Abstract: A hip brace is provided having a waist belt, waist cuff, longitudinal support assembly and hip joint extension limiting strap. The waist belt is secured around the waist of a wearer and the waist cuff and longitudinal support assembly are positioned on the side of the body adjacent to the affected hip joint. The waist cuff is attached to the waist belt above the hip joint and the longitudinal support assembly extends from the waist cuff past the hip joint along the length of the thigh and is hinged in correspondence with the hip joint. The extension limiting strap extends posteriorly from a lateral anchor position on the waist cuff to a posterior anchor position on the waist belt and prevents undesirable migration of the waist cuff during hip joint extension.

Abstract: A drill guide formed by a cannulated body with a distal opening and at least one drill guide arm extending from the outer wall forming the cannulated body at an acute angle is disclosed. The inner channel formed by the cannulated body may be concentric with the cannulated body. The drill guide arm may extend at an angle from the outer wall and may extend from the outer wall at a point generally opposite to a distalmost point on the distal surface. As such, the drill guide arm may be offset from the inner channel forming the cannulated body, thereby enabling the inner channel to be aligned and concentric with the cannulated body forming the inner channel.
