Implant Components
Technique Tip:
Prior to cementing implants
remove provisionals and use pulse lavage to remove
unwanted debris from the resected bone surfaces
and the joint space.
In this step, the final components are implanted,
and the tibial bearing is secured to the implanted
tibial baseplate. When using cemented components,
it is recommended to use two batches of cement.
After the implants have been chosen, make a final
check to ensure that all components are compatible.
If the resected surfaces of the tibia and/or femur
are sclerotic, drill multiple holes with a small drill
(2.0 mm–3.2 mm) to improve cement intrusion. Mix
the cement following the manufacturer's guidelines
for cement prep including but not limited to mix, work,
and set time.
Tibial Plate
Sublux the tibia anteriorly to allow adequate clearance
to insert the tibial implant into the prepared bone. Do
not apply substances other than bone cement to the
tibial implant (i.e. do not dip implant into antibiotics
or other substances). Keep the implant clean and free
of debris prior to cementing. Place a layer of cement
on the underside of the tibial baseplate, around the
keel, on the resected tibial surface, and in the tibial IM
canal. Assemble the quick connect handle to the tibial
impactor head (Figure 90). Unlock collar and hold,
insert handle into impactor head, release collar, and
rotate handle until “click” is heard. Refer to the option
of an attached inserter for the tibial plate insertion,
located in Appedix C. Position the tibial plate onto the
tibia and use the tibial impactor to impact it until fully
seated (Figure 91). Thoroughly remove any excess
cement in a consistent manner. Allow the cement to
fully cure before performing a trial ROM or inserting
the bearing.
