Abstract
A femoral head guide clamp can include jaws and two opposing arms that extend from the jaws. The jaws can include an aperture shaped such that the jaws have a closed position in which the aperture fits around a femoral neck of a patient but is too small to accept a femoral head of a patient, and an open position in which the aperture is expanded such that it is large enough to allow the femoral head to pass through. The arms can include a proximal section in which the arms are substantially parallel in a side-by-side arrangement, and a distal section in which the arms extend away from each other such that moving the two distal sections towards each other moves the jaws towards the open position.
