The Secur-Fit Advanced Stem can
also be inserted using the Modular
Offset Quick Connect Stem inserter.
Place tip of the inserter into the
drive hole of the stem taking care to
align the version tab on the inserter
with the slot in the stem (Figure 15).
The quick connect design provides
the inserter with a stable spring
connection, but it does not provide
a mechanical lock. Therefore,
this assembly should be handled
with care, as excessive shaking
or motion may result in the stem
dis-associating from the inserter.

Thread the Modular Threaded Stem
Inserter into the drive hole on the
proximal face of the stem (Figure 16).
The inserter should be fully threaded
and secured to the stem prior to
impaction to prevent damage to the
threads on the implant or the instru-
ment. Using the inserter, the stem
should be inserted into the femoral
canal until it stops.

The Secur-Fit Advanced Stem
can be inserted by hand and then
impacted into the bone using the
Modular Stem Impactor (Figure 14).
The Modular Stem Impactor has a
spherical tip, which is placed onto
the drive hole of the stem. This
instrument allows for off-axis impac-
tion of the stem. The Modular Stem
Impactor does not connect to the
stem, and, therefore, can only be
used for final impaction of the stem.
