An apparatus and method are provided for aligning an extramedullary femoral cut guide by referencing the anterior cortex of a femur. An anterior cortex referencing extramedullary femoral cut guide is provided to guide an osteotomy device to prepare the femur to receive a prosthesis. An alignment gauge is included in the cut guide to determine proper and improper alignment of the cut guide with respect to the anterior cortex of the femur.
