the resection guide positioned for an anterior femoral resection, and showing a bone
resection tool for making an anterior femoral resection of the distal femur. Figure 13 is
a somewhat diagrammatic transverse sectional view of a Figure 12 with portions thereof
omitted for clarity. Figure 14 is a somewhat diagrammatic lateral view of a distal femur
having an intramedullary rod implanted therein, showing an anterior femoral resection
thereof. Figure 15 is a somewhat diagrammatic lateral view of a distal femur having an
intramedullary rod implanted therein, combined with an instrument body, a valgus
module and a resection guide of the instrumentation of the White's invention with the
resection guide positioned for a distal femoral resection. Figure 16 is a somewhat
diagrammatic anterior view of Figure 15. Figure 17 is a somewhat diagrammatic
anterior sectional view of Figure 15 with portions thereof omitted for clarity. Figure 18 is
a somewhat diagrammatic lateral sectional view of Figure 15 with portions thereof
omitted, and showing a bone resection tool for making a distal femoral resection of the
distal femur. Figure 19 is a somewhat diagrammatic lateral view of a distal femur after
an anterior femoral resection thereof, showing a distal femoral resection thereof.
White's instrumentation 11 is used in conjunction with a distal femur 13 and a
bone resection tool 15 such as a typical oscillating saw or the like having a bone
resection member 16 such as a saw blade or the like to make a distal femoral cut or
resection 17 by removing a thickness or amount of bone from the distal aspect or
