Femoral Provisional Assembly
and Insertion
Remove the stem extension post and disassemble the
stem provisional. Attach the stem provisional to the
femoral provisional by inserting the 5 mm hex driver
into the captured screw of the femoral provisional and
tighten in a clockwise direction (Figure 68). If using
an offset stem provisional, ensure to align the line of
the offset number determined previously with the
posterior line on the femoral provisional (Figure 69).
Insert the femoral provisional construct into the femur
by hand.
Note:
If necessary, use a rongeur to remove anterior
femoral bone between the femoral stem housing
and the anterior flange to ensure the femoral
provisional fully seats.
Assemble the QC handle and the femoral impactor pad
and insert the femoral provisional construct into the
femoral bone and impact until fully seated (Figures 70
and 71). Assess femoral rotation using the epicondylar
alignment guide with respect to the transepicondylar
axis (Figure 72).
