For additional fixation, or in lieu of using the lock knob,
impact the captured pin on the medial or lateral side
of the adjustable valgus guide until the head of the
captured pin is flush with the plate (Figure 9).
Resect Distal Femur
Verify the adjustable valgus guide is set to the proper
side (left or right) and angle and that the adjustable
resection tower is set to the appropriate depth.

Technique Tip:
If unsure of the adjustable
resection tower depth setting, rotate the dial
clockwise until a “click” is felt. This occurs when
the dial moves from the ‘4’ setting to the ‘0’ setting.
The bold ‘0’ will be visible on the dial and the line
will be aligned with the ‘0’ mark along the shaft
(Figure 10).
Technique Tip:
Confirm valgus alignment by
inserting the drop rod adapter into the large holes
on the anterior face of the cut guide and insert an
alignment rod into the drop rod adapter (Figure 11).
