ALIGNMENT VERIFICATION NOTE: Verification possibilities: femur first, tibia first, femur only, tibia only. Position the cutting block in the required position using standard (intramedullary) instrumentation. Do not use more pins than required for preliminary fixation. Place the cutting block adapter in the saw blade slot, with the reflective marker spheres facing the camera. Perform femur registration by acquiring: Femoral head center Femoral mechanical axis Rotational references NOTE: Pressing the Clip-On Remote Control for a long time repeats entire registration. Check the displayed information and if required, adjust the femoral cutting block’s position and/or orientation. Repeat registration. Place the pointer on the distal condyles to measure the distance to the cutting slot as an indicator for the resection height.

• Position the cutting block in the required position using standard (extramedullary) instrumentation. Do not use more pins than required for preliminary fixation.

• Place the cutting block adapter in the saw blade slot, with the reflective marker spheres facing the camera.

Perform tibia registration by acquiring:• Malleolar points• Tibial mechanical axis• AP direction

• Check the displayed information and if required, adjust the tibial cutting block’s position and/or orientation.

• Repeat registration.

• Use the pointer to measure the distance from the tibial resection plane to the cutting slot as an indicator for the resection height.
