Instrumentation and a method for resurfacing a joint capsule having cartilage and meniscal surfaces such as a knee joint includes resecting a central portion of the joint cartilage on one joint member such as the tibia while leaving a meniscal rim attached to the peripheral joint capsule. The monitor circuit includes a pull-up portion including at least one PMOS transistor and a pull-down portion comprising at least one NMOS transistor. The second end of the first handle and the second end of the second handle are adjustably spaced from one another for receiving light bulb bases of varying size and are opposable for gripping the light bulb base, thereby allowing the operator to extract the light bulb and insert another light bulb into the socket. In alternate embodiments, there can be square-shaped, oval shaped, rectangular-shaped or other shaped wave patterns as well. The wire can be carried by the plate or by the hopper.
