NEXGEN® COMPLETE KNEE SOLUTION Surgical Technique For Legacy ® Posterior Stabilized Knees INTRODUCTION The MICRO-MILL ® Instrumentation System has been designed to provide a simple, precise and reproducible technique with a number of options that offer the surgeon more choices and greater flexibility. In resecting the femoral and tibial surfaces to accept the prosthetic components, the surgeon can choose between the Milling Technique or the 5-in-1 Saw Blade Technique. In addition, implant flexibility offers the opportunity to switch from a cruciate retaining prosthesis to a posterior stabilized prosthesis quickly and easily. Both the milling and 5-in-1 saw blade procedures are designed to create smooth, accurate resected surfaces and precise knee alignment. The Milling Templates and the 5-in-1 Saw Guides attach to the same Femoral Mounting Bases, providing an accurate, reproducible reference for all femoral precision cuts. This helps avoid the inaccuracies that can be associated with multiple instrument setups and referencing resected surfaces. The result is more accurate and reproducible femoral resection, leading to improved femoral fit and more precise joint alignment. This surgical technique was developed in conjunction with: Alfred J. Tria, Jr., M.D. Clinical Associate Professor Division of Orthopaedics University of Medicine and Dentistry–New Jersey Robert Wood Johnson Medical School New Brunswick, NJ. 1 PREOPERATIVE PLANNING Use the template overlay (available through your Zimmer representative) to determine the angle between the anatomic axis and the mechanical axis. This angle will be reproduced intraoperatively. This surgical technique ensures
