Patent attributes
A measurement device is provided for measuring a resected femoral head. The device comprises a base (102) with a support rod (104) extending transversely from the base and extending in a direction corresponding to a height of a resected femoral head. A femoral head support (108) is attached to a base proximate an end of the support rod (104) for supporting a severed end of a femoral head at a selected incline between about 30° and 60° relative to the base such that a height of the resected femoral head extends in the general direction of the support rod. A transverse height indicating arm (120) is adjustable up the height of the support rod (104) so as to measure the height of a resected femoral head (106) positioned on the femoral head support in use. The transverse height indicating arm (120) may carry adjustable offset indicating arm (122).
