Claim Text:
1. Instrumentation for resection of the proximal tibia, comprising: a mounting base adapted for coupling to the proximal tibia; a medial articulating arm pivotally coupled to the mounting base; a lateral articulating arm pivotally coupled to the mounting base and spaced laterally from the medial articulating arm; a medial cutting guide surface positioned adjacent the medial articulating arm to define a medial cutting guide channel therebetween, the medial cutting guide channel extending along a first cutting plane and dimensioned to guide a cutting device generally along the first cutting plane to facilitate formation of a first resection cut in the proximal tibia; and a lateral cutting guide surface positioned adjacent the lateral articulating arm to define a lateral cutting guide channel therebetween, the lateral cutting guide channel extending along a second cutting plane and dimensioned to guide the cutting device generally along the second cutting plane to facilitate formation of a second resection cut in the proximal tibia; and wherein the medial cutting guide surface is defined by a medial guide flange extending from the mounting base in a superior-inferior direction, and wherein the lateral cutting guide surface is defined by a lateral guide flange extending from the mounting base in a superior-inferior direction.
