ABSTRACT:
A bone-modification device includes a plurality of cutting guides, wherein at least one of the guides is used to resect or otherwise modify a bone to receive a prosthetic element of a particular size, and one or more additional guides to modify or resect the bone in conjunction with a prosthetic element of a different size. In one disclosed example, the guides are configured to resect a distal femur so as to receive a femoral prosthesis in conjunction with knee-replacement surgery, wherein a plurality of guide sets are provided for anterior, posterior, and associated chamfer cuts for a plurality of differently sized femoral prosthesis. In this instance, the guide preferably features one or more sets of spaced-apart saw-receiving slots, including a first slot to resect the bone to receive a femoral prosthesis of a first size, and a second slot to resect the bone to receive a femoral prosthesis of a second size, different from the first.
