Surgical Technique
Step Five: Size Femur and
Establish External Rotation
Flex the knee to 90°. Attach the MIS threaded handle
to the medial side of the mini A/P sizing guide, and
place the guide flat onto the smoothly cut distal femur
(Figure 5a). Apply the guide so that the flat surface of
the mini A/P sizing guide is flush against the resected
surface of the distal femur and the feet of the mini A/P
sizing guide are flush against the posterior condyles.
Slide the body of the mini A/P sizing guide along
the shaft to the level of the medullary canal. Position
the guide mediolaterally, and check the position by
looking through both windows of the guide to ensure
that the medullary canal is not visible through either.
Note:
Remove any osteophytes that interfere with
instrument positioning.
While holding the mini A/P sizing guide in place,
secure the guide to the resected distal femur using
a short 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) Headed screw or predrill and
insert a short-head holding pin into the lateral hole
in the lower portion of the guide.
Note: Remove the
threaded handle before using the screw inserter/
extractor.
Then remove the threaded handle and
insert a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) headed screw or predrill and
insert a short-head holding pin into the medial hole in
the lower portion of the guide. Do not over tighten or
the anterior portion will not slide on the distal femur.
Slightly extend the knee and retract soft tissues to
expose the anterior femoral cortex. Clear any soft
tissue from the anterior cortex. Ensure that the leg is
in less than 90° of flexion (70°-80°). This will decrease
the tension of the patellar tendon to facilitate
placement of the guide.
Attach the MIS locking boom to the mini A/P sizing
guide. Ensure that the skin does not put pressure on
the top of the boom and potentially change its position.
The position of the boom dictates the exit point of
the anterior bone cut and the ultimate position of the
femoral component. When the boom is appropriately
positioned, lock it by turning the knurled knob (Figure
5b).
