A ligament tensor and distal femoral resector guide includes an adjustable support member for mounting on a tibial cutting guide including a guide slot in which is reciprocably mounted a slide member having an arm extending outward therefrom for engaging the condylar notch between the femoral condyles and a screw member threadably engaging the slide member for adjusting the position of the slide member and arm relative to the tibia cutting guide head for establishing tension in the ligaments of a knee structure. A flat pressure plate is removably mounted in the slots of the tibia cutting guide head for engaging the sectioned tibia plateau for applying pressure to the tibia for tensioning of the ligaments. A cutting guide head for guiding the resection of distal femoral condyles is mounted on the adjustable support member.
