Technique Tip:
If more fixation is desired, insert
trocar tipped pins in the small oblique holes on the
cutting head.
If pin(s) were used to maintain rotational alignment of
the alignment guide, use the multi pin puller to remove
the pin(s). Alternatively, the pin/screw inserter can be
used to remove these pin(s).
Squeeze the button on the distal femoral resection
guide (Figure 137) to release and remove the femoral
valgus alignment guide and distal femoral resection
guide assembly from the cutting head. The modular
T-handle is used to remove the IM rod, prior to the
distal femoral resection.
Alternatively, the modular T-handle can be used to
remove the IM rod while the button on the distal femoral
resection guide is squeezed to facilitate rapid removal
of the IM rod, the femoral valgus alignment guide and

the distal femoral resection guide at the same time. If
necessary, the round end of the slaphammer can be
used in conjunction with the central hole in the modular
T-handle to remove the IM rod.
Cut the distal femur through the cutting slot in the
cutting head, using a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) oscillating
saw blade (Figure 138).
Technique Tip:
Check the flatness of the distal
femoral cut with a flat surface, such as the top of
one of the tibial cut guides. If necessary, modify the
distal femoral surface so that it is completely flat.
This is extremely important for the placement of
subsequent guides and for proper fit of the implant.
After completing the cut, remove pins and the
cutting head.
