Set the orientation of the adjustable valgus guide by
placing it against the most prominent distal condyle
and rotating it about the IM rod so that the engraved
lines are aligned with the epicondylar axis (Figure 8a).
Turn the lock knob on the adjustable valgus guide
clockwise, to the locked position, to secure orientation
of the assembly (Figure 8b).
Note: Setting rotation of the adjustable valgus
guide is important for creating a distal resection
that matches the desired valgus angle selected. It
does not set the rotation of the femoral component.
