Surgical kit and method

A surgical kit for performing a controlled resection of the neck of a femur during a hip replacement procedure, the surgical kit comprising:

• a mounting portion comprising a substantially circular femoral head contact surface, wherein the mounting portion includes at least two guide holes extending therethrough in an anterior-posterior direction for inserting guide pins into the femoral head while the mounting portion is located on an anterior aspect of the femoral head, wherein the at least two guide holes comprises a central guide hole for alignment with the femoral head center when the mounting portion is located on the anterior aspect of the femoral head;
• and a lateral guide hole located on a first side of the central guide hole;
• and a medial guide hole located on a second side of the central guide hole opposite the first side;
• a body portion slidably coupled to the mounting portion, wherein the body portion includes an opening extending therethrough in a traversing direction to the anterior-posterior direction for mounting the body portion on an intramedullary pin located in an intramedullary canal of the femur, wherein the mounting portion is configured to slide along the body portion in a direction traversing the traversing direction of the opening and the anterior-posterior direction;
• and
• a resection guide including at least one resection plane indicator and at least two guide holes having the same layout as the at least two guide holes of the mounting portion, to allow the resection guide to be mounted on the anterior aspect of the femoral head with said guide pins inserted into the femoral head for positioning the at least one resection plane indicator of the resection guide with respect to the neck of the femur for guiding a blade of a cutting device during said resection of the neck.
