ULNAR CUT GUIDE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM

摘要

This invention is an ulnar cut guide alignment system including an ulnar alignment guide (13) having a first end (19) for attachment relative to the proximal end of an ulna, a second end (20) for attachment relative to a distal end of the ulna, and a long axis (27) for placement parallel to the long axis of the ulna; an ulnar cut guide holder (15) including a body having an aperture extending therethrough along a longitudinal axis; an ulnar cut guide locator (14) for connecting the ulnar cut guide holder (15) to the ulnar alignment guide (13) with the longitudinal axis through the aperture of the body of the ulnar cut guide holder (15) placed substantially coextensive with the articular axis of the trochlear notch of the ulna when the first end of the ulnar alignment guide (13) is attached relative to the distal end of the ulna, and when the second end of the ulnar alignment guide (13) is attached to the proximal end of the ulna.
