PHYSICA ZUK SURGICAL TECHNIQUE Step 8 | Implant Final Components
FEMORAL COMPONENT Apply cement on all cut bone surfaces and start the femoral component and position the knee in deep flexion. Insert the posterior long peg first. Adjust the leg to a mid- flexion position, rotating the implant around and behind the patella. Then reposition the leg in deep flexion and impact the femoral component with the Femoral Component Impactor until proper seating against the bone is achieved. (Fig. 61) TIBIAL ARTICULAR SURFACE After the cement has cured, proceed with the placement of the tibial liner. Confirm the correct size and thickness of the final tibial articular surface by first testing with the Tibial Trial Liner in flexion and extension. Slide the edge of the articular surface under the posterior lip of the baseplate. Then use a mallet and the Tibial Liner Impactor to impact the Tibial Liner into the Tibial Baseplate. (Fig. 62)
