A system that can be used in a knee replacement procedure can include a tibial cut guide and an alignment guide. The tibial cut guide can have a first guide portion coupled to and adjustable relative to a second guide portion. The first guide portion can be configured to define a sagittal cut slot and a proximal cut slot. The alignment guide configured for extramedullary mounting to the patient and configured to couple with the second guide portion of the tibial cut guide, the alignment guide having a first mechanism and a second mechanism of differing construction, the first mechanism and the second mechanism are both configured to be actuated to facilitate extension and retraction of the alignment guide to position the tibial cut guide in a desired proximal-distal location relative a tibia of a patient when the tibial cut guide and the alignment guide are assembled together.
