Claim 10:
11. The system for total knee replacement of claim 1, further comprising an ankle alignment indicator:
extending distally from the proximal tibial alignment guide;
configured to indicate an angular offset about a tibial anteroposterior axis and a tibial medial-lateral axis between a mechanical axis of the tibia and the proximal tibial cut plane, defined by the proximal tibial cut guide located on the tibia via the first set of pins, prior to placement of the proximal tibial cut guide on the tibia and prior to resection of the proximal structure of the tibial; and
configured to indicate an angular offset about a femoral anteroposterior axis and a femoral medial-lateral axis between the mechanical axis of the tibia and the distal femoral cut plane, defined by the distal femoral cut guide located on the femur via the second set of pins, prior to placement of the distal femoral cut guide on the femur and prior to resection of the distal structure of the femur, the distal femoral cut plane parallel to and linearly offset from the proximal tibial cut plane.
