Optional procedure
Trial reduction with inserted modular short stem
►
Remove the trial cone adapter only after the stem component has been impelled.
►
Insert the stem component and punch it into the implant bed with well-dosed blows.
►
If necessary, change the trial cone adapter, making certain that the arrow points to "MEDIAL".
►
Carry out a trial reduction.
►
Check the mobility/range of movement and stability of the joint and the length of the leg.
►
Remove the trial implants.
Fracture and increased wear of the modular implant components, or loosening of
the implant connection, due to soiled or damaged joining surfaces!
►
Carefully rinse the inside cone of the stem and the joining surfaces of the cone
adapter; clean with cleaning swabs (ND619 or ND622) and dry.
WARNING
►
Check the joining surfaces for any damage.
►
Do not join modular implant components more than once.
►
Always rinse, clean and dry the cone prior to joining.
►
Select the implant cone adapter according to the fitting trial cone adapter.
►
Carefully insert the implant cone adapter in the short stem already implanted, making certain that the arrow
points to "MEDIAL".
►
Fixate the implant cone adapter with hammer taps on the appropriate insertion instrument.
Concluding steps for applying (modular/non-modular) short stems
►
Select a prosthesis ball according to the trial heads.
►
Verify that the cone size of the prosthesis stems are the same as the cone size of the prosthesis heads (see cone
size on the implant packaging, e.g. 12/14).
►
Rinse, clean and dry the outside cone of the stem and, if necessary, the inside cone of the prosthesis spheres prior
to setting the prosthesis head in place.
►
Do not remove the protective cap until immediately before positioning the prosthesis head.
►
Attach the prosthesis ball and prosthesis cone to each other at room temperature only. If necessary, allow the
implant to cool down to room temperature.
►
Put the prosthesis ball in its position.
►
To prevent abnormal wear and tear of the prosthesis: Remove all obvious bone cement residues and bone chips
before closing the wound.
