A mallet is then used to seat the
stem into the canal with short,
controlled strokes.
The surgeon should NOT attempt
to continue impacting the femoral
component if visual and auditory
clues indicate that the stem is firmly
seated in the canal. These clues,
rather than the broach seating level,
should be used to determine the
final seating height of the implant.
Continued aggressive impaction
could lead to femoral fracture.
In the event that dense bone is
encountered intra-operatively and
compounding anatomical factors are
present, the seating of the implant
may not be consistent with the level
of the broach due to the viscoelastic
nature of the femoral bone. If the
final seating height is undesirable,
the implant can be removed using
the Modular Threaded Stem Inserter
(option 3) and additional broaching
can be performed. If the stem
inserter is contacting the greater
trochanter during insertion, continued
impaction could lead to a fracture.

if the stem inserter is
contacting the greater
trochanter during insertion,
continued impaction could
lead to a fracture. the
surgeon should consider
using an alternate impactor.
