A device for localizing and executing resection cuts on the femur ( ) for preparing an implantation of a total endoprosthetic knee joint is provided. The device includes a reference device ( ) adapted to be releasably attachable to the femur ( ) in the distal area of the femur ( ). Alignment of the reference device ( ) relative to the femur ( ) should be accurately positionable. An adjustment device ( ) is connected to the reference device ( ). The adjustment device ( ) is movable relative to the reference device ( ) and is provided with a linearly movable base part ( ) for the attachment of an instrument ( ). A first drive device ( ) linearly moves the adjustment device ( ) relative to the reference device ( ) in the direction ( ) of a first axis (X) of a system of coordinates (X, Y, Z). A second drive device ( ) linearly moves the base part ( ) in the direction ( ) of another, second axis (Y) of said system of coordinates (X, Y, Z). Both the first and second drive devices ( ) include a motor drive.
