Claim 6:
7. The system for total knee replacement of claim 5, wherein the intermediate femoral alignment guide:
defines a second medial window configured to pass a second medial tensioner that contacts a medial side of the resected proximal tibial face and a medial side of the resected distal femoral face to tension the medial ligament prior to the tibial side of the intermediate femoral alignment guide seating on the resected proximal tibial face and the femoral side of the intermediate femoral alignment guide seating on the resected distal femoral face; and
defines a second lateral window configured to pass a second lateral tensioner that contacts a lateral side of the resected proximal tibial face and a lateral side of the resected distal femoral face to tension the lateral ligament prior to the tibial side of the intermediate femoral alignment guide seating on the resected proximal tibial face and the femoral side of the intermediate femoral alignment guide seating on the resected distal femoral face.
