Locating the distal femoral cutting block
The 6° femoral bushing corresponds to the
angle α that was determined in the preop-
erative planning. The femoral bushing is
inserted into the femoral suspension device,
so that, depending on the operated leg, the
mark L for “left knee” or R for “right knee” is
visible on the arrow .
Important
Make sure the femoral bushing is inserted in
the correct position (“L” or “R”). If necessary,
this can be corrected by removing, rotating
180°, and reinserting the femoral bushing.
Screw the femoral/tibial cutting block to the
femoral suspension device and position over
the reamer extension (∅ 8 mm). The handles
can then be attached.
Important
In revision cases, the revision spacer for
femoral condyle is attached to the femoral
suspension device. This serves as a
substitute for the missing distal bone
substance. The resulting resection is still
2 mm.
Align the device according to rotation. Note
that the removable handles are parallel to the
epicondylar axis.
After preliminary drilling with the ∅ 3.2 mm
drill, set the femoral suspension device in
place distally using a bone pin (75 mm long).
