Handle 12 includes a central longitudinal bore which accommodates a portion of intramedullary rod 14. Rod 14 is secured relative to the handle by a pin or screw (not shown) or other suitable means. A small portion 16 of rod 14 extends outwardly of end 11 handle 12 and forms a means for attaching a known extracting instrument to the guide.
A larger portion 18 of rod 14 extends from end 9 of handle 12 and is configured to extend into an intramedullary canal of a bone during a joint replacement surgery.
A cam 20 is carried by rod 14 adjacent handle end 9 and is rotatable about the rod relative to handle 12. Cam includes a generally cylindrical body 22 having a first end 24 which is generally perpendicular to the periphery of body 22. End 24 is positioned adjacent end 9 of handle 12.
15 Cam 20 includes a second end 26 which is positioned at an angle as illustrated relative to the end 24 of body 22.
Cam 20 is therefore generally wedge shaped with the second end 26 forming the Gaming surface for cam 20. A plurality of indicia 23 are formed on body 22 and when aligned with 20 a notch 13 of handle 12 provides an indication to the surgeon of the relative angle between rod 18 and base plate 30. A pair of spring biased plungers 25 (see Fig. 3) are carried within blind bores formed in cam body 22 and engage small detents (not shown) within handle 12 on a mating surface of end 9 to provide a series of positive stop positions for the cam relative to the handle as the cam is rotated.
A base plate 30, shaped as illustrated, is connected to intramedullary rod 14 by a pin (not shown) and is pivotal about the pin relative to rod 14. A pair of protrusions or cam followers 34 extend from plate 30 toward cam 20 and contact the second surface 26 of the cam. Cam followers 34 are positioned on opposite sides of rod 14.
Plate 30 may include openings for accommodating other instruments such as spacer buttons or plates for offsetting the alignment guide from the bone. A tower 32 extends from base plate 30 and is co-planer with the plate. Tower 32 21~2,~~~
includes a longitudinal slot as shown. A coupling device 36 is shiftably carried by tower 32 and is positioned within the slot.
Coupling device 36 (illustrated best in Fig. 7) includes a generally ovoid latch 38 having a rod 39 coupled to one end thereof. A finger actuated knob 40 is connected to the opposite end of rod 39. Rod 39 extends through the slot in tower 32 and through base 41. Base 41 as illustrated includes a generally V-shaped recessed area 42 which accommodates latch 38 and defines its rotational limits. Rod 39 passes through base 41 off center such that the tip of latch 38 extends beyond the side periphery of base 41 when the latch is rotated into the position of Fig.
6. When latch 38 is rotated by rod 39 into the position shown in phantom lines in Fig. 6, the tip of the latch lays interior to the side periphery of the base. Coupling device 36 further includes a compression spring (not shown) extending between knob 40 and base 41 to frictionally hold the coupling device to the tower.
The cutting guide 50 includes a body having a slot therethrough for accommodating a surgical saw blade. Guide 50 further includes a hollow cylindrical protrusion 52 which includes an annular grove 54 formed therein. In use, guide 50 is connected to tower 32 by coupling device 36.

To unlock the guide 50, latch 38 is rotated by rod 39 so as to be positioned as shown in phantom lines in Fig. 6 out of annular groove 54. Guide 50 may be slid off of coupling device 36.
To angulate base 30 relative to rod 18, the surgeon rotates cam 20 relative to the rod. Cam followers 34 in contact with camming surface 26 of cam 20 cause base 30 to rotate about its pivot pin (not shown) to position the plate at an angle relative to the rod. The indicia 21~2~6~
Coupling device 36 (illustrated best in Fig. 7) includes a generally ovoid latch 38 having a rod 39 coupled to one end thereof. A finger actuated knob 40 is connected to the opposite end of rod 39. Rod 39 extends through the slot in tower 32 and through base 41. Base 41 as illustrated includes a generally V-shaped recessed area 42 which accommodates latch 38 and defines its rotational limits. Rod 39 passes through base 41 off center such that the tip of latch 38 extends beyond the side periphery of base 41 when the latch is rotated into the position of Fig.
6. When latch 38 is rotated by rod 39 into the position shown in phantom lines in Fig. 6, the tip of the latch lays interior to the side periphery of the base. Coupling device 36 further includes a compression spring (not shown) extending between knob 40 and base 41 to frictionally hold the coupling device to the tower.
The cutting guide 50 includes a body having a slot therethrough for accommodating a surgical saw blade. Guide 50 further includes a hollow cylindrical protrusion 52 which includes an annular grove 54 formed therein. In use, guide 50 is connected to tower 32 by coupling device 36.
Cylindrical protrusion 52 is placed over base 40 and latch 38 is rotated into the position illustrated in Fig. 6 wherein the tip of the latch extends beyond the side periphery of the base and into annular grove 54 of the protrusion. To unlock the guide 50, latch 38 is rotated by rod 39 so as to be positioned as shown in phantom lines in Fig. 6 out of annular groove 54. Guide 50 may be slid off of coupling device 36.
To angulate base 30 relative to rod 18, the surgeon rotates cam 20 relative to the rod. Cam followers 34 in contact with camming surface 26 of cam 20 cause base 30 to rotate about its pivot pin (not shown) to position the plate at an angle relative to the rod. The indicia 21~2~6~
provided on the cam indicates the relative angle to the surgeon. It should be understood that the cutting device 50, or any other device, connected to the plate will also be positioned at the same angle relative to the rod.
It should also be understood that although a cutting guide is illustrated, any number of instruments could be attached to the plate using the coupling mechanism so the device includes a cylinder with an internal groove as described above.
Finally, it should be understood that the invention is not to be limited to specific details above but may be altered within the scope of the amended claims.
