Patent ID: 7883513

Claim:
A drill guide comprising: a body having a bore therethrough and defining a socket, the socket having a proximal opening and a distal opening; a guide member having a shaft having a distal end and a proximal end and a longitudinal passage therethrough, the distal end having a semi-spherical outer surface portion through which the longitudinal passage extends, the semi-spherical outer surface portion having at least one longitudinal slot such that the semi-spherical portion transitions from a first diameter that is greater than the diameter of the proximal opening of the socket to a second diameter that is substantially equal to the diameter of the proximal opening of the socket when the semi-spherical portion is translated through the proximal opening of the socket, the semi-spherical outer surface portion being rotatable when the semi-spherical outer surface portion is mounted within the socket so that the guide member shaft is angulatable at a plurality of angles with respect to the axis of the bore; and a handle extending from the body.
