  • the head 42 In order to insert the head 42 into the chamfered slot 72, the head 42 must be fully assembled, such that the annular protrusion 50 of the locking element 48 of the head 42 is screwed into the fixed bore 44a of the fixed element 46, with the distal face 54 of the locking element 48 in contact with a proximal face 55 of the fixed element 46.

  • the diameter of the distal lip 75 of the chamfered slot 72 is less than the diameter of the head 42. Consequently, in order to pass into the slot 72, the head 42 must be fully assembled and oriented such that the reduced diameter region of the head 42, between the pairs of flat surfaces (60,62)a and (60,62)b, extends across the width (W) of the slot 72.
  • the head 42 may then enter the slot 72 and articulate within the confines of the internal walls 73 of the slot 72.

  • rotation of the locking element 48 relative to the fixed element 46 and main body 40 causes each pair of flat surfaces (60,62)a and (60,62)b to be moved out of alignment, such that the reduced diameter region of the head no longer exists.
  • the head 42 is thus prevented from exiting the slot 72.
  • Relative rotation of the fixed and locking elements 46, 48 also causes the locking element 48 to translate away from the fixed element 46, due to the action of the cooperating threads 52, 56.
  • This expansion of the head 42 causes the external surfaces of the fixed element and locking element 46, 48 to frictionally engage the internal walls 73 of the chamfered slot 72 and thus fix the position of the first cutting guide 8 relative to the support element 6.
  • the head When it is desired to remove the head 42 from the slot 72, the head is again fully assembled to create the reduced diameter region between the pairs of flat surfaces (60,62)a and (60,62)b, and is oriented such that the reduced diameter region extends across the width (W) of the slot 72. In this orientation, the head 42 may be removed from the slot 72.

  • the tibial pins are attached to the tibia in a spaced arrangement, one atop the other, and the jig 4 is then mounted on the pins by threading each pin through a respective pair of attachment holes 26, 28.
  • the attachment handle 31 In order to lock the jig 4 onto the pins, the attachment handle 31 is rotated, causing the attachment member 32 to translate towards the handle 31 , locking the pins between an engagement surface 94 of the attachment member 32 and the internal surfaces of the pairs of holes 26, 28.
  • the attachment member 32 and tibial pins thus function in the manner of a dovetail joint.

  • the locking element 48 of the head is rotated relative to the fixed element 46 of the head 42, thus expanding the head 42 and fixing the position of the first cutting guide 8 relative to the support element 6.
