Zusammenfassung:A total knee prosthesis system that includes a guide having first and second wedges each having a thickness configured to be located between the tibial and femoral component. When the first and second wedges are located between the tibial and femoral component, the first and second wedges align the first axle opening of the tibial component with the second axle opening of the femoral component for receipt of an axle. The guide includes a guide recess extending between the first and second wedges and a post extending into the guide recess. The guide also includes a bridge connected to and extending between the first and second wedges such that the bridge at least partially defines the guide recess.
