ABSTRACT:
A patella resection clamp for use in resecting a patella has a first elongated handle portion and a second elongated handle portion. Each of the portions having first and second ends. The two handle portions are pivotally connected at a pivot point intermediate the first and second ends for rotation about a pivot axis. The second end of each of the elongated handle portions include a jaw with the jaw of the first and second handle portions spaced from the second end of the elongated portions in a direction parallel to the pivot axis. The jaws are spaced to form an opening therebetween for receiving the proximal and distal edges of the patella. The jaw portions including a saw blade guide surface or slot open to at least one of the first or second ends of each of said jaw portions. The guide surface or slot is for receiving a saw blade extending under (posteriorly) the handle portions and in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis and perpendicular to the gripping direction of the jaws.
