First Claim
1. Apparatus for distal femur sizing and resection comprising:
- a sizer member;
an anterior femoral cut guide movably engaged with the sizer member;
retaining guides extending from the femoral cut guide;
a slide member movably mounted on the retaining guides; and
a first member and a second member sequentially removably attachable to the femoral cut guide, the first member being a reference device attached to the femoral cut guide for referencing, and the second member being a distal cut guide attachable to the femoral cut guide subsequent to removal of the reference device, to position the distal cut guide on the femur.

Abstract
Apparatus for distal femur sizing and resection includes a sizer member and a platform pivotably connected to the sizer member. An anterior femoral cut guide is movably engaged with the sizer member and includes a first retainer for retaining a removable reference device for referencing, and a second retainer for retaining a removable distal cut guide subsequent to removal of the reference device to position the distal cut guide on the femur. Retaining guides extend from the femoral cut guide. A slide member is movably mounted on the retaining guides. The slide member includes a carriage member, and a plunger resiliently mounted in the carriage, and movable for retaining the slide member on the retaining guides.
