Step 4 | Femoral Sizing
TECHNIQUE TIP. Be sure that there is no soft tissue or remaining osteophytes between the Femoral Cutting Guide and the distal cut. It is important that the Femoral Cutting Guide sits flush against the bone. Any gaps between the guide and the bone will compromise the accuracy of the cuts and, subsequently, component fit may be compromised. Do not allow the patella to cause improper alignment of the guide. The patella may move the Femoral Cutting Guide medially in a medial UKA. (Figs. 31/32/33 - too small / too large / correct size)
