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.

The present invention, in the preferred embodiment, is a surgery recovery brassiere which resolves many of the problems faced by women who have undergone breast surgery and particularly, mastectomy. The present invention comprises front panels, prosthesis panels, rear panels, torso band, straps, drain tube apertures and fluid collection storage pouch.More specifically, two front panels each comprise a cup portion and a conforming portion. The prosthesis panels are attached to the rear facing of the cup portion of the front panel to form enclosed pockets to hold one or two prosthesis. Each of the two rear panels are joined at one end to the front panels and extend to meet the opposing rear panel at a back closure. The free end of each of the front panels meet to form a front closure. Straps extend from the top of the front panel to the top of the adjacent rear panel. The torso band extends around the lower edge of the surgery recovery brassiere to form an almost continuous strip of material along the lower edge of the front and rear panels.The surgery recovery brassiere further accommodates post-operative surgical drainage systems composed of one or more drain tubes and associated fluid collection bulbs. The position of drainage tube apertures, generally located proximate to the joint between the front and rear panels, allow drainage tubes to protrude from the chest wall, through the apertures and into the collection storage pouch. Tab closures allow the wearer to secure the drainage tubes within the aperture to further reduce movement of the tubes and disturbance of the drainage system. The storage pouch provides pockets with elastic top entry so that collection bulbs are within easy, convenient reach for emptying lymphatic fluids and other waste materials. The upper edge of the storage pouch releasably attaches to the torso band with a hook-and-loop fastener system.
