> Use a standard anterior mid-line incision
(Figure 1). Previous incisions may be used or
incorporated to decrease the risk of skin slough.
> Enter the capsule through a medial parapatellar
approach approximately 1cm from the medial
border of the patella.
> Incise the quadriceps mechanism longitudinally to
allow adequate patellar eversion and sufficient knee

> The drill hole is located approximately 1cm anterior
to the femoral attachment of the posterior cruciate
ligament and slightly medial to the mid-line of the
distal femur (Figure 4).
> Removal of osteophytes from the margins of the
intercondylar notch may aid identification of
landmarks.
> It is recommended that the drill hole be slightly
enlarged. This can be accomplished by toggling the
drill, using a rongeur, or inserting an axial reamer.

> Place the 5/16" T-Handle Rod through the Femoral
Alignment Guide and insert the assembly into the
intercondylar drill hole (Figure 5). Advance the rod
slowly into the intramedullary canal. A suction
source may be attached to the suction fitting on the
rod to reduce the potential for excessive canal
pressurization.
> Place the Femoral Alignment Guide in contact with
the more prominent distal femoral condyle and align
the guide by referencing the posterior condyles or the
epicondyles. The Femoral Alignment Guide can be
partially stabilized by advancing the medial and/or
lateral fixation spikes and gently impacting them into
distal bone.
> The Femoral Alignment Guide is designed for use on
either the left or right knee and can be set at any
valgus angle between 3° and 9°.
Set the instrument to the desired angle by pulling the
knob of the Femoral Alignment Guide and placing it
in the appropriate notch (Figure 6). Handles may be
attached to the sides of the guide to aid in alignment
and stabilization.

Distal Femoral Resection Level
> The XcelerateSystem offers 8mm, 10mm and 12mm
Distal Femoral Resection Guides.
Note: Removing 8mm of distal bone corresponds
to the 8mm distal thickness of the Scorpio NRG
Femoral Components.
> Select the appropriate Distal Femoral Resection
Guide and assemble it to the Femoral Alignment
Guide by positioning the Resection Guide over the
two pegs on the alignment guide. The resection guide
is locked into place by pushing and turning the
locking knob 1⁄4 turn clockwise (Figure 7).
Note: The components shall be positioned to avoid
excessive hyperextension. Excessive femoral flexion and
tibial slope should be avoided when implanting the
components. Implant positioning resulting in excessive
hyperextension may result in premature wear and
damage to the implant.
> Prior to pinning the Distal Femoral Resection Guide
to the femur, an optional external alignment check
may be performed. Attach the Alignment Handle to
the Distal Femoral Resection Guide and insert the
Alignment Rod into the handle (Figure 8).
Alignment is correct when the rod intersects the
center of the femoral head and roughly parallels the
axis of the femur in the lateral view. Once acceptable
alignment is confirmed, remove the handle and pin
the Distal Femoral Resection Guide to the anterior
femur using two 1/8" drill pins.
> The Drill-Pin Driver can be attached directly to the
reamer, drill fitting, or a Jacob`s Chuck. The drill
pins are loaded into the driver and drilled through
the “0” set of holes on the resection guide. The pins
are automatically released from the driver as it is
pulled back.
> After the resection guide is pinned in place, the
alignment guide is removed. Release the resection
guide from the alignment guide by pushing and
rotating the locking knob 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
Remove the IM rod, and the Distal Femoral
Alignment Guide, leaving the Distal Femoral
Resection Guide in place (Figure 9).
Note: If the “X” Pin hole is used, this pin must be
removed prior to repositioning or removing the Distal
Femoral Resection Guide.
Note: A Blade Runner may be used to further assess the
resection.

control of the sawblade during bone resections. Using
a 0.05" (1.27mm) thick saw blade produces the most
accurate resections.
> Once the distal femoral resection is complete, remove
the guide and check the cut is smooth and flat.
> Remove the 1/8" drill pins with the Pin Puller.

Femoral A/P Sizing
> The A/P Sizer is designed to set the desired
external rotation and to provide adjustment of the
anterior/posterior position when needed.
> Attach the Modular Handles to Sizer. Set the A/P
adjustment indicator to “0” (Figure 11).
> Adjust the Sizer to the desired degree of external
rotation and position the instrument flush on the flat
distal femur, sliding the feet of the Sizer under the
posterior condyles (Figure 12). Note that the medial
lateral width of the implant can be assessed by referencing
the width of the anterior portion of the sizer at each
implant size. If desired, rotation can be further adjusted
by using the Modular Handles to reference and parallel
the epicondylar axis. Tighten the locking knob.
Note: It is important that the A/P adjustment
indicator be set to zero prior to placing the A/P Sizer on
the distal femur. Failure to set the indicator to zero may
lead to incorrect sizing of the femur.
Note: Option to pin (Figure 12).

> Snap the Femoral Stylus into position on the
anterior surface of the Sizer. Using the Blade
Runner, determine the implant size that gives the
optimum anterior fit (Figure 13).
> Place the appropriate size drill bushing into the
A/P Sizer, taking care to ensure it is correctly
oriented. Using a 1/8" drill pin, prepare the
distal peg holes.
Note: If you plan to use the Scorpio Universal
Notch block with lugs you can check your position
in the medial lateral with the A/P sizer.
A/P Adjustment
> On occasion the femur will fall between two implant
sizes. Preparing for the smaller size may potentially
notch the femur.
> Preparing for the larger size prevents notching but
may lead to overstuffing of the patello-femoral joint
(Figure 14). The A/P Sizer has been designed to
avoid both these situations by allowing the overall
position of the drill holes to be adjusted to provide
the optimum anterior resection.
> When an adjustment of the A/P sizer is necessary,
loosen the locking knob and reposition the A/P
adjustment indicator until it indicates the
“-2” position (Figure 15).

> This will shift the position of the peg holes 2mm
anteriorly, raising the level of the anterior resection
and preventing notching of the anterior cortex
(Figure 16). However, it will remove an additional
2mm of bone from the posterior condyles, increasing
the flexion gap. Care must be taken to properly
balance the flexion and extension gaps in this
situation.
> When the A/P Sizer is adjusted to the +2mm mark,
the level of the anterior resection is moved posteriorly
2mm. The amount of posterior bone removed is
reduced. This is useful in cases where the flexion gap
is particularly loose.

A/P and Chamfer Bone Cuts
> Assemble the Cutting Block Impactor/Extractor to
the Impaction Handle.
> Insert the two prongs of the Cutting Block
Impactor/Extractor into the two distal holes on the
cutting guide.
> Position the corresponding Femoral 4:1 Cutting
Block into the pin holes and impact until the block
is seated flush on to the distal femur. Additional
fixation can be achieved by pinning the Femoral 4:1
Cutting Block to the bone.
> Impact the Cutting Block Impactor/Extractor using a
mallet while guiding alignment of the Femoral 4:1
Cutting Block with the other hand.
> Use of a 0.05” (1.27mm) thick, 18mm wide saw blade is
recommended
> Complete the remaining four bone resections
> The recommended bone resection sequence for the
Femoral 4:1 Cutting Block is:
1. Anterior Cortex
2. Posterior Condyles
3. Posterior Chamfer
4. Anterior Chamfer
> Extract the Femoral Cutting Guide by using the Cutting
Guide Impactor/Extractor
> Do not remove the Femoral 4:1 Cutting Block from the
bone by impacting on the backside of block.
Extraction with the Cutting Block Impactor/Extractor
> Assemble the Cutting Block Impactor/Extractor to the
Impaction Handle.
> Insert the two prongs of the Impactor/Extractor into the
two distal holes on the Femoral 4:1 Cutting Block.
> Extraction can be achieved by pulling on the attached
handle. If additional force is needed, the Slaphammer may
be attached to the end of the Impaction Handle.
Note: Additional fixation support should be provided for the
cutting block to ensure block stability during disengagement
of the adapter when used on osteoporotic bone.

Notch Preparation for Scorpio PS
> The Scorpio Universal Preparation Block Instrument
is used after completion of the five femoral bone cuts.
> Select the appropriately sized Universal Notch Block.
The block sits on the anterior, anterior chamfer and
distal cuts. The anterior geometry represents the left
and right lateral flanges of the implant of the same
size. The sides are marked LL and RL for left lateral
and right lateral, respectively.
> Position the Notch Block on the prepared distal femur,
aligning the lugs with the holes made by the Femoral
Cutting Guide. Tap into place with the mallet
(Figure 19). To further aid the positioning, if using
pegless blocks, note that the block is also the same
width as the implant of its respective size.
Note: Pins used with the size 3, 4 and 5 Notch Blocks
should be used with no more than one pin per side to
avoid the potential for the pins intersecting with each
other. Pins should be used on the contra-lateral side from
each other. For example, if a pin is placed through the
medial anterior chamfer hole, a second pin should only
be placed on the lateral side through either the chamfer
or anterior flange hole. Towel clamps may be used for
additional stability if necessary in the indicated holes on
the distal plane.
> Once the Notch Block is seated flush against the
anterior, anterior chamfer and distal cuts of the
femur, drill 1/8" headless pins through the angled
holes (“X”) on the anterior and/or anterior chamfer
surfaces of the block (there are 4 “X” holes each at
15°) (Figure 20).
> Towel clamps may be used on the medial and
lateral sides of the distal portion of the block.
It is recommended to use at least the 2 anterior pin
holes, even if towel clamps are used.
> Stryker recommends the following instructions be
used when using the Size 3 Notch Preparation Guide:
Size 3 Notch Block Notch Preparation
Pins used with the size 3 Notch Block should only
be placed in through the anterior chamfer to avoid
hitting the notch punch.
Do not place pins through the anterior flange.
Towel clamps may be used for additional stability
if necessary, in the indicated holes on the distal plane.

Option 1: Punch Technique
Note: If the femoral bone is sclerotic, Option 2 (Saw
Technique) should be used for the notch preparation.
> Assemble the appropriately sized Notch Punch to the
punch handle.
> Guide the Notch Punch into the tracks on the distal
face of the Notch Block (Figure 21). The rails on the
sides of the cutting edge fit into the tracks on the
inside walls of the block.

> Using a mallet, impact the Punch until it reaches
the end-stop and is fully seated in the Notch
Block (Figure 22).
> Remove the Punch from the tracks with a Slaphammer
if necessary (Figure 23).
Note: It is not uncommon for the area of bone being
prepared to be removed by the punch at the time of
extraction. In this instance, it is still necessary to clean
out remaining soft tissue and compact.
Note: Using an osteotome or rongeur, remove the
margin of the intercondylar bone necessary to ensure
that all soft tissue is cleared from the intercondylar area
of the femur. (It is important to remove all soft tissue in
the femoral notch prior to compacting bone to avoid
future potential soft-tissue impingement).

> Use a narrow saw blade, osteotome, or double-edged
reciprocating saw blade and the Notch Saw Guide as
a guide to saw or cut distally through the entire depth
of the intercondylar notch (Figure 28).
> Using the inner walls of the Universal Notch Guide as
a saw guide, lay the saw blade flat against the cutting
guide and saw on it through the intercondylar notch
both medially and laterally until the cut is complete
(Figure 29).
Note: Even if the saw technique is used, you must still
perform the Notch Compacting step to confirm that
enough bone was removed to accommodate the cam
and post.

> Impact the PS or CR Femoral Trial onto the
prepared distal femur ensuring the Femoral trial is
aligned with the distal plane.
> Remove the Femoral Impactor/Extractor and assess
the fit of the PS or CR Femoral Trial. Care must be
taken to ensure that all of the osteophytes beyond
the end of the posterior femoral condyles are
removed.
Cruciate Retaining Knee: Attach the 1/4" Peg
Drill to the Universal Driver and create the
Femoral Distal Fixation Peg holes if using the
Pegless Trials. Use a 1/8" drill for size 3 and 4
femoral Trial. Option: After removing size 3
or 4 Femoral Trial, follow-up with 1/4 in Peg
Drill.
Posterior Stabilized Knee: If the Peg Holes
were not prepared by using the Pegged Notch
Block, attach the 1/4" Peg Drill to the Universal

Tibial Preparation
Option 1: Extramedullary Technique
> With the knee flexed, place the External Tibial
Alignment Guide on the tibial shaft. Place the
spring-loaded clamp around the distal tibia just
above the malleoli.
> Place the head of the Proximal Rod over the tibial
eminence. There should be a finger’s breadth clearance
between the proximal shaft of the alignment guide and
the anterior cortex when the head is positioned
properly. Center the proximal fixation pins over the
tibial eminence and tap in the most posterior pin first
to fix the anterior/posterior location of the head.
> Rotation is now adjusted, and then set, by anchoring
the second pin. Tighten the vertical screw to secure the
proximal shaft of the guide (Figure 34).

Option 2: Intramedullary Technique
IM Rod Placement
> If the tibial eminence is pronounced, make
an initial cut to flatten the tibial plateau and
expose an area of cancellous bone. A 5/16"
hole is drilled in the location determined by
pre-operative X-rays (Figure 46).
> Attach the pre-determined diameter IM Rod (1/4",
3/8", or 5/16") to the T-Handle by depressing the

Flexion/Extension Alignment
> If additional posterior slope is required, loosen
Locking Knob “2” and set the slope. Once the
correct slope is attained, securely tighten Locking
Knob “2” to set the final position of the jig
(Figure 54).
> Increment markings have been added to the posterior
slope adjustment FOR REFERENCE ONLY. Bear in
mind that these are reference marks only and not
indicative of an exact measurement of the posterior
slope of the tibial resection. The true slope is
dependent on many factors, including, but not
limited to, tibial anatomy, the placement of the IM
Rod, the position of the cutting block from the
anterior portion of the tibia.
Tibial Resection Level
> The Xcelerate System offers Right and Left, 0° and 5°
Tibial Resection Guides.
Note:
0 degrees of posterior slope is recommended for use
with the Scorpio PS femoral components.
5 degrees of posterior slope is recommended for use
with the Scorpio CR femoral components.

Tibial Baseplate Preparation
Scorpio NRG Tibial Component Sizing

Handle and place it on the resected tibial plateau
(Figure 61). Choose the size that best covers the
tibial plateau.
22
Tibial Component Alignment
> Replace the Trial Femoral Component on the femur.
Assemble a Tibial Bearing Insert Trial to the Tibial
Trial Baseplate by first positioning it posteriorly on
the baseplate and then fully seating it anteriorly
(Figure 62). Reverse the steps to dis-assemble the
insert trial from the baseplate.
> Position the assembled insert and baseplate on the
tibial plateau and carry out a trial reduction. Assess
overall component fit, ligament stability, and joint
range of motion.
> As the joint is taken through flexion and extension,
the femoral trial component helps position the tibial
baseplate. Final position of the tibial trial is achieved
when tibiofemoral articular contact is most congruent.
This is best assessed when the knee is in extension.
> Overall leg alignment may be assessed at this time.
Re-attach the Alignment Handle to the trial baseplate
and insert two Alignment Rods into the handle. The
rods should parallel the mechanical axis of the leg in
both the coronal (A/P) and sagittal (M/L) views
(Figure 63).

> Pin the baseplate to the tibial plateau by placing two
short, headed fixation pins through a medial and lateral
hole in the baseplate (Figure 65). Pin hole selection is
not critical; however, if the anterior holes are used and
the pins are fully seated, the Tibial Bearing Insert Trial
may be re-assembled to the pinned baseplate for any
subsequent trial reductions.

Tibial Keel Punching
> Tibial Punches are identified by keel size (3/5, 7/9,
11/13) and bone preparation (“Cement Keel
creates an interference fit around the keel).
> The sequence of steps necessary to prepare the tibia
for the Deltafit Keel may vary depending on the bone
quality of the proximal tibia. In relatively soft bone
(i.e., rheumatoid) only one punching step with the
final tibia size/preparation punch may be required. In
normal bone, it is recommended that a smaller “Press
Fit Keel” punch be used first, followed by the final
size/preparation punch.
> In denser bone, several intermediate punching steps
may be required prior to final punching. If sequential
punching is undertaken, only “Press Fit Punches
should be utilized until the final size is reached. If
extremely dense bone is encountered, a 3/8" Guide
Bushing may be assembled to the baseplate and a
pilot hole drilled prior to tibial punching (Figure 66).
24
> Assemble the Tibial Punch Tower to the baseplate by
placing the tower onto the two small locating pins on
top of the baseplate. During the subsequent tibial
punching, the tower will maintain correct position of
the punches.
> Fit the appropriate Tibial Punch into the Tibial
Punch Tower (Figure 67). See Appendix 1 - Baseplate
Preparation Table. Handles may be assembled to the
tower to aid in maintaining position and stability of
the tower/baseplate assembly during punching. A
mallet may be used to impact the punch.

Patella Preparation
> Remove all osteophytes and synovial insertions
around the patella, and measure thickness using a
caliper. After determining the depth of the cut with
a caliper, fix the stylus in the appropriate slot to the
patellar resection guide, and capture the patella
between the jaws of the saw guide. Using a 0.05"
(1.27mm) non-offset sawblade, resect the patella
(Figure 70).
Patella Trial Assessment
> Remove any residual cartilage and wash away all
debris. Place correct size Patella Trial onto the
prepared patella.
> Replace all Trials and assess patellar tracking by
taking the knee through a ROM. The patella should
track normally through the ROM without tendency
for tilting or lateral subluxation.
> Center the chosen patellar drill guide over the patella
with the handle perpendicular to the trochlear
groove. Drill three fixation holes with the appropriate
stepped drill (Figure 71).
> Prepare the resected bone surfaces for bone cement
application. See page 29 for cementing with the
Patellar Clamp.

Tibial Bearing Insert Assembly
> Prior to assembly of the prosthetic UHMWPE
bearing insert, the trial insert may be placed in the
tibial tray to once more assess joint stability and
range of motion.
> To assemble the prosthetic bearing insert, distract
the joint and angle the insert posteriorly into the tray.
The posterior lips of the bearing insert must fit
beneath the lips on the interior, posterior tray wall.
> Snap the insert in place anteriorly (Figure 75). Hand
pressure or a light tap with a mallet is required. The
tibial bearing insert is fully seated once the metal
retaining wire locks under the barbs on the anterior,
interior surface of the wall.
Implantation of Femoral Component
> Assemble the appropriate size of left or right femoral
implant onto the Femoral Impactor/Extractor in the
same manner as the femoral trial. See Appendix 2
for Scorpio NRG PS/CR interchangeability chart.
Place the implant on the prepared femur and impact
it until fully seated (Figure 76). The Impactor/
Extractor maintains accurate position of the implant
during implantation.
Note: The components shall be positioned to avoid
excessive hyperextension. Excessive femoral flexion and
tibial slope should be avoided when implanting the
components. Implant positioning resulting in excessive
hyperextension may result in premature wear and
damage to the implant.
Implantation of the Patellar Component
> The back surface of the implant (including the
pocket) and the cut surface of the patella are covered
with a layer of cement. Cement should be interdigitated
into the fixation holes on the cut patella and the pocket
on the back of the all-plastic Patellae Components.
> The patellar clamp locks in place while the cement
hardens (Figure 77).
Closure
> After cement polymerization, thoroughly irrigate the
joint and place suction drains. Hemostasis is achieved
after deflation of the tourniquet. Close soft tissues in
the normal layered fashion.

Indications
Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee
resulting from: degenerative arthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic
arthritis.
Post-traumatic loss of knee joint
configuration and function.
Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion
deformity in which the ligamentous
structures can be returned to adequate
function and stability.
Revision of previous unsuccessful knee
replacement or other procedure.
Additional Indications for Posterior
Stabilized Components:
Ligamentous instability requiring implant
bearing surface geometries with increased
constraint.
Absent or non-functioning posterior
cruciate ligament.
Contraindications
Any active or suspected latent infection in
or about the knee joint.
Any mental or neuromuscular disorder
which would create an unacceptable risk of
prosthesis instability, prosthesis fixation
failure, or complications in post-operative
care.
Bone stock compromised by disease,
infection or prior implantation, which
cannot provide adequate support and/or
fixation to the prosthesis.
Skeletal immaturity.
Severe instability of the knee joint
secondary to the absence of collateral
ligament integrity and function.
Obesity. An overweight or obese patient can
produce loads on the prosthesis which can
lead to failure of the fixation of the device
or to failure of the device itself.
Warnings and Precautions:
See package insert for warnings, precautions,
adverse effects and other essential product
information.
