Torque Limiting Position
Inserting the Locking Screw
To lock the distal and proximal body implants, thread
the locking screw into the top of the proximal body
using the 3.5 mm hex driver and T-handle in torque
limiting position until a “click” is felt and heard
(Figure 57).
Note:
If the screw does not thread into the distal
stem the proximal body is not fully seated, the final
implant assembly steps must be repeated.
Inserter Disassembly
(cont.)
To remove the proximal fastener, utilize the taper
assembly driver and unthread the proximal fastener
from the proximal body implant (Figure 55).
Note:
This inserter disassembly technique will NOT
disassemble the implant.
Note:
To confirm that the proximal body is fully
seated onto the taper junction an optional taper
engagement tool is available. Insert the taper
engagement tool into the top of the proximal body.
Verify that the etch mark depth (50, 60, 70 or 80)
on the engagement tool aligns with the lateral
shoulder of the proximal body implant chosen
(Figure 56). The taper engagement tool may only
be used prior to inserting the locking screw.
