Optional Femoral Augment
Preparation
Femoral augments are available in distal and posterior
options and offered in 5, 10 and 15 mm thicknesses
(Figure 81). 15 mm augments are not offered for size
1 and 3 femurs.
Remove the TASP assembly if inserted in the joint.
Secure the femoral provisional using the anterior
pin and/or slot. Make the appropriate distal and/
or posterior augment cuts using a reciprocating
saw (Figure 82). With the knee in 90 degrees of
flexion, slide in the posterior and/or distal augment
provisional/s into the femoral provisional (Figure 83).
If an augment provisional is difficult to insert, pull the
femoral provisional out of the femoral canal slightly,
and insert the augment provisional into position.
Note: Alternatively, the femoral sizing/cut guide
can be used to resect the 5 and 10 mm posterior
augments and the distal cut guide can be used to
resect the 5 and 10 mm distal augments.
Take appropriate care protecting the collateral
ligaments when resecting through the distal and/or
posterior augment slots.
Note: Posterior and distal augments are the same
for left/right and medial/lateral uses.
Note:
If preparing the femoral bone to be used
with a Trabecular Metal Augment, ensure the bone
opposing of the Trabecular Metal Augment will
make contact with the resected femur.
