2.2 Intramedullary fixation
Diaphyseal intramedullary reaming
In order to ensure good stability for the axis of the diaphyseal reamer, which serves as a guide and support during surgery, gradual intramedullary
reaming is performed with a depth according to the length of the stem which is going to be used.
Diameter of the reaming:
The recommended diameters for this reaming are normally around Ø9-10 or 11 mm, although the suitability of the final
diameter for the femoral diaphysis to be used is always at the discretion of the surgeon and, through gradual reaming, it may even be close to that
of the inner cortex diameter fitting. This is the case when a 200 mm stem must be inserted.
Depth:
Generally, the diaphyseal reamer is inserted up to the second 70-120-200 mark, because at this depth greater stability, accuracy, tighte-
ning and safety are achieved for the installation of the femoral cutting guide. If it is not possible to penetrate this deeply (short femur, fracture
callus which closes the medullary cavity…), at a minimum it must penetrate as far as the 70 mark in order to house a stem which is 70 mm long.
As the femoral time is being performed, the depths must be adjusted to the marks close to the initial F, as indicated in the image below.
Reaming guides with cannulated reamers
Deciding the length of the stem which is going to be used prior to the operation, ream with a cannulated reamer to the depth which was chosen, reaming
with an incremental diameter.
Depth:
To install a 70 mm stem, penetrate as far as the first 70 mark. If, on the other hand, the stem must be 102 or 200 mm, ream until the second
120-200 mark. As this is the femoral time, pay attention to the depth marks closest to the initial F.
