Claim 13:
14. The system for total knee replacement of claim 12:
wherein the proximal tibial alignment guide defines the tibial reference surface configured to constrain the distal femoral alignment guide in translation along a longitudinal axis of the proximal tibial alignment guide;
wherein the proximal tibial cut guide is constrained on the tibia by the first set of pins:
in rotation about a medial-lateral axis of the tibia;
in rotation about an anteroposterior axis of the tibia; and
in translation over a first range of linear distances along a longitudinal axis of the tibia according to a height of an artificial tibial component; and

wherein the proximal tibial cut guide is constrained on the femur by the second set of pins:
in rotation about a medial-lateral axis of the femur;
in rotation about an anteroposterior axis of the femur; and
in translation over a second range of linear distances along a longitudinal axis of the femur according to a height of an artificial femoral component.
