Smith & Nephew RT-PLUS - Preparing the Femoral Box (EM)

23
Preparing the femoral box (EM)
Use the centring template to position the
femoral box saw guide and femoral compo-
nent mediolaterally. Insert the template
through the anterior saw slot of the A/P
femoral cutting block based on femoral size,
to make a mark (e.g., using electrocautery or
a pin) on the anterior cortical bone.
Important
To improve support for the Hohmann, we
recommend preparing the femoral box after
tibial preparation.
Anterior bone substance must be available
for this procedure!
Remove the A/P femoral revision cutting
block and check the femoral resections.
