7. HUMERAL PREPARATION
Using the correct size and side capitellum
cutting guide, position it in the trochlear cut
as shown (fig. 32).
Insert the flexion-extension axis pin through both the axis
and the cutting guide to stabilize and align the jig. Make
distal and anterior capitellar cuts with an oscillating saw
on the marked surface as shown (fig. 33).
Broach the humeral canal with the starting broach
and then proceed sequentially to the selected size
of the humeral component (fig. 34a).
TIP
The indication of side right or left should point posteriorly
so that it can be read by the surgeon (fig. 34b).
