Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a targeting device suitable for use in removing a femoral implant from the surrounding tissue, wherein the device comprises: (A) an anterior guide member (1), (B) a posterior guide member (4), (C) an engagement member (7), (D) a first pair of parallel connector rails (509, 510), and (E) an adjustment system (13). When the anterior guide member and the posterior guide member are connected by the first pair of connector rails, via the engagement member, the angled channels of the anterior guide member and the posterior guide member converge in the direction of a distal end, with the convergence angle of the angled channels being in the range of from 2 to 6 degrees, such as from 2 to 5 degrees.
