Abstract
An intramedullary tibia alignment system includes an alignment rod, a tibial resection guide and a tibial alignment jig. The tibial alignment jig has a sliding rail, a casing slidably receiving the sliding rail and being attached to the alignment rod, and a user adjustment element rotatably held by the alignment rod. The user adjustment element is functionally connected to the casing by a link element such that a rotation is converted into a pivoting movement. The user adjustment element and the alignment rod are adapted to interlock with each other at a plurality of rotational positions of the user adjustment element. The plurality of rotational positions correspond to different orientations of the alignment rod in accordance with the pivoting movement of the alignment rod.
