A method and apparatus for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure on a femur includes attaching a proximal end of an intramedullary adaptor to an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument, securing a distal end of an intramedullary adaptor to a base cutting block, inserting the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument into a medullary canal using the base cutting block, and positioning the base cutting block on a distal end of the femur.

Method of assembling and positioning a femoral orthopaedic surgical instrument

A method for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure on a femur includes attaching a proximal end of an intramedullary adaptor to an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument, securing a distal end of an intramedullary adaptor to a base cutting block, inserting the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument into a medullary canal using the base cutting block, and positioning the base cutting block on a distal end of the femur.

An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly includes a base block, an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument configured to be inserted into a medullary canal of a patient's femur, an adaptor, and a modular cutting block. The base cutting block includes a slot, and the adaptor is positioned in the slot. The adaptor includes a mounting bracket engaged with the base plate, and a fastener coupled to the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument. The modular cutting block is configured to be secured to the base block.

Femoral orthopaedic surgical instruments and method of use of same

A method of surgically preparing a distal end of a femur for implantation of a femoral prosthetic component includes positioning a base cutting block and an intramedullary adaptor on the distal end of the femur such that a first end of the intramedullary adaptor is received in the medullary canal of the femur and the intramedullary adaptor is secured to the base cutting block, attaching a first modular cutting block to an anterior side of the base cutting block, resecting a first portion of the distal end of the femur using a cutting guide defined in the first modular cutting block, the cutting guide of the first modular cutting block, and resecting a second portion of the distal end of the femur using a base cutting guide defined in the base cutting block.
