STEP 7 PERFORMING TRIAL REDUCTION
With all bone surfaces prepared, perform a trial reduction with the appropriate size Femoral Trial, Tibial Trial Plate and Tibial Trial Liner. Insert the Femoral Trial Positioner into the corresponding lugs on the Femoral Trial. (Fig. 53)
Impact the Femoral Trial onto the femur by using the femoral impactor. (Fig. 54)

TECHNIQUE TIP. To help guide the Femoral Trial Component past the patella, place the leg in deep flexion to begin the insertion. Insert the long peg first. Then adjust the leg into the mid- flexed position, impacting the femoral component until it sits flush against the bone with both pegs in the correct position. Reposition the leg in deep flexion to complete the insertion.
