Note:
If the Femoral Fixed Reference Guide (P/N
2004-20-920) is unavailable, two fixation pins can be
inserted in the previously drilled distal femoral holes
and used to set the location of the HP Femoral 4-in-1
Cutting Block. The TRUMATCH Solutions Femoral
Pin Guide is designed to position the pin holes
posteriorly on the femur which maintains the ability
to move the block to resect 2 mm more bone anterior
or 2 mm more bone posterior with the same size
block regardless if the surgeon preference is anterior-
down or posterior-up. However, if it is necessary to
downsize the femoral component, the pin placement
references a posterior-up preference and the smaller
femoral block can be inserted over the posterior
placed pins. This will keep the posterior resection
in the same plane and take additional anterior
femoral bone. In order to address an anterior-
down preference and the ability to downsize the
component, drill two fixation pins through the “0”
mm holes, marked with a square with the planned
femoral block. Remove the femoral block and use
these anterior placed pins with the smaller block
when downsizing. This will keep the anterior femoral
resection in the same plane and take additional
posterior femoral condylar bone. In addition,
regarding the SIGMA Knee System, the HP SIGMA
RP-F, SIGMA CR-150 and the standard SIGMA Fixed
Reference Femoral 4-in-1 Cutting Blocks look very
similar. Care should be taken to use the appropriate
block as this could result in under or over resection
of the posterior femoral condyles with use of the
wrong cutting block.
