Sawing gauge system
First Claim
1. A sawing gauge system to be used for intertrochantery accommodation osteotomies for removing a wedge-shaped section of bone, comprising(a) a first sawing gauge having an underside;
- said underside being curved like a hollow cylinder for a face-to-face engagement with the bone surface of a femur shaft;
(b) a first sawing opening provided in said first sawing gauge;
the first sawing opening being oriented perpendicularly to the axis of the femur shaft when said underside of said first sawing gauge is in face-to-face engagement with the bone surface of the femur shaft;
(c) a second sawing gauge having an underside;
said underside being curved like a hollow cylinder for a face-to-face engagement with the bone surface of the femur shaft;
(d) a second sawing opening provided in said second sawing gauge;
the second sawing opening being oriented to form an angle of 6°
with a perpendicular to the axis of the femur shaft when said second sawing gauge is in face-to-face contact with the bone surface of the femur shaft.

Abstract
A sawing gauge system to be used in case of intertrochantery accommodation osteotomies includes a first sawing gauge having an underside curved like a hollow cylinder for a face-to-face engagement with the bone surface of the femur shaft and a sawing opening oriented vertical to the axis of the femur shaft; and a second sawing gauge having an underside being curved like a hollow cylinder for a face-to-face engagement with the bone surface of the femur shaft and a sawing opening inclined towards the sawing opening in the first sawing gauge by an angle of 6° if the axes of the undersides of the first and second sawing gauges coincide.
