摘要：
The disclosure provides apparatus and methods of use pertaining to a measurement template for use in allograft preparation and processing. Specifically, the template may be used to measure the trochlea angle of the trochlea groove of the distal human femur. The measurement template may be formed of a flat metal plate having first and second ends, each forming a different angle designed to fit against the trochlea groove and provide an indication of the angle of the groove in relation to the angles formed by the template. The trochlea angle of the allograft may then be documented, allowing for proper matching between allograft tissue and transplant recipient physiology. The measurement template may be adapted for a variety of configurations depending on desired and/or common allograft requirements. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
