TIBIAL RESECTION INSTRUMENT

摘要

A method and apparatus for preparing a patient's proximal tibia is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an instrument body (22), a rod (21) to track the intramedullary canal, a cutting guide (20) for guiding a cutting blade during cutting of the patient's tibia, and means for setting the depth of a cut with respect to the tibia. This allows the surgeon to reference surgical cuts to prepare a tibia to receive a prosthesis.
