Posterior Referencing Technique
Select the correct size MIS Femoral
Finishing Guide (silver colored) or
MIS Flex Femoral Finishing Guide
(gold colored) as determined by
the measurement from the A/P
Sizing Guide. An additional 2mm
(approximately) of bone is removed
from the posterior condyles when
using the flex finishing guide.
Attach the Posterior Reference/
Rotation Guide to the selected
femoral finishing guide (Fig. 4k). Lock
the femoral position locator on the
rotation guide to the zero position (Fig.
4l). This zero setting helps to ensure
that, when the feet are flush with the
posterior condyles, the amount of
posterior bone resection will average
9mm when using the standard
MIS Femoral Finishing Guides, and
approximately 11mm when using the
MIS Flex Femoral Finishing Guides.

If desired, attach the MIS Locking
Boom to the face of the finishing guide
to check the location of the anterior
cut and determine if notching will
occur (Fig. 4n). The boom tip indicates
where the anterior femoral cut will exit
the bone.
Remove any lateral osteophytes
that may interfere with guide
placement. Position the finishing
guide mediolaterally. The width of the
finishing guide replicates the width of
the
NexGen
CR Femoral Component.
The width of the flex finishing guide
replicates the width of the
NexGen
LPS, LPS-Flex, and CR-Flex Femoral
Components.
Place the finishing guide on the distal
femur, bringing the feet of the rotation
guide flush against the posterior
condyles of the femur (Fig. 4m).
Set the rotation of the finishing
guide parallel to the epicondylar
axis. Check the rotation of the guide
by reading the angle indicated by
the Posterior Reference/Rotation
Guide. The epicondylar line is rotated
externally 0° to 8°, (4±4°), relative to
the posterior condyles. The external
rotation angle can also be set relative
to the posterior condyles, lining up the
degrees desired.
