摘要:
A patient-specific alignment guide 200 includes a three-dimensional engagement surface 202 customized in a pre-operating planning stage by computer imaging to closely mate and conform to a corresponding bone portion 72 of a patient's elbow joint. The patient-specific alignment guide 200 defines a first longitudinal guiding bore 206 aligned with a reference axis (A) associated with the elbow joint of patient when the alignment guide 200 is mounted onto the corresponding bone portion 72. In another aspect a cutting component (502, Fig 7A) is described with elongate slots 504 and a guiding component 530.
