Distal Femoral Resection
eXPert Advice: It is strongly recommended to utilize a femur
first technique to facilitate exposure and preparation of
the tibia.
• Utilize the .375" intramedullary (IM) drill (32-485025) to
penetrate the intercondylar notch of the distal femur to
a depth of approximately 1.5–2" (3.5–5 cm) (Figure 8).
• Place the canal entry location 1 cm above the insertion
of the posterior cruciate ligament and slightly medial in
the intercondylar notch.
Note: Irrigation and suction of the femoral canal can be
performed to decrease canal contents.
Option 1: Adjustable Distal Femoral
Resection Guide
• Set the adjustable distal cut guide (32-487000) to
the desired valgus angle by pressing and turning the
valgus angle dial (Figure 9A).
• Select the depth of distal resection by turning the
resection level dial (Figure 9B).
