Calcar/Broach Proximal Bodies & PPS Distal Stems
Sterile Field Technique
Implant Insertion
With the proximal inserter still assembled to the
implant, ensure the anti-rotation tabs are properly
locked and insert the implant into the femur until the
desired depth is achieved (Figure 18).
Implant Assembly
With the trial still assembled in the sterile field,
assemble the distal stem and proximal body implants
to match the orientation of the assembled trial
(Figure 16).
Note:
If utilizing a slotted stem, a straight
osteotome can be used in the slot of the trial and
implant to properly orient the distal stem in relation
to the proximal body.
When the desired orientation of the implants has
been achieved, thread the green proximal body
inserter to the assembled implant and impact the
taper junction with at least three blows of the mallet
on the back table (Figure 17).
