Note: Each line increment on the elevator rod
measures 2 mm.
5. Set the resection level in accordance with the
standard surgical technique.
6. Ensure that the Tibial Cut Guide is well seated on
the anterior contour of the tibia (i.e. medial side of
the Tibial Cut Guide must be in contact with the
tibia).
7. Lock the Tibial Cut Guide in place by hand-
tightening the blue screw on the Tibial Adjustment
Mechanism.
8. Secure the Tibial Cut Guide onto the tibia by
inserting a 3.2 mm Headless Trocar Drill Pin in the
medial hole.
9. Further stabilize the Tibial Cut Guide onto the tibia
by inserting a 3.2 mm Headless Trocar Drill Pin in
the lateral hole.
Warning: The fasteners used to secure the
Tibial Cut Guide to the bone must be inserted
carefully to avoid perforating the second cortex
and to avoid potential interference with the
screws used to secure the Tibial Adjustment
Mechanism.
Note: Alternatively, a 3.5 x 38 mm Hex Head
Screw can be inserted in the medial hole
instead of the 3.2 mm Headless Trocar Drill Pin.
When using a 3.5 x 38 mm Hex Head Screw,
the screw must only be inserted halfway as to
avoid movement of the Tibial Cut Guide.
10. Remove the stylus.
