If a patella insert is indicated, the patella ( page 59 ) of the
TC-PLUS™ knee system is used, because the geometry of the
patella cavity is designed for this implant.
The press-in instrument is mounted on the patella gripper
with lock. The back of the patella component is coated with
cement and the three holes for pins in the patella are filled
with cement. The patella component is positioned manually
with the leg stretched and pressed in with the patella gripper
with lock and press-in aid in position. The excess cement is
carefully removed. The gripper is left until the cement has
fully hardened.
After manual placement of the PE retaining screw into
the tibial insert, the PE retaining screw is tightened with
the screwdriver with torque. The required torque is
reached when the line reaches the PE position ( 2.5 Nm ).
Important
The screwdriver with torque is maintenance-free. However,
make sure that the marking is at Position «0» when it is not
under tension. Otherwise the screwdriver with torque must
be returned.
