Apparatus for the fixing of the position of bone cuts
First Claim
1. An apparatus for the fixing of the position of bone cuts for the insertion of knee implants, comprising at least one cutting jig (11) which can be coupled to a base element (15) fixed to the bone in the region of a condyle and can be fixed to the base element (15), wherein the cutting jig (11) defines, in the fixed state and in each case by means of a slot (17, 19) for a cutting tool (21, 23), a first cutting plane (25) with respect to the base element (15) and a second cutting plane (27) with respect to the first cutting plane (25), and wherein the orientation of the second cutting plane (27) is adjustable relative to the first cutting plane (25) when the cutting jig (11) is coupled to the base element (15) and while taking the respective knee anatomy into account.
