Evaluate the lack of toggling or rocking of the femoral pin
guide to confirm the optimum placement of the guide. It
is not uncommon to see a 1 to 2 mm gap around the
periphery of the guide. Next drill two anterior pins and
two distal pins through the drill guides (Figure 12).
The anterior holes will be used to place the HP distal
femoral cutting block to perform the distal femoral cut.
The distal holes set the femoral rotation and match the
fixed reference pin placement of the SIGMA HP Femoral
4-in-1 Cutting Block.
Extract the two anterior and two distal pins and remove
femoral pin guide by flexing the guide from posterior to
anterior.
Note:
The TRUMATCH Solutions Drill Guides (P/N
2004-20-925) are reusable after sterilization. A
minimum of four (4) drill guides should be on hand
for a case. They are shipped separately from the
TRUMATCH Solutions Pin Guides.
Attach the H/P Universal Handle to the Anterior Reference
Guide (P/N 2004-20-926) and position the guide’s spikes
through the “0” mm holes, marked with a square, in the
SIGMA HP Distal Femoral Resection Block (Figure 13).
Using the handle, place the Anterior Reference Guide
spikes located through the SIGMA HP Distal Femoral
Resection Block into the anterior femoral holes.
