ABSTRACT:
A surgical jig for orienting a femoral component of a prosthetic knee prosthesis angularly with respect to the axis of the patient's femur which jig utilizes a single drill plate or guide for condylar pins, but permits variation in the placement of those pins. The jig comprises a distal plate which is placed against the distal end of the femur. The distal plate has two condyle fingers for grasping the posterior side of the femoral condyles. Gage means are provided to measure the size of the distal end of the femur. A rotatable drill guide permits the surgeon to adjust the placement of two drill bores for receiving condyle pins on a femoral component of a knee prosthesis.
