Persona The Personalized Knee
Surgical Technique
Tibial Articular Surface Provisional
(TASP) Assembly
(cont.)
The entire TASP construct can be removed to exchange
the shims of the TASP construct. This is accomplished
by flexing the knee greater than 30 degrees, then
lifting the tibial sizing plate handle while attached to
the TASP construct. Once the anterior lip of the TASP
bottom is above the anterior rail of the tibial sizing
plate (Figure 87c), rotate the TASP out of the joint
space medially or laterally (Figure 87d). This will aid in
preventing unwanted shim disassembly during TASP
removal.
Technique Tip:
Varus/Valgus forces may make it
difficult to remove the TASP construct. To aid in the
removal of the TASP and prevent breakage, ensure
that the joint is in a neutral position when removing
the TASP construct.
As shown (Figure 88), size A and B tibias, size C and D
tibias, size E and F tibias, and size G and H tibias, share
side-specific tibial bottoms, tibial tops, and color,
respectively.
When using the stemmed tibia provisional, assemble
the stemmed tibia provisional to the tibial provisional
extractor and insert in the prepared tibia bone. For
additional fixation of the fully seated provisional, insert
the 25 mm x 3.2 mm screw (2.5 mm female hex) with
the 2.5 mm male hex driver through the two screw
fixation holes in the medial and lateral compartments
on the STP.
Note:
Do NOT use 48 mm screws for cemented
tibial sizing plate fixation. 48 mm screw are not
recommended due to potential bone perforation.

TASP Shim/Construct Thickness
Anterior divots in the shim correspond to the overall construct thickness
as shown in the image above.
*Shared Sizing - A and B, C and D, E and F, G and H Cemented Tibial Sizing Plates
have common TASP Tops, Bottoms and Shims respectively.
