Tibial resection
Perform the tibial resection using a 1 mm
(or 1.27 mm option) saw blade through the 0
saw slot (closed slot with facet).
To lock the femoral/tibial cutting block
securely, an additional pin can be inserted
into the oblique holes marked “AUX”.
Remove the pin after resection.
Important
If the M/L ligaments have not been resected,
they must be protected during all resections.
When using a tibial augmentation block, the
femoral/tibial cutting block can be shifted
downward by positioning one of the two
bone pins in the holes marked “10”.
Checking the joint gaps
Check the tension in both flexion and
extension with spacers. The spacers (8, 11,
and 14) represent the heights of the femoral
component and the full tibial component
(tibial component and tibial insert).
Important
When using a 10 mm tibial augmentation
block, attach two 10 mm corresponding
spacer blocks to the spacer.
If necessary, perform additional release or
resection.
Important
To release the spacer blocks, a long pin can
be inserted into the hole and used as a lever.
Next, remove the two bone pins in the tibia.
