KNEE BALANCING BLOCK

摘要

An orthopedic A/P cutting guide device (10), including a cut guide member (20), a support member (40) and a positioning member (30) for permitting both (i) rotational, and (ii) translational movement after the A/P cutting guide device (10) has been attached to the distal femur by quick pins (150, 152) or other securing devices, is disclosed. Rotational movement may occur by loosening a knob (100) thereby releasing the positioning member (30) and the cut guide member (20) from the support member (40), which may be fixed in position by the quick pins (150, 152), and rotating the positioning member (30) and the cut guide member (20) together. Translational movement may occur by loosening a plurality of knobs (110, 112) thereby releasing the cut guide member (20) from the support member (40) and the positioning member (30), and moving the cut guide member (20) anteriorly or posteriorly. After the device (10) has been rotated and translated, the knobs may be tightened, thus securing the device from further movement.
