Functional ACL (cont.)
Trialing
• Based on the tibial template size, select the appropriate
tibial trial and the appropriate medial and lateral
Vanguard XP-XP bearing trials.
• Free float the tibial trial and assembled trial bearing on
the prepared tibia (Figure 41).
• Place the femoral trial onto the femur with dedicated
femoral impactor (110004685).
• With the trial components in place, check the range-
of-motion and stability of the knee.
If range-of-motion and stability are appropriate:
• Drill holes for the distal femoral pegs through
the trial femoral component using the lug drill
(32-486100)
• Determine final rotation of the tibia and mark the position
in the following way:
- Extend the anterior marks of the tibial trial
onto the anterior tibia with electrocautery

Tibial Preparation
eXPert Advice: When trialing range-of-motion, if the medial
and lateral bearings rise up in flexion:
a. confirm the tibial tray is not undersized.
b. confirm that the posterior slope is adequate.
If the medial trial bearing raises up during flexion:
a. confirm there is not excessive external rotation of the
tibial tray. Slight modifications may need to be made to
the bone island.
b. confirm that the tibial tray is not undersized
If the lateral trial bearing raises up during flexion:
a. confirm that there is not excessive internal rotation of
the tibial tray. Slight modifications may need to be made
to the bone island.
b. confirm that the tibial tray is not undersized.
Attention: Use only matching bearing components for
medial and lateral condyles. The use of mismatched
components has not been evaluated and could lead to
premature failure of the device. This refers to bearing
thickness and articular surface.
