The Standard Cut Plate must be
attached to the Adjustable IM
Alignment Guide for a standard distal
femoral resection.
Use a hex-head
screwdriver to tighten the plate on
the guide prior to use (Figs. 1e & 1f),
but the screws should be loosened
for sterilization. If preferred, remove
the Standard Cut Plate if a significant
flexion contracture exists. This will
allow for an additional 3mm of distal
femoral bone resection.

Insert the IM guide into the hole in
the distal femur. If the epicondyles
are visible, the epicondylar axis
may be used as a guide in setting
the orientation of the Adjustable IM
Alignment Guide. If desired, add the
Threaded Handles to the guide and
position the handles relative to the
epicondyles. This does not set rotation
of the femoral component, but keeps
the distal cut oriented to the final
component rotation.
Once the proper orientation is
achieved, impact the IM guide until it
seats on the most prominent condyle.
After impacting, check to ensure that
the valgus setting has not changed.
Ensure that the guide is contacting at
least one distal condyle. This will set
the proper distal femoral resection.
Optional Technique:
An Extramedullary
Alignment Arch and Alignment Rod can
be used to confirm the alignment. If
this is anticipated, identify the center
of the femoral head before draping. If
extramedullary alignment will be the
only mode of alignment, use a palpable
radiopaque marker in combination with
an A/P x-ray film to help ensure proper
location of the femoral head.
NOTE:
The Mini Micro Cut Plate can be
used when templating has indicated
that a Micro implant is likely. When
the Mini Micro Cut Plate is attached
to the MIS Adjustable IM Alignment
Guide, Short, one millimeter (1mm)
less bone is removed. However, if a
significant flexion contracture exists
and no plate is attached, an additional
4mm will be removed compared to the
distal femoral cut when the Mini Micro
Cut Plate is attached. For less bone
resection, adjustments can be made
using the +2mm/-2mm holes on the
Mini Distal Cut Guide.
