Milling
Mount the patellar bushing onto the patellar
clamp with the ratchet.
Select the patellar reamer to match the corres-
ponding patella size. Depending on the select-
ed anchoraging technique, mill briefl y (“onlay”
technique) or countersink by 3 mm to 5 mm
(“inlay” technique ). Milling down to the stop
results in a depth of 5 mm.
Note
Patellar implants with a height of 10 mm are
recommended as standard. Implants with a
height of 8 mm are available as an alternative
for thin patella.
Drill anchoring holes

drill with stop, prepare the anchoring holes
for the pegs.
