Trial Reduction

Tibia

•  Based on the tibial trial size, select the appropriate
  medial and lateral Vanguard XP-XP bearing trials.
•  When inserting the bearing trials, it is easier to insert
  the lateral side first, then the medial side (Figure 48).

eXPert Advice: The Vanguard XP bearings are not symmetric.
They have unique medial and lateral articulations.
The trial bearing handle can be used to place the trials onto
the trial tray. Make sure the trials are in proper alignment to
fully seat onto the peg.

Note: If the ACL and bone island are removed and the PCL
is retained, the Vanguard XP tibial bearing trials can be
used as the CR option.

Patella

•  Select a single peg or 3-peg trial patellar component that
  corresponds to the appropriate diameter and thickness
  and seat the trial onto the patella.

Final Trial Range-of-Motion

• With the trial components in place, check the range-of-
motion and stability of the knee.
