Abstract
A device for marking bone such as a patella is anchored to one surface of the bone, whereby the contact with the surface defines the desired resection plane, and then a cautery or other marking device is used to mark the bone relative to this plane. The marking device is removed and then the bone may be resected using techniques known in the art. A device for measuring the remaining bone allows a user to measure bone thickness and visually estimate superoinferior angle or mediolateral angle of the resected surface relative to the desired resection plane. The measuring device may optionally be used with a computer-assisted surgical system for numerical measurements.
