4.
Flex the knee to 90° keeping the thin bent Hohmann
laterally and removing the Aufranc retractor. Mix and
prepare bone cement for femoral component and
distal femur. Apply cement to the femoral component
or prepared bone, based on the surgeon’s preference
(Figure 26b).
Note: Care should be taken to avoid excess cement
on the posterior aspect of the femur and femoral
component. Excess cement that extrudes posteriorly is
difficult to remove.
5.
Place the Femoral Implant onto the femur and use the
Modular Femoral Impactor to fully seat the implant.
Remove excess cement. Extend the knee to remove
cement anteriorly without retracting the proximal soft
tissue (Figure 26c).
Note: Similar to the femoral trial impactor, the femoral
implant impactor can be used to impact into the
femoral notch as well as on to the distal surface of the
component by rotating through 180 degrees. This can
be used to prevent the component tilting into flexion
during impaction.
