Abstract
A surgical guide assembly for performing a knee osteotomy procedure, the assembly comprising: a body for securing to a patient's tibia bone; and a plurality of guide modules removably attachable to the body, each guide module being adapted to receive a corresponding surgical tool and to guide the corresponding surgical tool along a predetermined path during the knee osteotomy procedure.
Claims22
A surgical guide assembly for performing an orthopedic surgery procedure, the assembly comprising:
- a body for securing to a patient's bone and comprising a drilling module interface;
- and
- a plurality of guide modules removably attachable to the body and comprising drilling modules removably securable to the body via the drilling module interface, the drilling modules comprising:
- a first drilling module adapted to guide a drilling tool to form a first set of drill holes in a first parallel orientation in a common plane;
- and
- a second drilling module adapted to guide the drilling tool to form a second set of drill holes in a second parallel orientation different from the first parallel orientation, and in the same common plane to weaken the patient's bone in preparation for forming a cut therein.

A surgical guide assembly for performing an orthopedic surgery procedure, the assembly comprising:
- a body for securing to a patient's bone;
- and
- a plurality of guide modules removably attachable to the body, each guide module being adapted to receive a corresponding surgical tool and to guide the corresponding surgical tool along a predetermined path during the orthopedic surgery procedure, the plurality of guide modules comprising at least two drilling modules removably securable to the body, each one of the at least two drilling modules including a plurality of drill guides for cooperating with at least one drill bit to guide a position, depth, and angle thereof for forming drill holes in the patient's bone in a predetermined configuration to weaken the patient's bone in preparation for forming a cut therein, wherein the body has a drill module interface adapted to selectively receive one of the at least two drilling modules for connection thereof to the body, and wherein the at least two drilling modules include a first drilling module having a first group of drill guides adapted to guide the at least one drill bit to form drill holes in a first parallel orientation in a common plane and a second drilling module having a second group of drill guides adapted to guide the at least one drill bit to form drill holes in a second parallel orientation different from the first parallel orientation, and in the same common plane.
