ABSTRACT:
Osteotomy appliance and method for correcting bone deformities. The appliance comprises a guide to be used by the surgeon to make a second cut in a bone in predetermined angular relationship to a first cut in the bone. In one type of osteotomy the method and appliance enable a precise wedge-shaped piece of bone to be excised, leaving perfectly mating surfaces on the bone segments to be reunited. The guide has associated therewith a follower adapted to be placed in the first saw cut. The guide is adjustable positioned in relation to the follower to guide the second saw cut in the desired position. The method involves creating a hole in the bone at approximately the apex of the bone piece to be removed and utilizing pin members disposed in the hole for positioning guides for the first and second saw cuts.
