ORTHOPAEDIC BONE CUTTING JIG AND ALIGNMENT DEVICE

摘要

An orthopaedic bone cutting jig and alignment device which is designed to rigidly mount thereon a selected bone to be cut, is described. A frame is mounted on a base and arranged to receive and releasably secure the bones on each side of a joint, such as a knee. A cutting tool is arranged to slide on a bed mountable on the frame members associated with either of the bones of the joint, so that precise bone cuts can be made to any selected one of the bones, and the tool moved to the other frame members to make similar precise cuts to the other bone without disturbing the relatively locked position of the joint.
