Abstract

The self-biasing ankle clamp tibial alignment guide includes a clamp body, at least one lever arm outwardly extending from the clamp body, and an alignment rod generally upwardly extending toward a proximal end of a patient tibia and movable relative to the clamp body. A strap couples to the lever arm to exert a force thereon offset from a contact point where the clamp body pulls into engagement with a patient, thereby generating a moment about the contact point that causes the alignment rod carrying a cutting guide to bias forward into engagement with the patient.
