ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retaining a bone site in a fixed position and guiding a high speed power tool for machining the bone, such as a patella, including a positioner frame for rigid attachment about the bone site. The frame includes a bone clamping mechanism capable of adjustment and orientation of the bone site relative to the frame. A hinged power tool mount attaches to the frame and is adapted to receive a power tool for machining the bone in a predetermined manner. A power tool is received by the mount. A template corresponding to the predetermined manner attaches to the positioner frame for guiding the power tool. The bone clamping mechanism includes a plurality of gripping assemblies adapted to grip the bone about multiple locations. A depth adjustment guide is provided in the frame, which is adapted to cooperate with the power tool for controlling the depth the cut. A method for using the apparatus is also disclosed.
