Femoral Preparation

Femoral Sizing
Size the femur using the femoral sizing guide. It may be necessary to flex the knee to position the posterior paddles on the sizing guide. (Figure 11)

For the correct size assessment, place the stylus tip on the provisional anterior cut, read the size indicated by the line across the stylus shaft (not the retention pin) and choose the smaller size if between two sizes.
