ABSTRACT:
A cutting block includes a body having at least three sections spaced in the anterior-posterior direction. Each section has a proximally facing surface for being placed adjacent to the distally facing surface of the femur. The block includes a distally facing surface with a rib connecting the at least three sections. The rib extends outwardly from the distally facing surface of each of the sections of the cutting block. The rib spaces the sections to form a guide slot between adjacent sections for receiving a saw blade. The rib has a proximally facing surface spaced distally of the distal surface of the cutting block adjacent the slots.
