Tibial Preparation

Tibial Resection with Intact/

Functional ACL (cont.)

Horizontal Resection - Medial Side Only

•  Remove the vertical resection block by unlocking the
  cam lever and sliding the guide from the two threaded
  pins, leaving the headless threaded pins (32-700379)
  in place.

Note: The pins will not protect the island from
undercutting, but should be used as a guide only. It is
advised not to have the blade hit the pins.

• To create a captured cut slot, secure the tibial

cutting block insert (32-700074) onto the tibial universal
cutting block (Figure 29).

•  The cut block may be used as a surface block by not
  attaching the tibial cutting block insert. Resect the medial
  plateau only (Figure 30).

Note: Use a 1.4 mm thick, narrow (12–13 mm) saw blade
for the tibial resection.

eXPert Advice: Avoid having the oscillating saw blade
contact the threaded pins as it will vibrate out or undercut
the island.
