*For cemented applications, apply a 
layer of bone cement to the underside 
of the tibial plate, around the keel, on 
the resected tibial surface and in the 
tibial IM canal. Remove the excess 
cement.

Recheck the ROM and stability of  
the knee. 

Surgeon Notes & Tips

 

•

  Take care that the retractors do not 

inadvertantly dislodge the tibial 
base plate, particularly on the 
posterolateral corner.

 

•

  Verify that the femoral component  

is fully seated before closing  
the wound.

 

•

  Confirm that no portion of the 

quadriceps mechanism has  
been pinned beneath the  
femoral component.

Surgical Support Team Tips

 

•

  The cement may need to be 

prepared in two separate batches to 
implant the components. 
  -  Place cement onto the tibial  

 

    bone, position the implant, and  
    impact into place. Remove  
    excess cement. 
  -  Place cement onto the femoral    
    component, then position the    
    implant and impact into place.   
    Remove all excess cement in a    
    consistent manner.

 

•

  After the tibial base plate 

component has been implanted, 
ensure that the tibial base plate 
component has not been dislodged 
when the femur is subluxed 
anteriorly to implant the femoral 
component.

For in vivo Assembly:

If preferred, 17mm or thicker articular 
surface can be inserted after the tibial 
plate has been implanted.

1.  Assemble the stem extension or the 

taper plug onto the tibial plate by 
striking it with a mallet once for the 
stem extension or several times for 
the taper plug to allow the ring on 
the taper plug to deform.

  It is recommended to secure the 

taper plug/stem extension using 
a Replacement Stem Extension 
Locking Screw: 00-5980-090-00 
(available as a separate sterile 
item) before  implanting the tibial 
component. This screw will hold the 
taper plug/stem extension in place 
when the tibial plate is impacted.

2.  Implant the tibial plate*. Remove 

the Replacement Stem Extention 
Locking Screw and discard. If bone 
cement is being used, wait for the 
cement to completely cure before 
inserting the articlular surface. An 
articular surface provisional may be 
inserted to use as space while the 
cement cures.

3.  Remove the articular surface 

provisional and insert the articular 
surface onto the plate using the 
Articular Surface Inserter.

4.  Select the Tibial Plate Wrench that 

matches the size of the implant to 
be assembled. Place the end of the 
wrench over the tibial plate. Ensure 
that the wrench is in line with the 
base of the tibial plate.

5.  Place the locking screw (packaged 

with the articular surface) through 
the hole in the articular surface.

6.  Use the LCCK Deflection Beam 

Torque Wrench attached to the 
4.5mm Hex Driver Bit to torque the 
screw to 95 in.-lbs.

gaps are not balanced, consider using 
the taper plug in case, during final 
reduction, it would be necessary to use 
a 17mm or thicker component. Then, 
if the articular surface should ever 
require revision with a 17mm or thicker 
component, the taper plug is already 
in place and revision of the tibial plate 
component may not be necessary.

For Back Table Assembly:

1.  Assemble the stem extension or the 

taper plug onto the tibial plate by 
striking it with a mallet once for the 
stem extension or several times for 
the taper plug to allow the ring on 
the taper plug to deform.

2.  Place the tibial plate onto the 

holding fixture, which is an integral 
part of the instrument case.

3.  Use the articular surface Inserter to 

insert the articular surface onto the 
tibial plate.

4.  With the articular surface in place, 

insert the secondary locking screw 
(packaged with the anticular 
surface).

5.  Use the LCCK Deflection Beam 

Torque Wrench with the 4.5mm Hex 
Driver Bit attached to torque the 
screw to 95 in.-lbs. Alternatively, 
if using a stem extension, use the 
Tibial Plate Wrench to assist when 
torquing the screw. Do not over or 
under torque.
