ABSTRACT:
A guide and cutting system is provided that is effective to accurately and efficiently resect a bone, such as the femur, to accept joint prosthesis components. In particular, the guide and cutting system of the invention is useful to resect the distal end of the femur to form an intercondylar notch therein that will accept a posterior stabilized femoral component in the prosthesis. The system includes a guide component that with a square bushing is attachable to bone or to a separate guide assembly. A cutting device that includes a rotatable cutting device disposed inside a non-rotatable housing is insertable within the guide bushing to effect bone resection.
