<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bone resection guide or a tool and/or a method used for resecting an ulna in implantation of prosthesis. <P>SOLUTION: A bone resection guide, particularly for the ulna, utilizes anatomical reference points of the ulna to establish an optimal position for the prostheses. The bone resection guide provides a guiding instrument that allows a surgeon to remove only the bone that needs to be removed for precise placement of the final prostheses. A method for removing the bone from the ulna in the implantation of of the prosthesis using the bone resection guide matches an elbow axis distance measuring device with a particular size of an ulna fossa of the patient. Once matched, a sized resection template, directly related to the shape of the prosthesis, is used as a resection guide. Materials incorporated into the bone resection guide have known anthropometric qualities when providing resection surfaces. This enhances the probable position of the implant. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
