Tibial Aligner Technique
The following section describes an alternate technique
for positioning the tibial adjustment mechanism on
the tibia using the tibial aligner rather than the tibial
positioner.
Instrument Assembly
1. Follow steps four and five of the “Proximal Tibial
Cut: Instrument Assembly” section.
2. Assemble the tibial aligner by aligning the
markings of the tibial aligner upper assembly and
the tibial aligner lower assembly.
Note:
If desired, the tibial aligner can be used
without the upper assembly.
3. Connect the tibial aligner to the tibial adjustment
mechanism.
