An arrangement and method in the preparation of the distal femur and posterior femoral condyle proximal surfaces of the femur for the femoral component of a prosthetic knee joint
An arrangement for providing the proximal surface of the distal end of the femur and the posterior femoral condyle of the femur for a femoral component of a prosthetic knee joint, said arrangement including an alignment clamp mountable to the femur such that a vertical arm of the alignment clamp includes user operable lateral adjustable extension tabs and a horizontal arm of the alignment clamp that includes user-operable height adjustable extension tabs wherein the lateral and height adjustable tabs engage with a front plate and a base plate which define out reference planes and/or an axis that can be used in establishing the alignment for the definitive resection cuts to the distal end of the femur and the posterior femoral condyle of the femur.
