Open the catalog to page 4Exposure The Gender Solutions PFJ instrumentation is compatible with MIS arthrotomies. Various exposures can be considered including medial parapatellar, lateral parapatellar, midvastus, subvastus, etc. Resection of the infrapatellar fat pad can facilitate exposure. During arthrotomy it is important to avoid inadvertently cutting the anterior horns of the menisci or intermeniscal ligament.
Open the catalog to page 5Surgical Technique Header Resect Patella Resect Patella • After selecting the appropriate Zimmer patellar system, one of the following options may be used to prepare the patella. - MIS Patella Resection Guide - Standard Patella Instruments - Patella Reamer System • Select the appropriate size patella which provides for the best support of the patella on the condyles after it transitions off of the trochlear component.
Open the catalog to page 6Mark Femoral Landmarks Surgical Technique Header Mark Femoral Landmarks • Mark the A/P axis (Whiteside’s line) from the lowest part of the trochlea to the highest part of the intercondylar notch (Fig1). • With a skin marker, mark a line perpendicular to the A/P axis (Fig2). Fig. 1 TECHNIQUE TIP Technique Tip: Alternatively, the transepicondylar axis may be used as reference. NOTE: These marks will serve as references in setting external rotation in subsequent steps. Fig. 2 Mark a line perpendicular to the A/P axis.
Open the catalog to page 7Surgical Technique Header Femoral Anterior Cut Femoral Anterior Cut 4.1 Drilling the IM Hole • Use the 6mm Intramedullary (IM) drill to drill the hole (Fig. 3). NOTE: Hole location is 10 mm anterior to the origin of the posterior cruciate ligament. 4.2 Assembling the Telescoping Boom to the IM Anterior Cut Guide • Unlock the Telescoping Boom by loosening the knurled knob. (Fig. 4). NOTE: The locking boom (00-5983-028-00) is compatible with the IM Anterior Cut Guide and is available separately. Fig.4 Unlock Telescoping Boom.

To provide additional clearance for the Telescoping Boom to clear the anterior femur during insertion, adjust the IM guide to the “open” position (turning adjustment knob on top of IM guide counter-clockwise). - If impaction is required, impact using the Inserter/...
Open the catalog to page 10Femoral Technique Header Surgical Anterior Cut 4.4 Setting External Rotation and Depth for Anterior Cut • Rotate the IM guide to the desired external rotation. - To align to the A/P axis, rotate the IM guide until the vertical reference lines on the guide are parallel with the A/P axis. - If using transepicondylar axis or line perpendicular to the A/P axis, rotate until the horizontal lines on the guide are parallel to the marked lines. (Fig. 10). TECHNIQUE TIP Fig. 10 Setting external rotation parallel to marked lines. Moving the knee closer to extension will improve visibility of the...
Open the catalog to page 11Surgical Technique Header Femoral Anterior Cut • Adjust A/P height of the cut guide by turning the IM guide adjustment knob until the boom tip just contacts the cortex (Fig. 12).
