Anterior marking of the condyle

The knee is extended, then the tibial anterior contour is projected on the condyle in view to be defined and mar- ked with an electric scalpel steinmann pins may be fitted to facilitate the surgical approach.

The femoral time

Then, reconstitute the curve of the femoral condyle, eliminate the degenerative cartilage of the anterior marking zone of the posterior femoral condyle. Using an oscillating saw, cut flush by several millimeters the cartilage to the sub-condyle bone. This operating time will enable good adaptation of resection guides.

Determination of the femoral condyle size

The size of the condyle is estimated using a gauge. The gauge will be perfectly centered on the condyle. The anterior edge of the guide is applied against the anterior mark made with the electric scalpel.
