If using a posterior referencing
technique, remove the Mini A/P Sizing
Guide and go to page 19, “Step Four –
Finish the Femur, Posterior Referencing
Technique.”
There are four External Rotation Plates:
0°/3° Left, 0°/3° Right, 5°/7° Left,
and 5°/7° Right. Choose the External
Rotation Plate that provides the desired
external rotation for the appropriate
knee. The 0° option can be used when
positioning will be determined by the
A/P axis or the epicondylar axis. Use
the 3° option for varus knees. Use
the 5° option for knees with a valgus
deformity from 10° to 13°. The 7°
option requires a standard exposure,
and is for knees with patellofemoral
disease accompanied by bone loss and
valgus deformity greater than 20°. In
this case, use the A/P axis to double
check rotation.
Attach the selected plate to the Mini
A/P Sizing Guide (Fig. 3d). Place two
Headless Holding Pins in the plate
through the two holes that correspond
to the desired external rotation, and
impact them (Fig. 3e). Leave the pins
proud of the guide.
NOTE:
Do not impact the Headless
Holding Pins flush with the External
Rotation Plate.

Careful attention should be taken when
placing the headless pins into the
appropriate External Rotation Plate as
these pins also set the A/P placement
for the MIS Femoral Finishing Guide
in the next step of the procedure. It is
important to monitor the location of the
anterior boom on the anterior cortex of
the femur to help ensure the anterior
cut will not notch the femur. Positioning
the anterior boom on the “high” part
of the femur by lateralizing the location
of the boom can often lessen the
likelihood of notching the femur.
Unlock and rotate the boom of the
guide medially until it clears the medial
condyle. Then remove the guide, but
leave the two headless pins. These
pins will establish the A/P position and
rotational alignment of the Femoral
Finishing Guide.
