(cont.)
Technique Tip:
Ensure the shoulder of drill is
seated at bottom of the femoral provisional
counterbore.
Drill the pegs holes for the size 3 through 12 femoral
implants through the PS femoral provisionals with the
NexGen 6.4 mm Patella/Femoral Drill (Figure 81). The
size 1 and 2 femoral components do not have pegs thus
drilling is not required for those sizes. Remove the screw
from the anterior flange in the PS femoral provisional.
Remove the PS box provisional. The slaphammer
can be used to remove size 3 through 12 PS femoral
provisionals (Figure 82). Rotate the slaphammer a ¼
turn outward. For size 1 and 2 PS femoral provisionals
the slaphammer can be inserted into the notch on the
medial or lateral side of the provisional. Alternatively,
the femoral inserter/extractor can be re-attached to
the PS femoral provisional to remove it from the bone. If
necessary, insert the slaphammer in the extraction hole
of the femoral inserter/extractor to facilitate removal.

Technique Tip:
Ensure oval hole of the femoral
provisional is free of debris prior to inserting
slaphammer.
Technique Tip:
If trialing with TASP leave femoral
provisional in place until trialing is complete.
Technique Tip:
Do not impact the anterior flange
of the PS femoral provisional for removal, as this
may damage the PS femoral provisional.
