Once the universal cutting block is secured with pins,
remove pins from valgus alignment guide and slide
the valgus alignment guide anteriorly to fully remove it.
Then remove the IM -handle and valgus bushing from
the Intra-medullary canal.
7.
Extend the knee fully and insert drop rod guide
assembly in to the blade slot of the universal cutting
block to check Hip Knee Mechanical Axis (HKA) before
resection (Figure 4).
8.
By sliding the resection check guide (angel wing) in to
the blade slot of the universal cutting block assess the
bone resection level before performing the resection.
The universal cutting block pinned through the “0”
holes will resect 9.5mm from the prominent condyle of
the femur (Figure 5).
9.
If additional bone removal is desired, for example in the
case of a fixed flexion deformity, the universal cutting
block can be shifted superiorly by removing it from the
pins and reinserting it onto the “+2” pin holes. This will
result in a 11.5mm distal resection (Figure 6).
