Abstract:
A sizing caliper for facilitating the selection of a femoral component of a knee prosthesis includes a caliper body, two drill guide bodies, a stylus tower configured to be slidably linked to each other wherein as the caliper body and the stylus tower are linearly displaced at an equal rate relative to the drill guide body portions and the drill guide holes remain located at the midpoint of an anterior/posterior dimension defined by the distance between the tip of the stylus and the base portion. The caliper body comprises a base portion configured to couple and decouple from the caliper body using a sliding mechanism.

Claim (Index 25):
The sizing caliper instrument of  claim 20 , wherein the caliper body is provided with a first cross linking slot that is oriented at an angle alpha relative to a longitudinal axis L; the stylus tower provided with at least one second cross linking slot that is oriented at an angle beta relative to the longitudinal axis L; each drill guide body portion provided with a third cross linking slot that is oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis L; the caliper body, the two drill guide bodies and the stylus tower are assembled to be slidably linked to each other by aligning the first cross linking slot, the at least one second cross linking slot and each third cross linking slot in an overlapping manner; the caliper further comprising a linkage pin laterally extending through the first cross linking slot, the at least one second cross linking slot, and each third cross linking slot and slidably linking the caliper body, the two drill guide bodies and the stylus to each other.
