Pull the lever on the modular handle and insert the IM
rod (Figure 107). Orientation of the IM rod will align
with the polished line on the sides of the modular
handle.
Technique Tip:
Alternately, the IM rod may be
inserted into the top of the modular handle to
accommodate surgical preference.
Insert the IM rod into the fixed valgus guide.
Note:
If desired, align the depth markings on the
IM rod with the flat plate of the fixed valgus guide
to set the IM rod at a specific length (Figure 108).
Figure 107
Insert the fixed resection tower into the face of the
fixed valgus guide indicating the angle and side of the
knee (left or right).
Note:
The valgus alignment guide will resect
10 mm of distal bone. The distal resection can be
changed to 1 mm through 9 mm resection depth, in
1 mm increments, by assembling the corresponding
resection plate to the valgus guide. Figure 109
illustrates this with the 9 mm resection plate.
The 9 mm and 8 mm resection plates may facilitate
correction of recurvatum and the 1 mm – 3 mm
resection plates can be used for recutting the distal
femur, if needed.
The size 1 and 2 femoral components are 1 mm
thinner distally than sizes 3-12. Consider adjusting
the resection depth on these sizes to accommodate
for this difference.
