Fixation of the tibial insert
Place the impacting attachment on the plug
inserter.
In the extension position, fully insert the tibial
insert clamp by hand, in an anterior to poste-
rior direction, using the plug inserter with the
impacting attachment fitted.
It should end up flush against the tibial insert
and the tibial component.
Remove the impacting attachment from the
plug inserter.
To secure the clamp, insert the plug inserter,
in the 90° flexed position, into the anterior
tibial insert hole over the polyethylene plug.
Set the polyethylene plug in the clamp by
applying pressure until the stop on the plug
inserter is reached.
Important
If a tibial insert needs to be removed from
the tibial component, drill the polyethylene
plug to a depth of 6–8 mm using a 3.2 mm
drill and remove the clamp from the anterior
side. Ensure any tibial inserts that were
removed are not reused.
