A guide for milling the femur of a patient to receive a femoral hip prosthesis includes a guide body (11) having a lower end base portion (12) adapted to extend into intermedullary canal of the femur and an upper end portion comprised of at least one or preferably two spaced apart struts (13,14) whereby the overall configuration of the guide body can be substantially the same as the prosthesis body sought to be implanted in the patient. In the lower end of the guide body base there is provided one or more hemispherical receptacles (15,16) for holding the hemispherical end portion (21) of a spinning mill bit. A removable arcuate, transverse guide rail (30), is connected to a strut to guide the mill bit. <IMAGE> |
