ABSTRACT:
A system for profiling an anatomic patella includes a grinding tool having a handle portion and a grinding surface operatively connected thereto. The grinding surface is a concave dome shape for forming a dome shaped surface on an anatomic patella. A guide member is connectable to the patella. The guide member guides the grinding surface of the guide tool to a predetermined medial portion of the patella to shape the patella to match an articulating surface of a femoral prosthesis.
