PHYSICA ZUK SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Step 5 | Finishing the Femur

The colour code on the pin holes indicates the maximum screw length to be used without interference with the cuts.

2. Insert the orange coloured 35 mm Headed Screw into the angled anterior pin hole, which is parallel to the chamfer cut. (Fig. 37) 3. Insert a 35 mm or 50 mm headed screw into the side pin hole. (Fig. 37 inset) 4. Insert the Femoral Drill into the anterior hole and drill the peg hole. Remove the drill. For increased stability place the Femoral Holding Peg into the anterior peg hole before drilling the posterior peg hole. (Fig. 38). NOTE. Do not attempt to insert or align the drill bit while the drill is in motion. When the proper alignment is achieved, drill the anterior peg hole.

Drill the posterior hole in the same manner. (Fig. 39) The hole is at the same angle as the anterior hole.
