Preoperative planning
On a full lower limb radiological view determine the
angle between the anatomical and the mechanical
axes. This measurement will be used intraoperatively
to select the appropriate valgus angle so that correct
limb alignment is restored. (Beware of misleading
angles in knees with a flexion contracture or rotated
lower extremities.)
Note: Many surgeons prefer to simply select
a standard angle for the distal femoral cut
(ie, 5º, 6º or 7º) based on the patient and
surgical experience.
Recommended sawblade
Cutting thickness and blade thickness
should be 0.053" or 1.35mm.
