CR stem housing will allow for pegs to be
placed into the distal femur. If peg use is desired, utilize
the distal peg guide. Begin by setting the canal guide for a
left or right femur. Place the canal guide into the prepared
femur to orient the guide M/L. Ensure that the posterior
feet are flush with the posterior bone. Tighten the thumb
screw of the canal guide (Figure 5). Use a ¼in drill through
the holes in the distal peg guide. If posterior augments are
required, a trial can be threaded onto the distal peg guide.
Trial Reduction
Select the correct size trial CR stem housing and adjust
the position of the bolts by aligning the black line to
the correct size as indicated by the color coded dot
(Figure 6). Thread the selected trial stem onto the CR
stem housing trial. Attach the housing trial to the trial
femoral component and complete the trial reduction.
