Surgical Technique
Position the Guide (cont.)
Adjust the distal end of the MIS distal telescoping rod
by moving the slide at the foot of the rod medially or
laterally until the guide is aligned with the mechanical
axis of the tibia. The end of the MIS distal telescoping
rod should be positioned about 5 mm-10 mm medial to
the midpoint between the palpable medial and lateral
malleoli (Figure 1h). When the proper M/L position is
achieved, tighten the anterior knob to secure the MIS
distal telescoping rod to the ankle bar.
Loosen the knob on the side of the distal end of
the MIS distal telescoping rod. Then use the slide
adjustment to align the rod in the sagittal plane so it is
parallel to the anterior tibial shaft. This will create a 7°
posterior tibial slope. If more or less slope is desired,
use the slide adjustment to obtain the desired slope.
Then tighten the knob. If there is a bulky bandage
around the ankle, adjust the rod to accommodate the
bandage. This will help ensure that the tibia will be cut
with the proper slope.
Use the hex-head screwdriver to tighten all of the
screws on the tibial assembly to maintain position.
Then use the resection guide through the cutting slot
to assess the slope of the cut (Figure 1i).
