Abstract
A chamfer resection guide assembly for a distal total knee implant has an anchor member for anchoring into a resected distal surface of a femur, a block member including one or more cutting guide slots for guiding a cutting tool for making chamfer resections and a camming member. The camming member operably connects the block member and the anchor member and the position of the block member with respect to the anchor member is adjusted by operation of the camming member thus allowing adjustment of the position of the cutting guide slots with respect to the anchoring member.
