<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 />
