Instruments to use
If the radial head articulates congruently with the capitellum,
a radial head component should be employed.
If maltracking of the radial head is evident, component
positioning should be adjusted. If maltracking persists,
a radial head replacement should not be performed.
After the trial reduction is complete, remove the trial stems.
To remove the trial radial stem, screw the radial trial handle
into the screw hole of the radial trial stem.
Gently tap with a mallet to extract the stem. Remove the ulnar
trial stem using the ulnar stem extractor tool (fig. 54).
To remove the humeral component, grasp the humeral trial
spool with the humeral extractor clamp (fig. 55).
Then gently tap retrograde and remove the component.
