Abstract

In an instrumentation for the production of fixing surfaces for fixing a knee joint endoprosthesis to the femoral condyle that is adjacent to the knee, and to the tibial head, provision is made for a rotary milling head, which is fixable in relation to the longitudinal axis of the femur and tibia, respectively, by fastening means and which, in relation to this longitudinal axis, is angularly adjustable in a stable stop position by being pivoted, defining milling planes, and which is displaceable in the set milling plane, covering same and working as a face milling cutter or as a cylindrical milling cutter.
