Abstract
An assembly may include a retractor pivotally coupled to a guide rod. The retractor may include a generally arcuate projection having a convex retractor surface, a concave cutting shield surface, and a retractor coupling feature. The guide rod may include an elongate member and a rod coupling feature that may be configured to engage the retractor coupling feature to pivotably couple the guide rod to the retractor. The assembly may be placed on a lateral side of a medial collateral ligament of a knee joint to retract the medial collateral ligament away from a tibial plateau of the knee joint and protect the medial collateral ligament during a tibial plateau resection procedure.
