Abstract

See full text

A femoral preparation instrumentation system and method employs a multi-purpose sizing guide for placement at the distal femur, secured to an intramedullary alignment rod seated within the femur, enabling the determination of the appropriate size for the femoral knee prosthesis to be implanted and the setting of the axial rotational position of the femoral knee prosthesis, and providing for the accomplishment of preliminary posterior condylar cuts and the location of a distal femoral resection guide at the distal femur, while the sizing guide remains in place at the distal femur.
