Wilson Condylar Gauge
Ralph Wilson, MD
Designed to measure the posterior femoral condyle after the posterior cuts have been made in total knee arthroplasty
By measuring the depth of the residual condyle, the surgeon can resect excessive bone and measure the bone remaining to avoid impingement of the condyle against the tibial component which could impair knee flexion. The gauge is applied to the inferior or posterior cut surface of the femoral condyle, and the back to front residual bone is measured and then removed as needed. Measures to 30 mm depth.

Accuracy Statement for devices with a measuring function: Devices with a measuring function are considered non-critical, non-calibrated, and are intended for reference-only measurements. While it provides a helpful visual guide for relative measurements, it is not calibrated to specific precision standards. Measurements taken with this device should not be considered accurate enough for critical applications requiring strict dimensional tolerances. General manufacturing tolerances of +\- 1% at each graduation, or 2% of the full scale apply, but no conformance qualifications are provided or implied.
