Claim 17:
18. The system for total knee replacement of claim 17:
wherein the conforming bearing defines:
a nominal geometry that approximates a target geometry of a proximal section of an artificial tibial component configured to seat over the resected proximal tibial face; and
the second set of tibial pin guides at a first offset from the proximal concave face;

wherein the longitudinal tibial cut guide defines the longitudinal tibial cut axis at a second offset from the fourth set of pins; and
wherein a sum of the first offset and the second offset approximates a position of a stem of the artificial tibial component relative to the proximal section of the artificial tibial component to locate the artificial tibial component in the ligament-balancing position on the tibia over the range of motion of a knee.
