Abstract:
1. A system for creating a bone resection on a proximal femur with a surgical cutting instrument for implanting a femoral hip prosthesis, comprising: a broach, the broach shaped to be inserted into a proximal femur to form a hole, the broach including a cutting guide connection feature defined on a surface of the broach; and a cutting guide configured to be connected to the broach, the cutting guide including an engagement portion and a guide portion, the engagement portion including an underside surface defining a broach connection feature sized and configured to receive and couple to the cutting guide connection feature of the broach, the guide portion having an elongated structure that extends from the engagement portion, the elongated structure exhibiting a first elongated slot extending laterally through the elongated structure and along a length of the elongated structure, the elongated structure having a first guide surface extending along the first elongated slot in the elongated structure such that the first guide surface defines a first resection plane acutely angled relative to the underside surface of the cutting guide; wherein the elongated structure longitudinally extends transverse relative to an axis defined by the broach connection feature; wherein the first elongated slot acts as a cutting guide slot configured to receive the surgical cutting instrument for creating the bone resection on the proximal femur.
