Preparation phase • Press the touch screen to select the preferred system language. • Select «Knee», then select the ANATOMIC implant and the 4-in-1 protocol. ® • On the «Information» page, input the required information using the virtual keyboard. - Surgeon name - Patient name - Patient date of birth (optional) - Operated side (select right or left)
Page 19
Preparation phase • Clip the round markers to the arrays: - 3 for the Tibia (T) array - 3 for the Femur (F) array - 4 for the Pointer (P) array - 3 for the Guide (G) array • The pins must be placed on the anteromedial side of the femur and tibia (when the surgeon stands on the lateral side) and must not interfere with tap placement.
Workstation setup Setting up the camera: • Position the camera head so the letters corresponding to the F and T arrays are in the middle of the field of view. The laser located in the positioning handles on the camera head (V2 Workstation) or between the two optical sensors (V3 Workstation) makes this adjustment easier.

Page 31
Tibial planning Reference point for tibial resection height: • Select and acquire the reference point that will be used to define the resection height, e.g. a point on the healthy side. • Use the information from the heat map showing the healthiest areas (highest points) in green tints and the most worn areas (lowest points) in red tints.
Page 33
Acquisition fémorale Top of intercondylar notch: • Place the pointer tip at the top of the femur’s intercondylar notch and along the femoral shaft axis, then confirm. Medial and lateral posterior condyles: • Place the pointer tip at the top of the medial posterior condyle and validate; do the same for the top of the lateral posterior condyle.
Page 35
Femoral acquisition Digitisation of femoral articular surface The goals of this step are to acquire the femoral bone surface and verify its accuracy. • Place the pointer tip on the bone surface. Press and hold trigger then move the tip along the surface being acquired.
Page 37
Femoral acquisition Measuring the pre-operative HKA angle: • Extend the leg so that there is no load on it. • View the pre-operative HKA angle. • An initial estimate of joint laxity will be displayed (projection of points acquired on tibial articular surfaces onto the femur).

Tibial cut guiding and acquisition This step consists of two functions: - Navigation of tibial resection plane. - Acquisition of the cut. Tibial cut guiding: This step can be performed using either: - the universal alignment guide, or - the semi-assisted resection guide. If using the universal alignment guide: •...

Management of extension gaps • Extend the knee so that it is as close as possible to the value shown in parentheses on the screen. NOTE: For example, if the tibial cut has a 2° posterior slope and the distal femoral cut is in 1° flexion, then the leg needs to be placed in 3°...
Page 49
Management of flexion gaps • Flex the knee so that it is as close as possible to the value shown in parentheses (see explanation on page 47). • Place tension on the ligaments and evaluate the medial and lateral gaps between the tibial cut and the virtual femoral component.

In patients with osteoporosis, better fixation can be achieved by adding a pin in the intercondylar notch, connect the two handles on the cutting guide for better hold while inserting the pins. • Make the anterior and posterior cuts using a medium AMPLITUDE saw blade that matches the ® instrumentation set and motorized handpiece.
Page 55
Placement of trial femoral component • Select the trial femoral component of the same size as the 4-in-1 resection guide used in the previous steps (the planned size is shown on the upper part of the screen) and of the same operated side.
Page 57

Trial implants In extension: • Install a trial insert of the same thickness as the gaps shown during ligament balancing. • Extend the leg. • The HKA angle, and medial and lateral gaps with the trial components in place will be displayed. In flexion: •...
Page 61
Tibial plateau preparation Important: remove the 2 headless pins left in the tibia. • Position the appropriate sized routing guide onto the trial baseplate. • Ream using the tibial reamer to the stop(same for all sizes). • Impact the appropriate sized tibial stem punch. (In case of a sclerotic bone or after osteotomy, prepare first with an osteotome).
Page 63
Patellar preparation Patellar resection option After clearing the area around the patella, • Place the clamp so the two lugs are on the anterior side of the patella. • With the clamp jaws open, bring the 8 mm probe into contact with the articular surface using the adjustment knob.
Page 65
Placing definitive implants • On the selected tibial baseplate (with or without cement), tighten the stem or, if required, the extension stem using the wrench. • Position the baseplate with the tibial baseplate impactor. • Place the polyethylene insert with the size corresponding to the femur and the thickness validated during testing.

Instrumentation set • In addition to the ANATOMIC 4-in-1 instrumentation, the following are required: ® - AMPLIVISION Navigation Station, ® - Sterile, single-use markers (14 per pack), - the AMPLIVISION Universal Navigation Set. ® Sterile markers: The arrays must be equipped with markers to be visible to the camera. These markers are attached through the nipples on the array (3 for the F, T and G arrays and 4 for the pointer P).
