Prosthesis resection guide

摘要

A conical burr template is indexed to the intramedullary canal of a tibia, such that a burr may trace the periphery of the template to define a correspondingly shaped cavity in the bone which is properly sized, shaped, and positioned to receive a cone-shaped tibial augment component. Advantageously, use of the burr template promotes expedient surgery while maintaining optimal fit characteristics and proper spatial placement of the tibial cone augment.
