摘要：: A femoral sizing jig 10 for use in total arthroplasty of left and right knees, comprises a femoral body 12, an external-rotation-angle arm 14 which is, preferably pivotable, relative to the femoral body 12 for setting an external angular rotation of a left or right femur, at least one of a cutting-jig guide 16 and a cutting jig which is, preferably slidable, relative to the femoral body 12 and in unison with movement of the external Ârotation angle arm 14, and a medial posterior condylar locator 18 which is movable in unison with the movement of the external-rotation-angle arm 14, so as to maintain a fixed or substantially fixed relative distance with a medial side of the at least one of a cutting-jig guide and a cutting jig. A posterior-referencing femur resecting system and a method of resecting a femur 24 at a knee joint relative to the medial posterior condyle both using said femoral sizing jig 10 are also provided.
