Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A surgical device for accurately positioning and cutting a patellar groove in a resected distal femur (11) to receive a patellar track portion of a prosthesis, including a guide element (10) adapted to fit over the distal end of a resected femur (11), having a central opening (23) which exposes the central distal and anterior aspects of the femur, each side of the opening being provided with a track (20,21), extending the length of the patella track, and a cutting tool (30) having a cutting surface (32), preferably convex, adapted to fit into the central opening (23) for the purpose of cutting or abrading a groove into the femur as the tool is moved along the opening. The tool, which is preferably a rotary cutter provided with independently rotatable track-engaging surfaces on each side of the opening is adapted to engage and move along the track.
