Proper insertion depth of
the broach in the canal is
achieved when it seats tightly
within the canal based on
visual and auditory clues. The
surgeon’s clues to confirm
implant fixation include
increased pitch of sound
with blows to broach handle
and increased resistance to
advancement. Reliance only
on the neck cut may lead to
improper sizing, inadequate
component fixation, and
femoral fracture.
