Abstract: A system for preparing a femur to receive an implant includes a saw blade positionable in a first saw blade slot of a distal cutting block and operable to form an axial cut surface on the patient's femur. The saw blade carries on a first side thereof nominal A/P sizing indicia that increments negatively from an anterior top of concavity of the medial condyle to a posterior top of concavity of the medial condyle, when the saw blade is positioned on the axial cut surface of the patient's femur. The saw blade also carries nominal M/L sizing indicia on a second, opposing side of the saw blade. An A/P chamfer cutting block is positionable on the axial cut surface of the femur and is coupled to at least one rotational guide that rotationally orients the A/P chamfer cutting block relative to the patient's femur.

Abstract: A method of determining a size of a femoral component to be implanted in a patient, includes positioning a distal cutting block on a distal end of a patient's femur, the distal cutting block having a first saw blade slot associated therewith. A saw blade is positioned in the first saw blade slot and an axial cut surface is formed on the distal end of the patient's femur. At least a portion of the axial cut surface extends through the medial condyle. A maximum distance of the axial cut surface is measured across the medial condyle. A femoral component is selected based on the maximum distance measured.
