Joint revision surgery system and method

A method of making a joint revision surgery system, comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing an assembled surgical osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide block assembly having a centrally located cavity and a plurality of forwardly located osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide slots, a stem trunnion securing member mountably located within said central cavity and secured to said osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide block, an L-shaped adjustable blade guide plate having an upper section and a lower section and including a retaining screw, wherein said guide plate is moveably located within said plurality of forwardly located osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide slots and secured to said assembled guide block assembly by said retaining screw, and a plurality of rearwardly located osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide slots for accepting osteotome blades and surgical chisels;
• and
• (b) providing a slide hammer assembly configured to be securely attachable to said surgical osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide block assembly;
• (c) providing an osteotome blade/surgical chisel locking handle assembly;
• and
• (d) providing a plurality of osteotome blades and surgical chisels, including osteotome blades having flexible and rigid blade shafts and surgical chisels having flexible and rigid blade shafts configured to be releasably locked into said osteotome blade/surgical chisel locking handle assembly;
• wherein said surgical osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide block assembly is affixed to an implanted femoral stem for extraction by attaching said stem trunnion securing member to the trunnion of said stem, and then said L-shaped adjustable guide plate is adjusted upwardly and downwardly using said retaining screw and said L-shaped adjustable guide plate is adjusted forwardly and backwardly by extending said lower section of said adjustable guide plate into one or more of the plurality of guide slots defined by the guide block assembly, then extending said flexible surgical osteotome blades/surgical chisels down through said forwardly located surgical osteotome blade/surgical chisel guide slots containing the L-shaped adjustable guide plate and extending said rigid surgical osteotome blades/surgical chisel down through said rearward slots to reach the femoral stem and thereby cut the femoral stem free from the femur bone during revision surgery.
