Resect Distal Femur (cont.)
Insert a trocar tipped pin through each of the standard
pin holes marked '0' on the anterior surface of the cut
guide (Figure 12).
Flip the lock lever on the adjustable resection tower to
the unlocked, or "in-line", position and pull the handle
to remove the IM rod and assembled distal resection
instrumentation leaving only the cut guide attached to
the femur (Figure 13).
Note: If the captured pin was deployed it may be
necessary to first remove it from the bone using the
pin puller. Alternatively, removing the IM rod from
the adjustable valgus guide may facilitate removal
of the captured pin from the bone.

Optional Instrument

A fixed distal resection system exists for users who, for
all patients, maintain a consistent valgus angle for their
distal cut. For use of this instrument refer to Appendix
C: Optional Instruments: Resect Distal Femur - Fixed
Distal Resection Instrument Section 1.
Technique Tip: Additional 2 mm adjustments may
be made by using the sets of holes marked -2, +2,
and +4. These sets of holes indicate, in millimeters,
the amount of additional bone resection each
will yield relative to the resection setting on the
resection tower (where '0' represents 10 mm.
However, if the 9 mm resection plate is used, the '0'
represents 9 mm).
