Tibial Preparation

Tibial Sizing

1. Determine the tibial implant size using the tibial viewing template.
2. Place the appropriate tibial drill guide or stemless tibial trial on the tibia.
3. Centralize and pin the tibial drill guide or stemless trial.
4. Drill through the stemless trial or place the 11 mm tibial collet in the drill guide and drill with the 11 mm tibial drill.If a 9.5mm drill has been used for the intramedullary tibial alignment assembly, only the 11 mm tibial punch is needed.
5. Punch with the 11 mm tibial punch. (Figure 17)
6. Remove the tibial drill guide if used and place the tibial trial onto the proximal tibia to assess coverage.
