Femoral Preparation

Femoral Intramedullary Alignment

>

   The Universal Driver allows for attachment of 

all drills and pins .  The Universal Driver may be 

attached directly to a reamer, drill, or a Jacob’s 

Chuck .

>

   Locate the IM drill hole; it is approximately 1cm 

anterior to the femoral attachment of the posterior 

cruciate ligament and slightly medial to the midline 

of the distal femur .

>

   Identification of landmarks may be aided by 

removal of osteophytes from the margins of the 

intercondylar notch .

>

   Attach  the

” IM Drill to the Universal Driver and 

drill into the IM canal ensuring that the drill is 

parallel to the shaft of the femur .  The first diameter 

will create a tight fit around the IM Rod .  If further 

clearance is desired, continue to drill until the larger 

step diameter opens the hole .  This will allow the IM 

canal to dictate the position of the rod avoiding the 

need to “toggle” the drill to create clearance .

   Attach the T-Handle Driver to the

” IM Rod .  

Insert the IM Rod into the MIS Femoral Alignment 

Guide .  The MIS Femoral Alignment Guide is 

designed for use on either the left or right knee and 

may be set between 2° and 9° of valgus (Note: this is 

typically set between 5° and 7°) .  Set the instrument 

to the desired angle by pulling back on the black 

knob of the MIS Femoral Alignment Guide and 

placing it in the appropriate notch .  Advance the 

rod, with attached guide, slowly up the IM canal 

until the desired depth is reached ensuring that the 

alignment guide is flush against the most prominent 

condyle .

>

   Snap the MIS Distal Resection Guide onto the MIS 

Adjustment Block and insert the posts of the MIS 

Adjustment Block into the two holes in the MIS 

Femoral Alignment Guide .

>

   Place the MIS Femoral Alignment Guide in contact 

with the more prominent distal femoral condyle and 

align the guide in neutral I/E rotation .  The guide 

face is angled at 3° and has a tick mark to reference 

Whiteside’s Line to set I/E rotation, if desired .
