AN IMPROVED INTRAMEDULLARY ALIGNMENT GUIDE TOOL

摘要

A handling tool or a sighting tool (400) for coupling to a cutting guide (306) includes a substantially elongate first end shaped to be grasped by human hand. The handling tool includes at least two mating tines (408), disposed at a second end of the handling tool. The mating tines (408) are biased to move toward each other, and are forced apart from each other by a cam (414) portioned therebetween. The mating tines (408) each include a mating means (418) for mating the handling tool with the cutting guide (306).
