Remove the head trial and stem trial, carefully insert the correct size stem by hand. If it is a curved hip stem, making sure the selected implant is an appropriate left or right style. The mark on the top of the trunnion of the neck indicates a left or right stem style by “LT” or “RT”, respectively. Strike the stem into femoral canal via the Stem Impactor until it is fully seated. Care should be taken to orient the stem with proper version during impacting. If it is difficult to impact the stem into canal, stop striking and remove the implant. Reassess the canal and remove additional bone by re-reaming and re-broaching process, and insert the stem again. Once the hip stem is fully seated in the femoral canal, a final trial reduction may be performed to re-evaluate joint stability, leg length, soft tissue tension, and range of motion by using the femoral head trials. Remove the head trial after the appropriate femoral head size is confirmed. Carefully clean and dry the stem taper, place the selected femoral head onto the trunnion by manual twist. Using head impactor, engage the head with the taper by several gentle blows until it is firmly set. Implant Insertion U2 Revision Hip Stem 6
