Use of a bone-cutting device to create a trapezoidal bone canal on the lateral tibial plateau for bone block insertion (right knee). A spoon is placed into the posterolateral portal to protect the posterior neurovascular structures. After the bone-cutting device is aligned, a trapezoidal osteotome is oriented vertically just lateral to the patellar tendon and advanced using a mallet into the tibial plateau to create a canal for the bone block.
