• Cement each component according to the technique
described. Wait until cement has set. Leave protecting ulnar
screw in its component to prevent cement from coming

elbow while the cement is setting as movement decreases
the bond of cement to the components.
• Assemble the 2.5 mm screwdriver with the torque handle.
• When cement has completely set, remove the protecting
ulnar screw with the 2.5 mm hex screw driver and discard.
• Reduce humeral and ulnar components to approximately
140° of flexion, insert ulnar cap into the ulnar stem (fig. 59).
• Tighten the screw until the torque release is reached
(fig. 60).
