United Orthopedic U2 MB Knee Set Femoral Valgus Angle Remove the T-Handle and slip the Femoral IMAlignment Guide through the Femoral IM Rod . Use the Femoral IMAlignment Guide to set the angle of the distal femoral resection for either a Left or Right Knee. The guide allows up to 11° of valgus angle adjustment. The ideal angle should be determined according to pre-operative planning. When the alignment guide is properly engaged with the distal femur, use a Threaded Pin to secure the assemblies. Assemble both Alignment Rod and the Extramedullary Alignment Tower to the Femoral IMAlignment Guide . The Alignment Rod can now be used to determine the proper mechanical axis. Distal Femoral Resection Instruments A. Distal Femoral Resection Step Drill Femoral IM Rod T-Handle Instruments A. Access Canal With the ACL removed, the location of the typical femoral entry hole is deemed to be slightly medial to the center of the intercondylar notch, and approximately 5 to 7 mm anterior to the insertion of the PCL. Use the Step Drill to create an opening into the femoral canal. This allows for depressurization of the canal when the Femoral IM Rod is inserted. Assemble the Femoral IM Rod and T-Handle , and manually insert past the isthmus of the femoral canal. Note: If the canal isthmus diameter is thought to be too narrow for standard passage of the rod, advancement maybe discontinued, and an intraoperative radiograph may be employed to access the appropriate location of the rod.
