Note:
The Zimmer NexGen Posterior
Referencing Instruments 2/10 mm or 4/6 mm
Tibial Depth Resection Stylus or the NexGen
Tibial Depth Resection Stylus can be used to set
the resection.

The Natural-Knee II Tibial Stylus
(provided by Zimmer) can be used to set the
resection. The stylus must be screwed on top
of the tibial cut guide instead of being inserted
in its slot.

The left/right tibial cut guides are
side specific and must be used per the
corresponding left/right tibial adjustment
mechanism.

Each line increment on the rod measures
2 mm.
5. Set the resection level in accordance with the
standard surgical technique.
6. Ensure that the tibial cut guide is well seated on the
anterior contour of the tibia (i.e. medial side of the
tibial cut guide must be in contact with the tibia).
