Note:
The ‘0’ setting can be set to indicate a 1 mm
through 9 mm resection depth, in 1 mm increments,
by assembling the corresponding resection plate to
the valgus guide. Figure 5 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.
Technique Tip:
If it is possible that the femoral
component may be a size 1 or 2, then consider
cutting the distal resection for a size 1 or 2. If the
size of the femur is later determined to be 3-12, then
the additional bone cut can be made using the 1 mm
resection plate.
Insert the adjustable resection tower into the
adjustable valgus guide.
Rotate the lock lever on the adjustable resection tower
to the unlocked, or “in-line”, position and fully insert
into the cut guide (Figure 6a). Flip the lock lever to the
locked, or “vertical”, position to secure it to the cut
guide (Figure 6b).
Technique Tip:
The adjustable resection tower
is compatible with the fixed valgus guide and
the fixed resection tower is compatible with the
adjustable valgus guide. These instruments can be
interchanged to accommodate surgical preference.
