Abstract
A distal femur multiple resection guide for attachment to a distal femur having a resected anterior surface and a resected distal surface, and for guiding a cutting tool. The multiple resection guide includes a block member having a distal femoral resection contact surface for placement against the resected distal surface of the distal femur; an arm member having an anterior resection contact surface for placement against the resected anterior surface of the distal femur; an anterior bevel cut guide on the block member for guiding the cutting tool to make an anterior bevel cut on the distal femur; a posterior bevel cut guide on the block member for guiding the cutting tool to make a posterior bevel cut on the distal femur; a posterior condyle cut guide on the block member for guiding the cutting tool to make a posterior condyle cut on the distal femur; and patellar track cut guide on the arm member for guiding the cutting tool to make a patellar track cut on the distal femur.
