Exposure
The incision can be made with the leg
in flexion or extension, according to
preference. Make a medial parapatellar
skin incision extending from the
superior pole of the patella to about
2cm-4cm below the joint line adjacent
to the tibial tubercle (Fig. 4).
Incise the joint capsule in line with
the skin incision beginning just distal
to the vastus medialis muscle and
extending to a point distal to the tibial
plateau (Fig. 5). Excise the fat pad, as
necessary to facilitate visualization,
being careful not to cut the anterior
horn of the lateral meniscus. Reflect
the soft tissue subperiosteally from
the tibia along the joint line back
towards, but not into, the collateral
ligament. Excise the anterior third
of the meniscus. The remainder of
the meniscus will be removed after
bone resection.
A subperiosteal dissection should be
carried out towards the midline, ending
at the patellar tendon insertion. This
will facilitate positioning of the tibial
cutting guide.
Debride the joint and inspect it
carefully. Remove intercondylar
osteophytes to avoid impingement with
the tibial spine or cruciate ligament.
Also, remove peripheral osteophytes
that interfere with the collateral
ligaments and capsule. With medial
compartment disease, osteophytes
are commonly found on the lateral
aspect of the medial tibial eminence
and anterior to the origin of the ACL.
Final debridement will be performed
before component implantation. Careful
osteophyte removal may be important
in achieving full extension.

Patient Preparation
With the patient in the supine position,
test the range of hip and knee flexion.
If unable to achieve 120° of knee
flexion, a larger incision may be
necessary to create sufficient exposure.
Wrap the ankle area with an elastic
wrap. Do not place bulky drapes on
the distal tibia, ankle, or foot. A bulky
drape in this area will make it difficult
to locate the center of the ankle,
and will displace the Tibial Resector,
which may cause inaccurate cuts.
Be sure that the proximal femur
is accessible for assessing the
femoral head location. Use anatomic
landmarks to identify the location of
the femoral head. Alternatively, the
surgeon may prefer to reference the
anterior-superior iliac spine.
Technique tip: Place a marker, such
as an EKG electrode, over the center
of the femoral head. Then confirm the
location with an A/P radiograph.
