<strong>Operative</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />

Fitting the distal trial stem<br />

Impaction is performed using the<br />

distal impactor (Ref XIM007002).<br />

Palmar proximal resection<br />

using the cutting guide<br />

The guide (Ref XVIPR001001)<br />

is positioned to rest against the dorsal<br />

stop of the proximal trial stem.<br />

The pin of the guide is inserted<br />

into the housing of the trial stem.<br />

Use an oscillating saw to complete the<br />

palmar resection<br />

Note:<br />

The use of a narrow saw is<br />

recommended so as to minimise<br />

the risk of damage to the lateral<br />

ligaments.<br />

Dorsal cortex removal<br />

Take care to free the dorsal cortex<br />

of P1 (1), using a saw or a gouge<br />

forceps, so as to eliminate residual<br />

bone debris. If this is necessary, use<br />

the saw to remove final bone debris<br />

from the palmar resection (2).<br />

Note:<br />

The presence of bone debris at the<br />

periphery of the stem may impair<br />

the impactaction of the final<br />

surface and its retention on the<br />

stem.<br />
