BONE DRILL GUIDES AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention features bone drill guides, sleeves, and methods of use thereof in inserting hardware into bones, in particular to repair bone defects. The bone drill guides are designed to seat firmly against bone while allowing translational, rotational, and angular movement during an operation. The bone drill guides also allow for insertion of multiple devices, such as guide wires, into bone at defined and constrained relative position.

主权项

1. A bone drill guide comprising:
a) a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end; b) an arcuate element attached to the distal end of said shaft, wherein said arcuate element is sized for seating on bone; c) a guide base attached to the proximal end of said shaft, wherein said guide base comprises at least two peripheral guide bores, wherein each of said peripheral guide bores is positioned about said shaft; and d) an interior channel extending through said guide base, said shaft, and said arcuate element.
