While protecting the tip of the stem with a soft cloth,
firmly impact the stem to engage the tapers. Tighten
the set screw with the 2 mm hex driver in a clockwise
direction (Figure 103).
Note: The 2 mm hex driver has an over-torque
limiter built into the design of the handle so it will
break to prevent over-torquing.
Implant Assembly
(cont.)
Place the stem in the femur. If using a straight splined
stem, align the slots of the stem so that one slot
runs directly A/P and the other runs directly M/L
(Figure 102).
If using an offset splined stem, insert the stem into
the femoral component until the predetermined
offset number on the stem lines up with the posterior
reference mark on the posterior of the stem housing.
Confirm stem alignment by referencing the provisional
components (Figure 102a).
