<strong>Operative</strong> <strong>Technique</strong><br />
Fitting the final<br />
implants<br />
Preparation of the extensor<br />
apparatus in the case of<br />
a transtendinous approach and<br />
reinsertion* of the central slip.<br />
Before fitting the final stems, make<br />
two holes on the dorsal face of the<br />
median phalanx for reinsertion of the<br />
extensor apparatus.<br />
Note:<br />
Reinsertion of the central slip is at<br />
the surgeons discretion.<br />
A reinsertion with excessive<br />
tension may cause postoperative<br />
stiffness.<br />
Fitting the final implants<br />
The procedure for fitting the final<br />
implants is exactly the same as the<br />
procedure for fitting the trial implants.<br />
Impaction of the articulating surfaces<br />
is completed using distal and proximal<br />
articulating surface impactors.<br />
1. Insertion of the proximal stem.<br />
2. Inserting the distal stem.<br />
3. Impaction of the proximal surface.<br />
4. Impaction of the distal surface.<br />
Note:<br />
Be sure to follow the correct<br />
order for fitting components. It is<br />
preferable to impact the proximal<br />
surface before the distal surface.<br />
