Claim:
1. An adjustable femoral provisional component comprising: a femoral adjustment member securable to a distal femur and adapted to enable ligament balancing during a surgical procedure on a knee, the femoral adjustment member including a medial adjustment mechanism and a lateral adjustment mechanism, the medial and lateral adjustment mechanisms configured to create adjustable distances between a distal surface of the femoral adjustment member and resected surfaces of the distal femur; an anterior patellar groove member couplable with an anterior surface of the femoral adjustment member to form a provisional distal femoral surface, the anterior patellar groove member including a proximal surface configured to contact at least a first resected surface of the distal femur, wherein the provisional distal femoral surface is adapted to provide ligament balancing through adjustment of the femoral adjustment member through a full range of patella tracking; and an augment element disposable between a portion of the femoral adjustment member and a distal resected surface of the distal femur when the anterior patellar groove member is coupled with the femoral adjustment member, the augment element adapted to assist in ligament balancing with the knee in extension.
