Abstract:
A template that includes a support structure pivotably mounted to a guide, wherein the guide includes a compass with angle markings, a first guide member extending from the vertex of the compass, a second guide member extending from the vertex of the compass. In another embodiment, a medical imaging system can include a medical imaging machine with a display screen, a support structure affixed to the medical imaging machine, and a guide pivotably mounted to the support structure. A method of aligning medical implants with anatomical structures includes positioning a template over the display screen, and comparing an angle of a medical tool or implant relative to the anatomical structure of the patient to a reference angle on the guide and installing the implant in the patient at the angle indicated by the guide.
