• Appropriated Tibial Cutting Block 5° (RM/LL or LM/RL); • Tibial Resection Stylus; • Tibial EM Guide Ankle Clamp; • Tibial EM Guide Slope Adjuster; • Tibial EM Guide Height Adjuster; • Tibial EM Guide Cutting Block Connection.

Insert the Tibial EM Guide Height Adjuster into the EM Guide Slope Adjuster. (Fig. 4)
