Abstract
The invention relates to a surgical guide (') for implanting a knee prosthesis, advantageously capable of allowing the intraoperative balancing of the knee ligaments, comprising: a first component (G, G′) intended for uniquely coupling with the distal epiphyseal end (Ed) of a femur (Fe); a template (Gr, Gr′) rotatably mounted with respect to said first component (G, G′) and intended for guiding a marking operation of said distal epiphyseal end (Ed) aimed to determine the position of a knee prosthesis to be implanted; and a second component (G) intended for solidly coupling said template (Gr, Gr′) with a proximal epiphyseal end (Ep) of a tibia (Ti) corresponding to said femur (Fe).
