The oscillating saw blade on Halls saw driver is used to produce the anterior to posterior cut. The amount of medio-lateral travel of the blade should be carefully managed to avoid exceeding the lateral(4) and medial(3) extent of the jig. Ideally commence the blade in the midportion of the tibia and keep it there angling it medially and laterally. In cutting the posterior cortex of the tibia controlled probing cuts should be used, being sure to cut but not overshoot the posterior cortex.
