Abstract
A femur-first orthopaedic surgical procedure may include using a surgical navigation system to perform one or more initial measurements on a femur of a patient, a tibia of the patient, or both and to develop a surgical plan for the orthopaedic surgical procedure based on the one or more initial measurements, performing a first resection of the femur, using the surgical navigation system to perform one or more later measurements of the tibia that were inaccessible prior to the first resection of the femur and to confirm the surgical plan based on the one or more later measurements of the tibia, performing a tibial resection of the tibia based on a planned tibial resection plane of the surgical plan after confirming the surgical plan, and performing additional resections of the femur based on planned femoral resection planes of the surgical plan after confirming the surgical plan.
