Note:
The 2 mm hex driver has an over-torque
limiter built into the design of the handle so it will
break to prevent over-torquing.
Optional Tibial Augment Assembly
If an augment is being utilized, position the augment
on the underside of the tibial baseplate implant
and align the screws with the thread holes. Use the
3.5 mm hex driver to start and align both augment
screws in a clockwise direction. Once both screws have
been started, align the augment with the perimeter of
the tibial baseplate implant as desired. Tighten the
screws until the augment is rigidly attached to the
tibial baseplate implant (Figure 97).
Note:
Augments must be attached after the stem
has been assembled. The 10 and 15 mm augment
thicknesses will block access to the 2 mm set screw
anteriorly.
Implant Assembly
Note:
A stem extension implant must be utilized
with the tibial and femoral components.
The steps below are for assembling tibial and femoral
implant constructs for use with or without an augment.
Note:
If Trabecular Metal Tibial and/or Femoral
Cones are required, proceed to Appendix D: Tibial
Central Cone Implant Assembly on page 57 and/
or Appendix E: Femoral Central Cone Implant
Assembly on page 60 for assembly instructions.
Tibial Implant Assembly
Prior to assembly of the final construct, use the 2 mm
hex driver to loosen the set screw to remove the taper
cap from the tibial implant. Ensure the set screw in the
stem housing is backed out in order for the stem to
seat fully (Figure 93). The tibial impaction base may be
used to aid in assembling the stem implant to the tibial
baseplate implant. Place the tibial baseplate implant
on the tibial impaction base (Figure 94). Place the
stem in the tibial baseplate implant. If using a straight
splined stem, align the slots of the stem so that one
slot runs directly A/P and the other runs directly M/L
(Figure 95).
If using an offset splined stem, insert the stem into
the tibial baseplate implant and rotate the stem until
the predetermined offset number aligns with the
reference mark on the anterior of the stem housing.
Confirm stem alignment by referencing the provisional
components (Figure 95a).
While protecting the tip of the stem with a soft cloth,
firmly impact the stem to engage the tapers. Tighten
the set screw with the 2 mm hex driver in a clockwise
direction (Figure 96).
