Evaluate the distal cut using the reference guide or angel
wing (Figure 14A). If needed, the block may be shifted 2
mm proximally or distally by selecting the appropriate
offset holes adjacent to the “0” mm hole.
For additional stability during the cut, an optional third,
fixation pin can be placed through the cutting block in
either the lower medial or lateral holes. Perform the distal
femoral resection using a 1.19 mm whale tail thick saw
blade (Figure 14B).
Remove the HP Distal Femoral cutting block and confirm
the bone cuts are clean and without any under-cut bone
fragments.
Note:
In order to address gap assessment and
ligament tension, it may be necessary to re-cut
additional bone from the distal femur or the
proximal tibia. The HP spacer block and alignment
rod are useful in assessing leg alignment and gap
balance.
