• By hand, place the 4-in-1 Cut Guide on the femur by aligning
the 2 pins on the back of the guide with the previously
drilled positioning holes
(Fig. 19) . Impact the face of the
guide until the guide is flush with the femur.
TECHNIQUE TIP 4.B
If the 2mm shift holes are to be used, assure that the desired holes
on the distal femur are used. The resection guide can be used as final
verification of the anticipated anterior and posterior resections.

Instruments
• Place the Resection Guide through the anterior slot of the
cut guide to ensure the desired anterior resection (Fig. 20) .
• If inadequate bone will be removed from the anterior cortex,
drill through the two holes on the face of the cut guide
(Fig. 21a) . Use the Slaphammer to axially remove the cut
guide (Fig. 22a & 22b) . Place the next smaller-sized femoral
cut guide on the femur in the newly drilled “posteriorized”
drill holes
(Fig. 21a & 21b) . Verify the anterior and posterior
resection levels with the resection guide to assure that the
desired resections will be attained. If usage of the smaller-
sized femoral cut guide will result in too much posterior bone
removal the original larger-sized femoral cut guide can be
used to make a more conservative posterior resection.
TECHNIQUE TIP 4.A
The flatness of the bone and stability of the 4-in-1 Cut Guide on the
femur is critical to ensuring sufficient contact between the implant
and the bone.
