Abstract:
1. An assembly for use with a femoral body implant having a longitudinal axis and a lateral bore at an angle to the longitudinal axis at a proximal end of the femoral body implant, the lateral bore capable of receiving a lateral fastener to secure an implantable support plate to a lateral surface of the femur, the assembly comprising: an outrigger having an arm portion with a first end adapted to be coupled to the femoral body implant, and a second end having a leg portion extending at an angle from the arm portion so as to be substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis of the femoral body implant; an alignment tube extending from the leg portion such that the alignment tube is adapted to be coaxial with the lateral bore and is adapted to facilitate inserting the lateral fastener into the lateral bore; a support adapted to maintain a position of the implantable support plate, the support including a pad member adapted to engage the implantable support plate and a shaft member having a first end slidably received in the leg portion and a second end opposite the first end pivotally coupled to the pad member; and a quick-release system for adjustably maintaining a position of the shaft member relative to the leg portion; wherein the quick release system comprises a clamp member coupled to the leg portion and the first end of the shaft member and moveable between a lock position and a release position.
