Abstract

A surgical guide system for guiding a surgical tool, comprising a body which comprises a first contact surface profiled to locate with a first anatomical surface of a first bone; and a second contact surface profiled to locate with a second anatomical surface of a second bone; wherein the body is configured, for a specified functional position of the first bone relative to the second bone, to simultaneously: locate the first contact surface with the first anatomical surface; locate the second contact surface with the second anatomical surface; and receive, or guide, a first fastener to fasten to the first bone, wherein at least one of the body and/or the first fastener forms a first reference to guide a first surgical tool to the first bone.

Claims (22)

1. A surgical guide system comprising:

a body comprising:

a first contact surface profiled to locate with a first anatomical surface of a first bone, wherein the first bone forms at least part of an acetabulum, and wherein the first contact surface includes a first contouring surface that contacts the at least part of acetabulum; and

a second contact surface profiled to locate with a second anatomical surface of a second bone, wherein the second bone forms at least part of a neck of a femur, and wherein the second contact surface includes a second contouring surface that contacts the at least part of the neck of the femur;

a first fastener guide portion selectively located to receive a first fastener through the body and to guide the first fastener into the first bone; and

a second fastener guide portion selectively located to receive a second fastener through the body and to guide the second fastener into the second bone;

wherein the body is configured, for a specified functional position of the first bone relative to the second bone, to simultaneously:

locate the first contact surface with the first anatomical surface;

locate the second contact surface with the second anatomical surface;

receive, or guide, the first fastener to fasten the body to the first bone; and

receive, or guide, the second fastener to fasten the body to the second bone, such that the body maintains the specified functional position of the first bone relative to the second bone; and

wherein at least one of the body and/or the first fastener forms a first reference to guide a first surgical tool to the first bone.

2. The surgical guide system according claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the body and/or the second fastener forms a second reference to guide a second surgical tool.

3. The surgical guide system according claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a first body portion with the first contact surface and a second body portion with the second contact surface,

wherein in a first configuration of the body, the first body portion is attached to the second body portion to receive, or guide, the first fastener to the first bone, and

wherein in a second configuration of the body, the first body portion and the second body portion are selectively detached from one another.

4. The surgical guide system according to claim 3 , wherein the first body portion is configured to be fastened to the first bone with the first fastener, and wherein the first body portion further comprises a first interface to receive the first surgical tool.

5. The surgical guide system according to claim 3 , wherein the second body portion is configured to be fastened to the second bone with the second fastener, and wherein the second body portion further comprises a second interface to receive a second surgical tool.

6. The surgical guide system according to claim 1 , wherein the body is monolithic and has the first contact surface and the second contact surface in a specified, and fixed, geometric relationship with one another, and wherein the body further comprises one or more interfaces to receive the first surgical tool.

7. The surgical guide system according to claim 1 , further comprising the first fastener is configured to be fastened to the first bone, and the body is selectively separable from the first fastener and the first bone,

wherein the first fastener is the first reference for the first surgical tool.
