Tibial
Preparation
There are two options to secure the Universal Tibial
Template to the tibia:
Securing Tibial Template
Option 1:
>
Once satisfactory alignment and tibial component
orientation are achieved, place pins through the two
anterior holes of the Universal Tibial Template to
secure its position . Remove the PS or CR Femoral
Trial . Remove the Tibial Trial Insert and further
secure the Universal Tibial Template by placing
additional pins into the proximal tibia through any of
the available holes .
Option 2:
>
Once satisfactory alignment and tibial component
orientation are achieved, mark the anterior tibial
cortex in line with the reference marks on the
anterior border of the Universal Tibial Template .
Remove the PS or CR Femoral Trial and disassemble
the Tibial Trial Insert from the Universal Tibial
Template .
>
Check the orientation and coverage of the Universal
Tibial Template on the proximal tibia again while
referencing the marks on the anterior border of the
Universal Tibial Template and the anterior cortex
made previously . Reposition the Universal Tibial
Template if required while maintaining a flush fit to
the anterior tibial cortex .
>
Place pins through the two anterior holes of the
Universal Tibial Template to secure its position .
Further secure the Universal Tibial Template by
placing additional pins into the proximal tibia
through any of the available holes .
Tip: In dense bone, holes for pinning, may be pre-
drilled using the 1/8” drill (3170-0000) .
Note: The Tibial Insert Trial can be removed by hand
or with the aid of a retractor .
