Femoral Component

The patellar groove is extended so that in flexion,
when the stresses on the patella are the highest, the
patella will articulate along its entire profile, providing
large surface area contact between the femur and
patella. This is intended to reduce wear on the patella
flanges in high degrees of flexion. The patellar groove

For cemented components - Encore recommends
PMMA based bone cement.

The femoral component has a 9mm distal and
posterior thickness in order to conserve the amount
of bone removed from the femur, and maintain equal
flexion and extension gaps. The femur is made of CoCr,
which was chosen for its superior wear characteristics,
and is available in both porous and non-porous
versions.

The metal baseplate designs utilize modular inserts
resulting in 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and 19mm
thicknesses.

The Foundation Femoral Component was designed as
a primary total condylar knee replacement. The main
objectives of the femoral component are to resurface
the distal femur with minimum bone removal and
to provide sound articulating surface geometry for
both the condylar and patellar articulations, all with
minimum interference to surrounding soft tissue. By
designing to these objectives, the Foundation Femoral
Component can aid in reestablishing anatomical
alignment and normal knee kinematics, and restoring
function to the knee.

2) a porous coated stemmed metal baseplate,

Common to each of the four types of tibial 2
components in the system is an asymmetrical tibial
profile. This feature is indicative of the an atomical
shape of the tibial plateau and, therefore, maximizes
coverage while minimizing baseplate overhang which
may adversely affect surrounding soft tissue. All
designs also have a posterior notch for retaining the
posterior cruciate ligament.

depth, which is designed to provide full surface
contact with the patella in flexion, decreases gradually
with extension as loads diminish. In addition, the
patellar groove is set at a 6° angle to replicate normal
anatomy.
The Foundation Femoral Component comes
in six sizes and in lefts and rights to provide for
versatility in matching the patient’s anatomy. Each
femoral component size can be used with each size
Foundation Tibial Component. The dimensions of the
femoral components are illustrated below:

Tibial Design
Each of the tibial designs offers features unique to
their specific application.
Stemmed Baseplate, Porous and Non-Porous:
• Keeled Stem: The stem has a rounded anterior face
that matches the endosteal anatomy of the anterior
tibia to avoid impingement with endosteal bone. The
wings of the keel angle back posteriorly to support
the baseplate under the condylar bearing surface of
the tibial plateau adding strength to the baseplate
as well as rotational stability. These wings also place
the stem in the strongest bone on the tibial plateau,
thus optimizing the resistance to rotational forces.
• Four Screw Holes: There are currently four screw
holes in the porous stemmed baseplate for use with
Encore 6.5mm cancellous bone screws to enhance
fixation.
• Coatings: The stemmed baseplate is offered in
porous coated and non-porous coated versions.

Stemmed All-Poly Tibia:
• Five Thicknesses: 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and
19mm.
• Keeled Stem: The stem shape is a winged-keel with
a rounded anterior face that contours anatomically
with the anterior tibial endosteal bone. The wings
angle back posteriorly into the strongest bone in the
tibia to provide rotational stability.
• Cement Grooves: Grooves placed on the inferior
surface of the component enhance cement fixation.
• Normalization Steps: Normalization steps on the
stem optimize cement compression.
• Material: UHMWPE
Resurfacing Baseplate:
• Four Pegs: The four pegs on the distal surface of the
component provide rotational stability.
• Two Screw Holes: Two screw holes on the distal
surface of the component can be used with Encore
6.5mm cancellous bone screws to enhance fixation of
the component to the tibial plateau. The screw holes
are located over the condylar bearing region of the
tibial plateau where the bone is the strongest.
• Coating: The resurfacing baseplate is porous coated.
• Material: Ti6Al4V.

Patellar Components

Modular Tibial Inserts

The Foundation Patellar Components come in a resurfacing and
recessing version, as well as a porous coated metal backed version.
The profile for all of the Foundation Patellar Components mates
with the geometry of the patellar groove on the Foundation Femoral
Component to optimize the contact area between the patella and
the femoral component. Foundation Patellar Components utilize the
same instrumentation. All three styles of patellas are available in 5
diameters (26mm, 29mm, 32mm, 35mm, and 38mm).

The Foundation Primary Tibial Insert comes in 6 sizes and is made of
ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Each insert
size is offered in 5 standard thicknesses, resulting in tibial assemblies
of 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and 19mm. The minimum thickness for
the 9mm insert is 6.0mm (the label for the insert thickness refers
to the overall thickness of the insert/baseplate assembly). The tibial
inserts are neutral in orientation. That is, they do not come in lefts
and rights. This unique combination provides the advantages of an
asymmetrical tibial coverage without the excessive insert inventory
usually seen when including this design feature.
The articulating geometry of the tibial insert is semi-constrained.
The advantages of a semiconstrained tibial profile may include an
increase in contact area with the conforming femoral component, as
well as an increase in posterior shear stability. The Foundation Knee
has been designed to withstand forces that surpass the maximum
posterior shear forces reported during the normal gait cycle. This
design feature is not common to most of the contemporary knee
designs on the market, and may provide a safety mechanism in the
event of a deficient posterior cruciate ligament.
The tibial baseplate and insert assemble via a sound locking
mechanism, which utilizes posterior feet and a three-segment
anterior snap on the inside wall of the baseplate. In addition, the
inserts are secured with a self-locking attachment screw which will
provide further security to the baseplate/insert assembly.
The central eminence on the tibial insert is uniquely designed to
provide 10 to 15 degrees of rotation with every size combination of
femoral and tibial components. Each primary insert has a posterior
notch cut out for a retained posterior cruciate ligament. In addition,
when using the PCL retaining option, any size femoral component
can be utilized with any size tibial component.
Trials are available for the tibial inserts and are color coded for easy
reference intraoperatively. The color codes are illustrated below:

To enhance fixation, three pegs are present on the inferior surface
of the patella. The shape of the patella is a symmetrical flange to
improve patellar contact with the femoral condyles, particularly at
high angles of flexion. The symmetrical geometry by nature requires
no rotational alignment in reference to the femoral component and
allows the three pegs to be placed in the optimum position. All-poly
versions of the Foundation Patella have grooves on the inferior
surface of the patella as well as on the pegs to enhance cement
fixation. Trials are available for the tibial inserts and are color coded
for easy reference intraoperatively.

PCL Substituting (P.S.) Design Considerations
P.S. Femoral Component
The Foundation Femoral P.S. Component was designed as a primary
posterior cruciate substituting component. The main objectives
of the femoral component are to resurface the distal femur with
minimum bone removal while inducing posterior rollback and
providing resistance to posterior subluxation, functions that are
normally present when the posterior cruciate ligament is intact.
The P.S. Femoral Component is also designed to provide sound
articulating surface geometry for both the condylar and patellar
articulations, all with minimum interference to surrounding soft
tissue. By designing to these objectives, the Foundation P.S. Femoral
Component can aid in reestablishing anatomical alignment, normal
knee kinematics, and restoration of function.

Design Rationale
Foundation® Total Knee

Modular P.S. Tibial Insert
The modular Foundation P.S. Tibial Insert, made of UHMWPE, is
designed to work with the Foundation Stemmed Tibial Components
to complete the P.S. option of the Foundation Total Knee System.
The primary objectives considered in the design of the tibial inserts
are providing a smooth articulating surface for the P.S. Femoral
Component, optimizing contact area and providing the required
motion of the femoral component on the tibia. In addition, the tibial
spine is designed to restore the function of posterior rollback while
preventing posterior subluxation of the tibia. The P.S. insert meets
these objectives along with providing a sound modular attachment
of the insert to the tibial component.

P.S. Femoral Component
The distal and posterior thicknesses of the femoral component are
each 9mm. This thickness was chosen to conserve the amount of
bone removed from the femur and to ensure that the flexion and
extension gaps remain equal. The femoral component is made of
CoCr, which was chosen for its superior wear characteristics. The
Foundation P.S. Femoral Component is manufactured with a highly
polished finish on all exterior/articulating surfaces. The interior
surfaces have a roughened-blasted surface to enhance cement
fixation.

The Foundation P.S. Tibial Insert comes in 6 sizes corresponding to
the baseplate sizes. Each size is offered in 5 thicknesses, resulting in
tibial assembly thicknesses of 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, 15mm and 19mm.
The minimum poly thickness on the 9mm insert is 6.0mm. (The
insert thickness refers to the overall thickness of the insert/baseplate
assembly.) The tibial inserts are neutral in orientation. That is, they
do not come in lefts and rights. This unique combination provides
the advantages of asymmetrical tibial coverage offered by the tibial
baseplate without the massive insert inventory usually seen when
including this design feature.

The patellar groove of the Foundation P.S. Femoral Component is
deepened to minimize advancement of the patellar mechanism,
which can inhibit flexion. The deepened patella groove aims to allow
the patella to be returned to its anatomical position, which in turn
seeks to encourage full flexion and also provide increased stability
to the patellar component in resistance to lateral subluxation or
dislocation. The patellar groove is set at a 6° angle to replicate
normal anatomy. The patellar groove depth is designed to provide
full surface contact with the patella in flexion and to decrease
gradually with extension as loads diminish.
The P.S. Femoral Component comes in 6 sizes and in lefts and rights
to provide for versatility in matching the patient’s anatomy. Size
compatibility allows for going up and down one size when matching
a P.S. tibial insert with a P.S. femoral component. For example, a size
6 femoral component can be used with a size 4, 6 or 8 tibial insert
only. The sizing and interchangeability are illustrated to the right.
The cam/spine geometry is designed to induce rollback of 7-16mm,
depending on the size, and allows +/-15° of internal/external rotation.
The femoral cam is designed to engage the tibial spine at 60° flexion
and to allow for 130° of flexion.
The femoral instrumentation for the Foundation cruciate retaining
femoral component is the same as for the Foundation P.S. Femoral
Component. Only one additional step is needed to prepare the femur
for the P.S. Femoral Component. This one extra step is accomplished
with a box cutting guide and chisel or 1/2” blade, which along with
the trials are the only instrumentation additions necessary to the
primary knee instruments for implanting a Foundation P.S. Knee. The
box height on the femoral component is 15mm and the box width is
22mm.
The box on the femoral component is open. The advantage to
an open box is to provide access to the femoral canal in case of
traumatic injury requiring a femoral rod.

The tibial baseplate and insert assemble via a sound locking
mechanism that utilizes posterior feet and a three-segment anterior
snap on the inside wall of the baseplate. In addition, a self-locking
attachment screw is used that provides further security to the
baseplate/insert assembly. The pathway for the attachment screw
assembly is straight through the tibial spine into the baseplate
providing ideal resistance to any potential tilting forces placed on the
insert/baseplate assembly.
The tibial spine is 8mm higher than the femoral cam at full flexion.
The significance of the spine height at full flexion is the amount
of tibial spine to be “jumped” by the femoral component to cause
dislocation of the femur.
As an alternative, an Ultra-Congruent tibial insert is available as PCL
substituting insert option to be used with the PCL retaining femur.
This insert is a deep-dish design with a 12mm anterior lip height.
This high anterior lip helps prevent tibia subluxation in the case of
an absent or resected PCL. These inserts are available in 5 standard
thicknesses, resulting in tibial assemblies of 9mm, 11mm, 13mm,
15mm, and 19mm. These inserts will stabilize the knee in the absence
of the PCL, and provide the full range of motion without the need to
remove more femoral bone, as is standard with more conventional
P.S. systems.
Trials are available for the tibial inserts and are color coded for easy
reference intraoperatively. The color codes are illustrated to the right.

Foundation® Total Knee

Minimally Invasive Surgical Exposure

Preoperative Planning

Sufficient surgical exposure is critical in total knee
arthroplasty. Adequate exposure allows bony
landmarks, component alignment and soft tissue
evaluation to be assessed more thoroughly and can,
therefore, contribute to more successful results.

Use a long-standing radiograph to evaluate the
angle between the mechanical axis of the leg and the
anatomic axis of the femur. The normal mechanical
axis is formed by a straight line which begins at the
center of the femoral head, passes through the center
of the knee joint and ends at the center of the ankle.
The mechanical axis will not be normal in the face of
femoral, tibial, or joint space deformities. With this in
mind, take care to reconstruct the normal mechanical
axis on the radiograph. The angle measured between
this normal mechanical axis and the axis of the femur
will determine which of the IM Femoral Bushings
should be used with the Distal Femoral Resection
Guide (5°, 7°, or 9°) to obtain a distal femoral cut which
will be perpendicular to the mechanical axis of the
joint (Figure 1). The goal of this preoperative planning
exercise is to restore the normal mechanical axis of
the leg and create a joint plane which is parallel to
the floor, while sacrificing minimal bone stock and
maximizing collateral ligament balance following
reconstruction.

Make a longitudinal medial parapatellar skin incision.
The incision should begin approximately 6cm above
the most proximal portion of the patella and extending
approximately 2cm below the tibial tubercle (Figure
2). Enter the knee joint through a medial parapatellar
joint capsule incision and carry the incision proximally
into the quadriceps tendon. Continue the capsular
incision inferiorly to the medial side of the tibial
tubercle to allow sufficient patellar exposure and
adequate knee flexion (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Complete meniscectomy is essential for obtaining
optimum exposure of the posterior tibia and also aids
in restoring collateral ligament balance. Likewise,
removing osteophytes from the intercondylar
notch aids in identifying accurate placement of
the femoral intramedullary drill hole. Removing all
periarticular osteophytes on both the femoral and
tibial sides should reduce the possibility of soft tissue
impingement and provide the best conditions for
accurate implant sizing.

Templates for the Foundation Total Knee System are
available to aid in preoperative implant sizing.

Distal Femoral Resection
Fix the position of the cutting block by drilling two
holes through the holes marked “0” and placing pins
through the holes into the femur. Holes placed in
2mm increments above and below the holes marked
“0”, allow for readjustment of the cutting block to
remove more or less bone as determined necessary.
A general guideline for the distal femoral resection is
to remove an amount of bone that results in the saw
blade passing near or at the depth of the intercondylar
notch. Due to anatomical differences between
patients, a distal resection of 11mm is not uncommon.

Open The Femoral Canal
Using the IM Femoral Drill Guide and the 8mm (5/16
inch) IM Femoral Drill, locate and drill a pilot hole into the
intramedullary femoral canal (Figure 5). The inferior edge
of this hole should be positioned approximately 1-2mm
anterior to the intercondylar notch. Placement of the hole
too anterior will result in a femoral component position
that is in relative extension with respect to the long
axis of the femur. In contrast, placement of the hole too
posterior or close to the apex of the intercondylar notch
will result in a femoral component position which is in
relative flexion compared to the long axis of the femur.

Loosen the securing knob, remove the Distal Femoral
Resection Guide, and attach the Saw Capture to the
cutting block. Using a saw blade that is 1mm thick
(.040 inches) and an oscillating saw, cut the distal
femur (Figure 7).

Insert the T-Handle IM Rod into the pilot hole created by
the IM Femoral Drill. Slowly introduce the rod beyond the
depth of the pilot hole until it passes through the isthmus
of the femoral canal.

Femoral Sizing: Posterior Reference

Figure 5

Establish Femoral Alignment
Select the appropriate Femoral IM Bushing (5°, 7°, or 9°),
based on the preoperative measurement of valgus for the
distal cut, and lock the bushing into the Distal Femoral
Resection Guide. The bushing should indicate the proper
setting for a left or right knee with appropriate “L” and “R”
markings on the bushing facing anteriorly.
Assemble the T-Handle IM Rod into the bushing selected
and insert the assembly into the femoral canal. The feet
on the Distal Femoral Resection Guide should be flush
with the back side of the guide by turning the knobs on
the front surface of the guide counterclockwise until the
knobs stop. Once the guide is placed in contact with the
femur, one of the feet can be extended to contact the
femur and provide increased stability of the instrument.
Take care not to extend the feet so far that the instrument
is lifted off the distal end of the femur. This will result in an
inaccurate distal resection.
Secure the Distal Femoral Cutting Block at the 9mm
resection line on the indicator bar (the block will click
into this setting as the block slides along the indicator
bar). Line markings, placed in 2mm increments along the
indicator bar, allow for readjustment of the cutting block
to remove more or less bone (Figure 6).
Holes for the External Alignment Tower are present on
the Distal Femoral Cutting Block so that an External
Alignment Rod may be used to assess alignment prior to
making the distal femoral cut. Proper alignment should
result in the rod passing over the center of the femoral
head.

Seat the Femoral Sizer on the distal femur using the
sizer feet to reference the posterior condyles. Position
the stylus tip on the lateral aspect of the anterior
cortex of the femur and read the measurement
indicator to determine the appropriate size femoral
component (Figure 8). For measurements falling less
than half way between sizes select the smaller size,
for measurements falling more than half way between
sizes select the larger size. Markings are also available
on the medial and lateral arms of the sizer to indicate
the M-L width of each size femoral component and
to aid in the proper medial-lateral positioning of the
femoral component.

Place the appropriate Femoral Peg Bushing (3º or
neutral), in the face of the Femoral Sizer. The 3º
Femoral Peg Bushing will orient the peg holes at 3º
of external rotation for either a left or right femur
as indicated on the bushing. Externally rotating the
femoral component will help improve patella tracking,
as the natural position of the patella is slightly lateral
in extension to slightly medial in flexion. The “3º L” and
“3º R” markings should always be right side up when
the bushing is in place. An upside down bushing will
result in the holes being prepared incorrectly (Figure
9). Hold the Femoral Peg Bushing in place and drill two
holes for the femoral pegs using the 6.4mm (1/4 inch)
drill marked “Femoral Peg” (Figure 10).

4-in-1 Speed Blocks
Place the appropriate size 4-in-1 Speed Cut Block on
the distal femur. Quick Lock Handles can be attached
to the block for stabilization. As an alternative, the
block may be pinned in place using the 3” Bone Pins.
Make the anterior cut, posterior cut, and anterior and
posterior chamfer cuts using an oscillating saw and a
1mm thick saw blade (Figure 13).

Femoral Sizing: Anterior Reference
Seat the Femoral Sizer on the distal femur using the
sizer feet to reference the posterior condyles. Allow
the anterior portion of the guide to float with the
stylus tip until it is positioned on the lateral aspect of
the anterior cortex of the femur. Secure the stylus tip
in the correct position by tightening the Stylus Locking
Knob. Turn the knurled Actuation Knob down until
it is flush with the Stylus Locking Knob and read the
measurement indicator to determine the appropriate
size femoral component (Figure 11). For measurements
falling less than half way between sizes, select the
smaller size; for measurements falling more than half
way between sizes, select the larger size. Markings are
also available on the medial and lateral arms of the
sizer to indicate the M-L width of each size femoral
component. Use these markings to properly position
the component medial-lateral on the femur.
Place the appropriate femoral peg bushing (3º or
neutral) for the size to be used into the face of the
anterior sizer. The 3º Femoral Bushings will orient the
peg holes at 3º of external rotation for either a left
or right femur as indicated on each bushing. The “3º
L” and “3º R” markings should always be right side up
when the bushing is in place. An upside down bushing
will result in the holes being prepared incorrectly. Hold
the Femoral Peg Bushing in place and drill two holes
for the femoral pegs using the 6.4mm (1/4 inch) drill
marked “Femoral Peg” (Figure 12).

A-P and Chamfer Blocks

If the speed block has been used as described in Figure
13, place the appropriate size 1-Piece Trochlear Groove
Guide in place on the distal femur (the size of the
guide should match that of the 4-in-1 Speed Cut Block
used). Ream the trochlear groove area with the drill
marked “Trochlear” (Figure 14). To facilitate reaming,
take care to balance the drill through the guide and
initiate reaming prior to engaging the bone.

Place the appropriate size Femoral A-P Cut Block
on the distal femur. Attach the Saw Capture to the
anterior surface of the block and make the anterior cut
using an oscillating saw and a 1mm saw blade (Figure
15). Reposition the Saw Capture to the posterior
surface of the block to make the posterior cut.
Place the appropriate size Femoral Chamfer Cut
Block on the distal femur. Attach the Saw Capture to
the anterior surface of the block. Make the anterior
chamfer cut. Reposition the Saw Capture to the
posterior surface of the block to make the posterior
chamfer cut (Figure 16).
With the chamfer block still in place, attach the
Trochlear Drill Guide to the anterior surface of
the chamfer block, and ream the trochlear groove
area with the drill marked “Trochlear” (Figure 17).
To facilitate reaming, take care to balance the drill
through the guide and initiate reaming prior to
engaging the bone.

Axial Alignment Confirmation
After anchoring the resection guide to the tibia, as
described above, assess the position of the guide
relative to the anterior tibial crest. In the absence of
tibia vara, palpation of the tibial crest will reveal it to
be truly parallel to the resection guide. With normal
tibia vara, palpation of the crest should revel that the
crest position lies just lateral to the guide proximally,
just medial to the guide in the midportion, and just
lateral to the guide distally. A deviation from this
position may require readjustment of the resection
guide. If the guide is aligned properly.

Tibial Alignment
Option One: Extramedullary Tibial Guide
Rotational Alignment
Adjust the overall length of the Extramedullary Tibial
Resection Guide to the appropriate tibial length.
Lightly anchor the proximal end of the resection guide
onto the central tibial plateau by tapping in the long
pin. Strap the ankle spring around the ankle to provide
stability of the instrument distally. Establish rotational
alignment by positioning the center of the T-shaped
Tibial Cut Block just medial to the tibial tubercle and
lightly anchor the short pin into the tibial plateau
(Figure 18). Do not fully seat the short pin. A secondary
rotational alignment check can be accomplished by
placing a 3.2mm pin through the appropriate hole in
the apex of the Ankle Cradle. Proper alignment should
result in the pin running through a plane parallel to the
transmalleolar axis (Figure 19).

Figure 18

Tibial Slope Adjustment
Adjust the height of the Tibial Cutting Block so that
the cutting surface is slightly above the tibial plateau.
Place a 3.2mm drill bit through one of the most
proximal holes in the Tibial Cutting Block so that it
extends over the articular surface. Adjust the slope on
the cutting block by sliding the Extramedullary Tube
along the length of the Ankle Bar until the axis of the
pin runs parallel with the surface of the tibial plateau
(Figure 20).
Once rotational alignment and slope have been
established, refer back to the proximal end of the
resection guide and fully seat the pins in the tibial
plateau.

The most common malposition of the guide is varus;
e.g. palpation of the crest shows the crest position
slightly lateral to alignment guide proximally, directly
behind the guide along the mid-tibia, and medial to
guide distally. To correct this condition, follow the
instructions outlined in step #7 for anchoring the Tibial
Cut Block in place against the anterior tibia. Using
the same pins that were used to anchor the Tibial
Cut Block, secure the 2° Varus / Valgus Cut Block in
place. This cutting block will provide a cutting surface
that will correct the malalignment by 2° (Figure 21).
The 2° Varus / Valgus Cut Block can be fitted with
the Alignment Tower and External Alignment Rod to
verify the correction. Attach the Saw Capture to the
cutting block and use an oscillating saw and 1mm thick
sawblade to complete the tibial resection.

Option Two: Intramedullary Tibial Guide

Figure 19

Using the IM Femoral Drill, locate and drill a pilot hole
into the intramedullary tibial canal. The inferior edge
of this hole should be positioned 3-5mm anterior to
the pinnacle of the proximal tibial spine. Insert the
T- Handle into the pilot hole created by the IM drill.
Slowly introduce the rod beyond the depth of the pilot
hole to open the intramedullary canal. Assemble the
two-piece IM Tibial Resection Guide to achieve the
desired amount of posterior slope (0° or 6°). The guide
should be assembled so the slope indicators on the
guide face away from the patient when the guide is
in position. Next assemble the T-Handle IM Rod into
the IM Tibial Resection Guide Assembly and insert the
apparatus into the tibial canal. Establish rotational
alignment by positioning the center of the T-shaped
Tibial Cut Block just medial to the tibial tubercle and
anchor the guide using 3” Bone Pins through holes on
the primal portion of the alignment guide (Figure 22).

Tibial Sizing

Proximal Tibial Resection

Completely remove all tibial osteophytes prior to
tibial sizing to avoid false coverage of osteophyte
formation. Size the proximal tibia by matching a Tibial
Sizing Template to the profile of the resected tibial
plateau (Figure 26). A removable Tibial Sizer Handle
can be attached to the Tibial Sizing Template, and the
External Alignment Rod can be used with the Tibial
Sizer Handle to confirm tibial alignment (Figure 27).

Place the Tibial Stylus on the cutting block and adjust
the block until the tip of the stylus marked “9mm”,
denoting a 9mm resection, touches the lowest point
of the least involved compartment of the tibial plateau
(Figure 23).
An alternative method is to adjust the block until the
tip of the stylus marked “1mm” touches the lowest
point of the most involved compartment of the tibial
plateau. Caution: This method should not be used
in cases of severe bone loss, where augmentation
blocks would be appropriate. Likewise, in cases where
the defect is minimal, using the 1mm stylus tip may
not indicate the removal of sufficient bone stock to
accommodate the Foundation Tibial Component
(Figure 24).
Secure the position of the cutting block by drilling two
holes through the holes marked “0” and placing pins
through the holes into the tibia. Holes placed in 2mm
increments above and below the holes marked “0”
allow for readjustment of the cutting block to remove
more or less bone as determined necessary. Unlock
the cutting block from the resection guide. Remove
the guide from the tibia using the Slaphammer, leaving
the tibial cutting block against the anterior tibia.
Place the Saw Capture on the cutting block and use
an oscillating saw and 1mm saw blade to complete
the tibial resection (Figure 25). Holes for the External
Alignment Tower are present in the Tibial Cut Block so
that alignment may be assessed prior to making the
tibial cut. When using the alignment tower, proper
alignment is indicated by the alignment rod pointing
at the second toe.

Figure 26

Anchor the Tibial Sizing Template

Figure 23

To ensure proper alignment of the tibial component,
determine correct rotational alignment for the
tibial template by performing a trial reduction with
the femoral trial component and a tibial trial insert
assembled into the tibial template. Alternatively,
alignment can be determined by positioning the sizing
template such that the External Alignment Rod passes
just medial to the tibial tubercle. Using a 3.2mm drill
bit, drill two holes perpendicular to the Tibial Sizing
Template through the two countersunk holes on the
template. Each hole should be drilled approximately
2cm deep. Insert a Headed Tibial Bone Pin through
each of the holes to secure the tibial template in place
(Figure 28). Use only finger pressure to seat the pins.
If a mallet is used to sink the headed pins, the pins can
become angulated and heads of the pins can keep the
tibial trial and/or tibial broach guide from fully seating.

Assemble the Broach Guide Handle to the appropriate

hole prepared by the reamer and broach the tibial
canal until the broach is fully seated (Figure 30).

Traditional Patellar Sizing

All-Polyethylene Component

Size the patella using the Patellar Sizer/Drill Guide.
The center of the appropriate size patella should be
positioned medial so that the highest point of the
patellar dome replaces the highest point of the normal
patella (Figure 33).

Assemble the Broach Guide Handle to the Tibial Drill
Guide marked “All-Poly” and place the guide into the

Stem Reamer, ream the tibial canal to the stop. Center
the tip of the Tibial Broach, marked “All-Poly”, in the
pilot hole created by the Tibial Stem Reamer. Broach
the proximal tibial canal until the broach is fully seated.

Patellar Peg Preparation
Position the Patellar Sizer on the resected patella
placing the peg holes in the desired orientation. Press
the sharp pin on the Patellar/Sizer Drill Guide into the
resected patella and drill for the patella pegs using the
Patella Peg Stop Drill (Figure 34).

Measure the overall patella thickness using a caliper.
Place the Patella Osteotomy Guide on the patella and
set the stylus to indicate an amount of bone equal to
the thickness of the patellar component to be used.
Using an oscillating saw and a 1mm thick saw blade,
resect the patella. If the initial patellar thickness
measures less than 18mm, remove less bone to assure
sufficient bone stock for anchoring the patellar
component (Figure 32).

Measure the overall patellar thickness using a caliper.
Place the Patella Osteotomy Guide on the patella and
set the stylus to indicate an amount of bone equal to
2mm less than the thickness of the patellar component
to be used (i.e.; if a 10mm Patella is to be used, resect
8mm of bone). Using an oscillating saw and a 1mm
thick saw blade, resect the patella. If the initial patellar
thickness measures less than 18mm, remove less bone
to assure sufficient bone stock for anchoring the
patellar component. In any case, the thickness of the
patella after the osteotomy should not be less than
10mm.

Tibial Component
Place a layer of bone cement on the bottom surface
of the tibial component. There is no need to apply
cement to the keeled stem on the metal-backed
components. Also place a layer of bone cement on
the proximal tibia. Using the Tibial Impactor and a
mallet, impact the tibial component into the tibia
until it is fully seated on the tibia (Figure 39). Remove
any excess bone cement paying particular attention
to area where the tibial insert will be installed.
Bone cement left on the proximal side of the tibial
component will prohibit the insert from properly
seating in the tibial tray.

Patellar Sizing for Recessing
Size the patella using the Patellar Sizer. The center
of the appropriate size patella should be positioned
medial so that the highest point of the normal patella
is replaced by the highest point of the patellar dome.
To ensure sufficient rim following countersinking,
size the patella such that 2mm of bone will remain
beyond the periphery of the patellar diameter (Figure
35). Recessing Based on the size of patella chosen,
assemble the appropriate Patellar Bushing into the
Patellar Clamp and position the clamp over the
resected surface of the patella. Care should be taken
to position the center of the bushing medially so that
the highest point of the patellar component will be
correctly positioned. Using the corresponding Patella
Reamer, countersink the patella by 2mm by reaming
the patella until the top surface of the reamer meets
the first engraved line on the inside of the patellar
bushing (Figure 36). To facilitate reaming, initiate
power to the reamer fully before engaging bone.
Apply gentle, uniform pressure to the patellar surface
while reaming. This should prevent over reaming
and provide a concentric inset cavity for the patellar
component.

Femoral Component

Figure 35

Mix commercially available PMMA based bone cement.
Place a layer of the cement on the internal surfaces of
the femoral component. Also place a layer of cement
on the distal femur. Using the Femoral Impactor and
a mallet, impact the femoral component onto the
femur until it is fully seated on the end of the femur
(Figure 40). Remove any excess bone cement paying
particular attention to the polished articulating surface
of the implant.

Figure 39

Patellar Component
Place a layer of bone cement on the underside of the
patellar component. Using the appropriate size Patella
Inserter in the Patella Clamp, secure the patellar
component in position and tighten the clamp (Figure
41). Leave to clamp in the secured position until the
cement is hard. While the cement cures remove any
excess cement from around the component.

Figure 36

Patellar Peg Preparation
After reaming, and without
removing the Patellar Clamp, place
the appropriate Patellar Drill Guide
into the Patellar Bushing. Tap the
drill guide into place to anchor the
sharp pin into the patellar bone.
Using the appropriate Patella Peg
Stop Drill, drill the three peg holes
(Figure 37).

Trial Reduction
Evaluation of implant fit can
be accomplished by placing an
appropriate size Femoral Trial,
Patellar Trial, Tibial Sizing Template,

Foundation Cruciate Sacrificing (P.S.)

Tibial Insert

Additional Considerations for PCL

Femoral Box Preparation

Place the insert into the tibial baseplate making sure
that the posterior feet on the insert catch under
the posterior lips on the baseplate. Using the Insert
Impactor at a 45° angle, impact the insert into the tray.
One impact should be adequate to secure the anterior
locking mechanism on the implant (Figure 42). Tighten
the tibial insert attachment screw (captured in the
tibial insert) into tibial baseplate. The recommended
applied torque to properly attach the locking screw
is 45”lbs. A torque-limiting driver is provided as a
minimal value torque (Figure 43). Torque applied is
45”lbs when the handle gives way and an audible click
is heard.

Sacrificing When implanting a PCL sacrificing
component or converting from PCL retaining to a PCL
sacrificing design, the following technique specific
considerations should be taken into account:

Choose the appropriate box cutting jig corresponding
to the size of the femoral component to be used, and
secure the jig on the distal femur. Using the sides of
the box cutting jig as a guide, cut perpendicular to the
distal femur on both sides of the box with a 1mm thick
saw blade and oscillating saw. The depth of the cuts
for the walls of the box should be carefully monitored
using the anterior slot of the guide, which corresponds
to the distal surface of the box, as a depth gage for
these cuts (see Figure PS1). Place the P.S. Box Cutting
Chisel into the anterior slot in the box cutting guide
taking care to insert the chisel with the sharp side of
the beveled tip oriented proximally. Impact the chisel
until the intercondylar bone is removed (see Figure
PS2).

Foundation® Total Knee

Primary Knee Surgical Technique

1. To aid in balancing the flexion gap, minimal slope
should be placed on the tibia.

Figure 42

2. Three degrees of external rotation should be placed
on the femoral component via the Foundation
Femoral Sizer and 3 degree bushing option. Again,
this will aid in balancing the medial and lateral
compartments of the flexion gap, as well as improve
patellar tracking.
3. Prior to using the box cutting jig, the PCL should
be excised if still present. It is recommended that
this step be done after preparation of the tibia, so
that manipulation of the joint is facilitated during
the majority of the surgical procedure. With the
above considerations in mind, the procedure can be
completed as described below.

Wound Closure
After cement polymerization has occurred, the knee
can be closed. Release the tourniquet and control
bleeding. Employ a closed wound suction device for
the immediate recovery period. A standard closure
should now be completed using interrupted sutures
and/or surgical staples. Verify the final range of
motion to ensure complete flexion capabilities and the
integrity of the sutures.

Initial Technique
Prepare the femur through step 5 of the surgical
technique for the Foundation primary cruciate
retaining knee. There is no need to complete the
trochlear groove preparation, since the box cutting jig
for the P.S. Femoral Component will remove the bone
in this area. Continue on to step 6, “Tibial Alignment”
and prepare the tibial plateau prior to using the box
cutting jig for the P.S. Femoral Component. Follow the
technique through step 10. Prior to patella preparation
initial the following steps to prepare the femoral P.S.
box.

Technique Completion
Proceed with Step 11 in the cruciate retaining primary
technique. Trial reduction is accomplished in the same
manner as with the retaining knee. However, the
femoral component must be placed on prior to placing
the insert trial. If the insert trial is difficult to place,
subluxate the tibia using a PCL retractor.
