JIG FOR MOUNTING ARTIFICIAL KNEE JOINT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a jig for mounting an artificial knee joint which can reduce burden on an operator in artificial knee joint mounting surgery. SOLUTION: The jig (1) for mounting an artificial knee joint is used for a knee in a bent state, and has a thigh mounted member (2) mounted to a thigh (F) and a jig body (4) which abuts on a proximal end face (Tb) of a tibia (T) and a distal end face (Fb1) of the thigh bone (F). The thigh mounted member (2) and the jig body (4) are connected to each other to cause a prescribed tense condition to a ligament, relatively movably in a direction vertical to the proximal end face (Tb) of the tibia (T) and engageably at an optional relative position. The jig body (4) has a guide hole (46) to form a mount reference hole common to artificial knee joints with different sizes in the distal end face (Fb1) of the thigh (F) and an indication portion (48) which indicates the installation surface (Fb2) of the thigh bone (F) corresponding to the artificial knee joints with different sizes.
