Offset Straight Dual-offset , Left & Right After the opening of femoral canal, proceed broach sequence for canal preparation. The UOC provides several broach handles that fulfill different hip replacement surgical approaches. A Start Broach can be a guideline for the direction of subsequent femoral broaching. Attach the smallest UTF Broach to the proper broach handle. Start broaching procedure along the axis of the femur and maintain the appropriate orientation of the broach. Gradually enlarge the broach size until the broach contacts the medial and lateral cortices or template size is achieved. Be sure the axial and rotational stability of the final broach such that a press-fit fixation of the implant will be predicted. Note: During canal broaching, make sure the broach is fully advanced into the canal, the most proximal part of broach should be seated in line with the neck resection surface. Utilize the Canal Finder Rasp manually to remove bone laterally beneath the greater trochanter. This step helps to guide the axis of femur for subsequent broaching and stem implantation procedures.
