implant orientation can also be checked using the
orientation pin placed in the implant driver handle. The
pin should be placed in the same retroversion position
used to position the cutting guide, i.e. close to 0°
retroversion. The orientation pin should then be aligned
with the forearm axis and the implants driven down
(Figure 83).
impact the final press-fit humeral implant by hammering
gently on the implant driver handle (Figure 84).
Note: the final modular humeral implants are larger by
0.5 mm than the trial implants to ensure an optimal
press-fit.
impact the final humeral cup using the cup impactor
(Figure 85). When a humeral spacer is needed impact it
first on the epiphysis and then impact the final cup on
it.
Note: all junction surfaces between implant
components should be clean and free of any tissue
before impaction.
