The present invention provides a method and device for restoring
individual patient joint kinematics using minimally invasive surgical
procedures. The instrumentation of the invention sculpts the articular
surface of a first bone that normally articulates in a predetermined
manner with a second bone. The instrumentation includes a bone sculpting
tool and a mount for attaching the tool to the second bone. The implant
system is comprised of implants that provide intraoperative surgical
options for articular constraint and facilitate proper alignment and
orientation of the joint to restore kinematics as defined by the
individual patient anatomy.
