A connecting member (18) which has a slot connects the first arm and the second arm, such that the first bone gripping member and the second bone gripping member face each other. A stylus is pivotably mounted to the first arm and the second arm and has a free end received in the slot in the connecting member. The first arm and the second arm of the patella resection guide are movable to a variety of positions with different distances between the first bone-gripping member and the second bone-gripping member, while the stylus is in place connected to the first arm and second arm and with the free end of the stylus within the slot in the connecting member.
