Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005112805
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A surgical jig and method of use in image guided and non-guided surgery are described. The jig is for use in determining an axis of a body part. The jig includes a handle at a proximal end and a a mouth at a distal end. The mouth is engagable about the body part and defines a substantially flat plane. A guide has a channel with an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane and a support attaches the guide to the jig. The guide can be translatable relative to the mouth while maintaining the axis substantially perpendicular to the plane. The method determines an axis relative to a body part using the jig. The method comprises engaging the mouth about the body part and translating the guide relative to the mouth so as to align the axis of the channel with the axis of the body part.
