Once the rod is touching it, externally rotate the cutting mask by 3°.
Note I:
The medial-lateral displacement resulting from this off-
setting must be carried out as deemed appropriate by
the physician, seeking to centre the femoral component,
although it must be noted that rotating towards the ex-
ternal part has the advantage of reducing the tension on
the patella and is conducive to it being centred on the
femoral component.
Note II:
The cutting mask has housings for 4, 8 and 12 mm dis-
tal supplements, which must be installed to provide pro-
per distal support to the cutting mask, mainly in those
cases where recuts have been necessary on the distal
condyles.
3° of external rotation
With the knee at 90° flexion, and the posterior condyles resting on the surface of the tibia which has previously been cut, insert the 3° external rotation
system into the posterior cutting slots of the cutting guide.
Fit the alignment bar into the hole 3° to the left or right. When this bar is aligned with the axis of the tibia, externally rotate the cutting guide by 3°.
This support also has a hole at 0° which may be used at the discretion of the surgeon.
