Abstract:
A device for the positioning of a proximal extremity of a tibia against a cutting guide including:a support bracket;means for distally immobilizing a tibia, which immobilize the distal extremity of a tibia in a given position and are mounted on the support bracket, and can slide and be blocked in position, following at least one direction perpendicular to the support bracket;means for proximally immobilizing a tibia, which are mounted and can slide on the support bracket;a cutting guide mounted on the support bracket, whereina handle including a hammer and a gun trigger are mounted on the support bracket, the hammer of which acts on devices that enable the adjustment of the relative position of devices for proximal immobilization with regard to the support bracket with the possibility of blocking those in place and the trigger of which acts on devices that enable the adjustment of the angle (posterior slope) between the support bracket and the tibia in the sagittal plane.
