INSTRUMENTS AND METHODS USED WHEN REPAIRING A DEFECT ON A TISSUE SURFACE
摘要
<p>An instrument (10) for determining the proper orientation for repairing a defect site (12) on a tissue surface (14) generally comprises a shaft (20), a plurality of probes (40) operatively coupled to the shaft (20), and at least one indicator (50) operatively coupled to the plurality of probes (40). The probes (40) are configured to extend beyond a first end of the shaft (22) and are movable relative the shaft (20). The at least one indicator (50) is configured to display the displacements of the probes (40) relative to the first end (22) so that the displacements of the probes (40) may be compared. A method of using the instrument (10) when repairing a defect on a tissue surface (14) is also disclosed.</p>
