PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for performing knee arthroplasty, including methods and apparatus useful for the total knee arthroplasty (TKA), such as bicruciate ligament retaining knee arthroplasty.SOLUTION: A method and apparatus for performing knee arthroplasty, including, but not limited to, bicruciate ligament retaining knee arthroplasty, are described herein. A method and apparatus for preparing a distal femur for a femoral implant as well as a method and apparatus for preparing a proximal tibia for a tibial implant are described. These method and apparatus, in at least some embodiments and uses, facilitate decreasing the complexity of knee arthroplasty procedures such as bicruciate ligament retaining procedures, while maintaining, if not improving on, the safety, accuracy and/or effectiveness of such procedures. |
