ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a rotating track cutting guide system that maintains precise alignment of a bone saw with bone tissue. The rotating track cutting guide generally includes a track subassembly and cutting guide subassemblies attachable to the bone that is to be cut. The track subassembly supports an oscillating surgical saw driver. The track subassembly is removably securable to cutting guide subassemblies which are attachable to the desired bone to facilitate a series of controlled cuts. The design of the track subassembly stabilizes the oscillating saw driver and enables it to both rotate in the plane of the saw blade and move linearly along the track.
