CR Femoral Finishing and Trialing
Technique Tip:
Reference the orientation and size
etched and/or engraved markings to identify the
correct provisional.
Assemble the femoral CR impactor pad to the femoral
inserter/extractor. Hold the femoral inserter/extractor
with the handle in the open position and insert the
femoral CR impactor pad, aligning the "CR" on the
femoral CR impactor pad with the arrow on the femoral
inserter/extractor (Figure 69a). The femoral CR impactor
pad is keyed, so the femoral CR impactor pad may have
to be rotated while placing and aligning the femoral CR
impactor pad onto the femoral inserter/extractor.
Femoral sizes 3 through 11 are provided in two profiles,
standard and narrow. The size 3 through 11 standard
femoral provisionals have intermittent cutouts around
the periphery, with the inner dimension representing
the outer profile of the narrow femoral implant and the
outer dimension representing the outer profile of the
standard femoral implant (Figure 69b).

Figure 70
Femoral sizes 1 and 2 are provided in one profile, narrow;
and femoral size 12 provided in one profile, standard.
Thus the size 1, 2 and 12 femoral provisionals do not
have intermittent cutouts. Care should be taken to use
the appropriate standard or narrow implant as is related
to side (left or right) and size based on the provisional fit
and ROM provided during the trialing phase.
Technique Tip:
Do not impact the anterior flange
of the CR femoral provisional. Do not impact the
medial or lateral aspects or the release lever of the
femoral inserter/extractor.
Remove any posterior osteophytes or overhanging
bone on the femur to facilitate maximum knee flexion.
Attach the femoral inserter/extractor to the correct
CR femoral provisional by inserting the hook on the
femoral inserter/extractor arm into the anterior notch
in the CR femoral provisional and close the handle
on the femoral inserter/extractor to secure the CR
femoral provisional (Figure 70).
