Resect Distal Femur (cont.)
Optional Instrument (cont.)
Insert the resection guide into the cut slot of the cut
guide to verify the depth of resection.
Insert a trocar tipped pin through at least one of the
locking, or oblique, pin holes in the cut guide to further
secure the cut guide to the femur (Figure 14).
Using a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) oscillating saw blade
through the cut slot in the cut guide, resect the distal
femur.
Note: The flatness of the distal femoral resection
is critical to ensuring adequate contact between
the porous femoral implant and the bone. If using
a porous femoral implant, evaluate the flatness of
the resection prior to sizing and modify the cut as
necessary so that it is completely flat.
Remove all pins and the cut guide.

Optional Cutting Technique

If desired, the bone resection can be made from the
top (most distal) surface of the cut guide (Figure 15a).
The top surface of the cut guide is 4 mm from the cut
slot. Therefore, if cutting from the top surface, the
position of the cut guide must be adjusted by moving
the cut guide from the trocar tipped pins through
the '0' holes and reinserting the cut guide onto the
trocar tipped pins through the holes marked '+4'
(Figure 15b). Insert a trocar tipped pin through at least
one of the locking, or oblique, pin holes in the cut
guide to further secure the cut guide to the femur prior
to cutting the femur.
