A. Distal Femoral Resection Attach the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide to the Distal Femoral Alignment Guide . Drill pilot holes through the "0" pin holes on the anterior surface of the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide and insert a pair of Round Pins to secure the Cutting guide. Before performing the distal femur resection, additional Threaded Pins may be placed to further secure the resection guide. Then, use a standard .050" (1.27 mm) saw blade through the cutting slot to resect the distal femur. Optional tip for +1/-1 mm bone resection: The +3 mm cutting slot may be utilized by combining and shifting the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide to the adjacent +2 mm or -2 mm holes to create +1- or -1 mm bone resection. For example: use the +2 mm holes for initial fixation, then shift the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide to the 0 mm holes and use +3 mm cutting slot to allow an +1 mm bone cut (bone cut from standard 9 mm to become 10 mm) Note: The U2 Knee technique is designed for a standard 9 mm distal femoral resection when the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide is set to the "0" pin hole position. The femoral component has a 9 mm distal femoral implant thickness. If a different distal femoral resection level is required: The +2 mm or -2 mm holes may be utilized by shifting the Distal Femoral Cutting Guide . Alternatively, the +3 mm cutting slot may be used.
