Tibial Template, and Single-Use Tibial Insert Trial
are used to size the tibia, perform a trial reduction,
and assess overall component fit, ligament stability
and joint range of motion .
Once the surgeon has determined alignment, the
>
Single-Use Universal Tibial Template has multiple
pin-holes that can be used to secure the template in
the desired position .
If Headed Nails are placed in the anterior-vertical
>
pin-holes (applicable only to sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8)
of the Single-Use Universal Tibial Template, ensure
that the Single-Use Tibial Insert Trial is inserted
posterior to the Headed Nails .
Note: Do not impact the Single-Use Tibial Insert Trial .
In the event that excessive resistance is encountered
during insertion of the Single-Use Tibial Insert Trial,
remove, reposition, and reinsert the Single-Use Tibial
Insert Trial . Ensure all excess debris (bone and soft
tissue) is cleared from the Single-Use Universal Tibial
Template .
After trial reduction, the Single-Use Tibial Insert
