After trial reduction, remove the broach and introduce the stem implant by using the stem holder. The UOC offers an easily used Quick Connect Holder for stem insertion. Use the holder to firmly attach the stem via the inserting hole on the stem shoulder. Gently tap the holder to achieve initial stem implantation into medullary canal. Care should be taken to orient the stem with proper alignment and version during implant impaction. Note: Stop tapping the holder once the stem holder impinges with greater trochanter. Stem Insertion Trial Reduction Once confirming a firmly seated broach, assemble the appropriate sized standard or high offset Neck Trial onto the broach. Perform the trial reduction using the femoral head trial with desired diameter and neck length. Five sets of neck trial are offered mating with corresponding sized broach, the size 0 and 00, the size 1-4, the size 5-8, the size 9-12, and the size 13-14. Any correction of selected implant size can be made during the reassessment of leg length and joint biomechanics if required. 4 Caution : Quick Connect Holder is designed to position the implant, not for final impaction. Please impact gently to avoid instrument breakage.
