Patent ID: 7686811

Claim:
A combination of a surgical cut guide and a fixation pin for attaching the cut guide to a bone at a surgical site, the combination comprising: a cut guide having a body defining a cut plane and able to guide a cutter in the cut plane to cut the bone, the body further defining first and second fixation holes; an elongated first pin having a shaft with a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal shaft axis therebetween, the first end of the shaft being engageable with the bone; a cam mounted to the second end of the shaft for rotation about the shaft axis, the cam having a cam surface defining at least two points spaced different radial distances from the shaft axis, the cam surface being engageable with the first fixation hole; and a second pin engageable with the second fixation hole and the bone, the first and second pins operable to secure the cut guide to the bone in a first position in which the cut plane forms a first angle with an anatomic axis of the bone, and a second position in which the cut plane forms a second angle different from the first angle to the anatomic axis of the bone, whereby rotation of the cam about the shaft axis of the first pin effects rotation of the cut guide about the second pin to effect movement of the cut guide between the first and second positions.
