around the malleoli, set rotation using the tibial

6. Place the distal part of the tibial alignment guide
on the ankle by firmly gripping the distal clamps
around the malleoli until both spikes are fully

malleoli.
Warning:
After wrapping/preparing the ankle,
the surgeon should still be able to palpate the
malleoli.
7. While continuing to firmly grip the distal clamps
around the malleoli, partially insert (2-3 mm) the
longer spike of the proximal part of the tibial
alignment guide through the mechanical axis
entry point, without engaging the shorter spike.
