Abstract:
A multi-positionable cut guide including a bone attachment device, base, and guide member. Bone attachment device is adapted to be coupled to the bone and has a base receiving portion. Base includes a mounting portion slideably coupled to base receiving portion such that base is slideable relative to attachment device along at least one dimension. Guide housing is pivotally mounted to base and guide member is rotatably mounted to guide housing. Guide member defines an axis about which it is rotatable. Guide member defines an elongated guide slot extending along the axis and adapted to receive and guide a saw for resecting the end of the bone. Guide slot defines a cut guide plane, the position of which is adjustable relative to the bone via sliding of base along at least one dimension, pivoting of the guide housing relative to base, and rotation of guide member about the axis.
