Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A skeletal replacement system may be utilized to replace bones in a patient. The skeletal replacement system has least one skeletal replacement linkage, each skeletal replacement linkage having a first member, a second member, and a hinge. The first and second members are hingedly coupled by the hinge. Multiple skeletal replacement linkages may be coupled end to end through a shaft on the second member of a first linkage being inserted into a bore in the first member of a second linkage. Each linkage is configured to replace at least a portion of each of two bones and a joint in a patient's body. Multiple linkages may be used to replace more bones and joints as required.
