ABSTRACT:
A new osteotomy guide for guiding saw blades when making an osteotomy cut in a bone is disclosed. Osteotomy is the surgical dividing of bone. The guide includes a base, a pair of prongs and a handle. The base includes a bore for passage of a K-wire or other guide pin. The prongs define a slot for passage of a surgical saw blade. The bore and slot are deeper than prior art osteotomy guides and thus stabilize the guide and the blade relative to the guide pin so that the plane of the saw blade remains parallel to the guide pin. This ensures that in multiple-cut osteotomy procedures all the planes of opposing cuts will exactly coincide when the cut ends are reattached.
