Component Removal
Femoral Removal
Fully flex the knee and remove the bearing, allowing
greater access to the implant/cement interface of both
the femur and tibia. Disrupt the femoral implant/bone
interface with flexible osteotomes or thin saw blades
with an oscillating saw. Once the prosthetic bone
interface is loosened, a femoral extraction tool may
be used to aid in removal of the femoral component
from the bone. If there is still a great deal of resistance
in removing the femoral component, attention should
be redirected to the prosthetic cement bone interface
and thin flexible osteotomes should be reinserted to
further loosen the component.
Note:
In the case of a porous component, disrupt
the bone/implant interface using a gigli saw, thin
blade of a reciprocating saw or flexible osteotomes.
Tibial Removal
Disrupt the cement along the tibial plateau with a thin
blade reciprocating saw prior to using a mallet and
extraction device. In the case of stemmed components,
remove screws, if equipped, and disengage the tapers.
This allows for direct access to the stem once the tibial
component is removed. Once access to the stem is
achieved, disrupt the cement interface around the
stem with either osteotomes or a pencil-tipped high-
speed burr. Then attempt to remove the stem. Prior
to tibial or femoral preparation, remove all existing
cement and complete a full debridement.
Preliminary Flexion
and Extension Gap Analysis
The spacer blocks may be used to assess flexion
and extension gaps. The spacer block represents the
combined thicknesses of the tibial baseplate, bearing
and femoral component. The size labeled on the
spacer block represents the bearing thickness needed
to balance the flexion/extension gaps.
Start by inserting the spacer block into the joint. Check
flexion and extension gaps. Increase the thickness
of the spacer blocks until the desired thickness is
achieved (Figure 3).
Note:
Spacer blocks are offered in 10–18 mm in 2
mm increments. A +10 mm spacer block adapter
is available to increase the thickness of the spacer
block to represent the 20, 22, 24 and 26 mm
bearings. For example, to increase the thickness of
the 10 mm spacer block to 22 mm, insert the post
of the +10 mm adapter block into the pocket of the
12 mm spacer block (Figure 4).
