate a location of a calcar shelf during trialing and preparing the proximal femur; wherein the shelf body is configured to removably engage the member; wherein the shelf body is about a U-shape that comprises a first finger, a second finger, and a central connecting portion; wherein each of the first finger and the second finger both taper away from the central connecting portion; and wherein the central connecting portion is configured to extend beyond a femoral ledge of the femur when the shelf body is engaged with the at least one notch in the member.
