An apparatus and method for tibial alignment which allows the independent establishment of two separate geometric planes to be used as a reference for the cutting of the tibial plateau during total knee arthroplasty. Two separate frame assemblies (1, 50) with extending rods (13, 35) are coupled to the tibia with a fixed relative angle between them, thereby allowing alignment with the mechanical axis of the bone. A cutting block (12) is mounted on one of the assembly frames and is positioned against the tibia. Stabilizing pins (24) are then placed on the cutting block ( 12), allowing the proper tibial plateau re- section plane to be created.

Un appareil et une méthode d'alignement tibial permettent l'établissement indépendant de deux plans géométriques séparés à utiliser comme référence pour la coupe du plateau tibial pendant une arthroplastie totale du genou. Deux ensembles cadres (1, 50) dotés de tiges déployables (13, 35) sont couplés au tibia avec un angle relatif fixe entre eux, permettant ainsi l'alignement de l'axe mécanique de l'os. Un bloc de coupe (12) est monté sur un des cadres des ensembles et est positionné contre le tibia. Des broches de stabilisation (24) sont ensuite placées sur le bloc de coupe (12), permettant de créer le plan correct de résection du plateau tibial.
