Insert the appropriately-sized NexGen Patella Peg Drill
Guide into the patella clamp in the proper orientation
(Figure 65). Place the patella clamp with the NexGen
Patella Peg Drill Guide over the cut surface of the
patella, centered slightly toward the medial facet over
the 3.2 mm drill hole with the clamp oriented so two
of the holes are biased toward the medial side of the
patella (Figure 66).
Technique Tip:
For hard/sclerotic bone it may
be necessary to impact the NexGen Patella Peg
Drill Guide face to fully seat the drill guide. This is
necessary to assure that adequate bone removal is
attained during drilling to fully seat the implant.

clamp (Figure 68).
