Patella Preparation
Patella Resection
eXPert Advice: Preparation of the patella at this time
frees up the joint capsule and facilitates exposure for the
remainder of the case.
Option 1: Surface Clamp
• Tilt the patella for patella preparation.
• Remove the osteophytes and peripatellar tissues
down to the level of the quadriceps and patellar
tendon insertion.
• Determine the patella thickness and resection amount
by using the patella caliper (32-486502) (Figure 3).
- The patella saw guide stylus (32-486501) can be
utilized to determine the appropriate resection level
(Figure 4).
• Use the patella clamp surface cut guide to perform the
initial, flat patellar resection.
Note: Care should be taken to restore original patella
thickness to prevent overstuffing or under tensioning of the
patella-femoral joint.
