11 | Persona The Personalized Knee Surgical TechniqueResect Distal Femur (cont.)Optional Instrument (cont.)Insert the resection guide into the cut slot of the cutguide to verify the depth of resection.Insert a trocar tipped pin through at least one of thelocking, or oblique, pin holes in the cut guide to furthersecure the cut guide to the femur (Figure 14).Using a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) oscillating saw bladethrough the cut slot in the cut guide, resect the distalfemur.Note: The flatness of the distal femoral resectionis critical to ensuring adequate contact betweenthe porous femoral implant and the bone. If usinga porous femoral implant, evaluate the flatness ofthe resection prior to sizing and modify the cut asnecessary so that it is completely flat.Remove all pins and the cut guide.Optional Cutting TechniqueIf desired, the bone resection can be made from thetop (most distal) surface of the cut guide (Figure 15a).The top surface of the cut guide is 4 mm from the cutslot. Therefore, if cutting from the top surface, theposition of the cut guide must be adjusted by movingthe cut guide from the trocar tipped pins throughthe ‘0’ holes and reinserting the cut guide onto thetrocar tipped pins through the holes marked ‘+4’(Figure 15b). Insert a trocar tipped pin through at leastone of the locking, or oblique, pin holes in the cutguide to further secure the cut guide to the femur priorto cutting the femur.Figure 14Figure 15bFigure 15aPersona 0° Distal Cut Guide42-5099-010-003.2 mm x 75 mm Trocar Tipped Drill Pin(2.5 mm hex)00-5901-020-00Pin Screw Inserter00-5901-021-00Resection Guide00-5977-084-00Multi Pin Puller00-5901-022-00
