Abstract
A limb sparring system for replacing a portion of a radius, the radius being adjacent to an ulna, the system comprising a cutting guide including a cut guiding portion for guiding a saw when making a predetermined cut in the radius to excise the portion of the radius, an opposed ulnar mounting portion mountable to the ulna, and a linking portion extending therebetween; and an endoprosthesis configured for replacing the portion of the radius after the portion of the radius has been excised. When the cutting guide is operatively mounted to the radius and ulna, the cut guiding portion and the ulnar mounting portion engage respectively the radius and the ulna in a predetermined spatial relationship relative thereto.
