ABSTRACT:
Instrumentation is provided for forming a cavity in the distal femur and for using that cavity as a reference for making exterior distal cuts of the femoral bone. At least a part of the walls of the cavity are formed by the cortical (hard) bone of the femur. In addition to its use in cutting the exterior bone, the cavity also serves to affix a femoral knee prosthesis to the femoral bone.
