Abstract
A modular wrist guide is provided that aids a user in operating a hand-held surgical instrument to accurately perform surgical procedures including but not limited to joint arthroplasty. The modular wrist guide acts to constrain the orientation of a hand-held surgical instrument, or a user's wrist relative to the user's forearm to perform a procedure according to a surgical plan. A forearm embracing member is designed to secure the user's forearm to the modular wrist guide.
