Abstract
A surgical resection guide enables a surgeon to resect a femoral neck, during a hip arthroplasty procedure, such that a femoral prosthesis can be implanted within a patient to preserve or closely approximate the anatomic center of rotation of the hip. The guide is able to be used for left or right hip arthroplasty procedures, with either anterior or posterior surgical approaches.
