ABSTRACT:
A patella resection guide. The guide includes a cradle having spaced cradle supports to support the quadriceps tendon and patella ligament and properly locate the patella. The resection guide also may have opposed, movable plates between which may be gripped lateral and medial surfaces of a patella. One of the plates may include a saw guide for guiding a bone saw in a resection procedure. The guide may employ manually operable threaded connections to facilitate drawing the plates together to grip between them a patella to be resected.
