Removal of Femoral Provisional using
Optional MIS Femoral Inserter/Extractor
Ensure that (A) and (B) are still set properly for the
provisional type being used (PS).
Position the instrument hook under the provisional (F)
(Figure 10f).
Turn the tension adjustment knob (D) to tighten or
loosen as needed.
Close the locking handle (G).
Attach the slaphammer (H), and extract.
Step Eleven: Finish the Tibia
Use the slaphammer extractor or small osteotome
to remove the trialing plate, leaving the broach plate
in place on the tibia (Figure 11a). Avoid torquing the
trialing plate during removal as this could damage the
peg on the inferior surface (Figure 11b).
