Femoral Components

The femoral components are manufactured from CoCrMo alloy and are asymmetrical. They are identical to the primary TC-PLUS femoral components in terms of design, kinematics properties and bone resections.

The femoral patellar groove is deeply hollowed-out and present a 6° oblique patella tracking. The revision femoral component has a 6° valgus connection that allows the use of different stems.

To compensate femoral bone defects, distal and/or posterior femoral augmentation blocks can be fixed to the femoral component.

The femoral components, both the standard and the posterior-stabilised version, are available in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Concept / Description

The TC-PLUS™ Revision knee system is the revision version of the primary tricompartmental TC-PLUS knee system. In addition, the TC-PLUS PS Revision knee system is the „posterior-stabilized“ option of the TC-PLUS Revision and the corresponding revision version of the primary TC-PLUS PS knee system.

As the TC-PLUS Revision implants offer the same resections as the tricompatimentalTC-PLUS Primary knee prosthesis, this permits if necessary an easy intraoperative switchover from the resurfacing to the condylar revision knee.

The femoral and tibial components of the TC-PLUS Revision correspond, apart from the connection for the stems and the blocks, to those of the TC-PLUS Primary knee system. The tibia inserts are identical; therefore the femoral and tibial components of both knee systems are fully cross compatible. The range includes femoral and tibial components fitted with stem couplings; the corresponding Ti6Al4V stems for non-cemented application and in CoCrMo stems for cemented application. CoCrMo blocks are available to compensate femoral and tibial bone defects.

All stems of the TC-PLUS Revision can be combined with the femoral and tibial components of the TC-PLUS Revision. The same applies for the femoral components of the TC-PLUS PS Revision.

The implants are available in five sizes ( corresponding to TC-PLUS sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 ). Each size can be combined with the next size up or down ( see product overview from page 90 ).

Patellar Component

The all-poly ( UHMW-polyethylene ) patellar component has a symmetrical biconcave surface for better tracking.

The patellar component are identical to those in theTC-PLUS™ portfolio.

Tibial Inserts

The tibial inserts present a snapping fixation and is additionally secured by a screw.

The tibial inserts are identical to those used in the primary TC-PLUS knee portfolio, they are manufactured from UHMW-polyethylene and are available in six different heights of 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm and 19 mm for the ultracongruent tibia inserts and in seven different heights of 9 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm, 15 mm, 17 mm and 19 mm ( optionally 21 mm ) for the posterior-stabilised tibia inserts. The target is, independent to the degree of tibial bone substance loss, to be able to restore the joint line.

The minimum effective PE thickness in the load zone is6 mm.

Please see the available sizes in the implant table ( on page 59 ff ).

6

Tibial Component

The femoral and tibial blocks are manufactured from CoCrMo alloy.

In order to compensate different femoral and/or tibial bone defects, there are distal femoral blocks available in heights of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm, posterior femoral blocks in heights of 5 mm and 10 mm and proximal tibial blocks in heights of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm.

The same femoral blocks are used for both standard and posterior-stabilised femoral components. The same tibial blocks, except height of 15mm, are used for the medial- as for the lateral-condyle of the tibial component.

The blocks have to be assembled to the femoral and tibial components with screws and can then be cemented.

The symmetrical tibial component is manufactured from CoCrMo alloy.

In order to minimize polyethylene wear inside the tibial component, the base plate is polished on the inside and the insert is completely enclosed along its entire circumference.

The revision tibial component has a 3° slope connection that allows the use of different stems.

To compensate tibial bone defects, proximal tibial blocks can be fixed on the tibial component.

The tibial component is available in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Femoral and Tibial Blocks

Cemented Stem

The femoral and tibial components can be intramedullary anchored in the bone by cemented conical stems, made of forged CoCrMo alloy.

Available in lengths; 80 mm, 110 mm and 150 mm.

Zementfreie Schäfte

The femoral and tibial components can also be stabilised into the bone by using non-cemented cylindrical stems, made of forged Ti6Al4V alloy.

These stems are not suitable for primary anchorage; therefore they are not designed for osseo-integration. For matching the different patients anatomy, a wide stems range with straight stems, 2° valgus stems (for femur valgus of 4° or 8°) and 3.75 mm offset stems (placed 360° on the tibia), in various diameters ( Ø 10, Ø 12, Ø 14, Ø 16, Ø 18 and Ø 20 mm) and lengths ( 40 mm, 80 mm, 110 mm and 150 mm ) are available.

Please see the available sizes in the implant table ( on page 59 ff ).

Indications

The principal preoperative planning factor is the correct diagnosis. It has to be determined whether the bone and stability situation allow the implantation of an uncoupled prosthesis.

The main indications for implantation of TC-PLUS™ Revision are :

• Degenerative or posttraumatic arthrosis

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Avascular necrosis of the femoral condyles

• Joint destruction with restricted function and requirement for additional stabilizationwith longer stems andreconstruction of bone defects

• Marked contractures and axial deformity less than 20 - 25°

• Failure after surface replacement ( e.g. infection, loosening ) - Revision of a primaryprostheses

• Trauma - induced femoral or tibial fractures

ImportantDue to the design, it is possible to switch with relatively little effort, even intra-operatively, from theTC-PLUS™ knee system ( or TC-PLUS™ PS ) to the TC-PLUS™Revision knee system ( or TC-PLUS™ PS Revision ),since the resections and prosthesissizes are identical

Page 11: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

9

• Acute or chronic, local or systemic infections ( or in the case of a correspondinganamnesis )

• Severe muscle, nerve or vascular diseases that endangers the affected extremity

• Laking bone substance or inadequate bone quality that endangers a stable seating of theprothesis

• Distinct collateral ligament instability

• Pronounced genu recurvatum

• Axial misalignment over 25°

• All concomitant diseases that may endanger the function of the implant. These include inparticularextreme insufficiency of the knee extensor mechanism, which can lead toexcessive joint distortion; orsevere adiposity which can lead to a dorsal impingement,which leads to instability of the components. Inthese cases it may be advisable to use aconstrained rotating or a tumor prosthesis

• Patient hypersensitivities or allergies to the materials used

• Strenuous physical activity ( e.g. competitive sport, hard physical work )

12

Preoperative Planning

A full-leg X-ray with the patient in the standing position is recommended for preoperative planning purposes. If this is not possible, an X-ray of the thigh, including the femoral head, should be taken. The X-ray images of the knee joint at three levels should be available for planning the surgery. A tangential patellar exposure, a frontal and a sagittal to the leg axis exposure must be taken.

For preoperative planning there are X-ray templates available: with scale of 1.15:1 Lit. No. 1354 / 1355 and with scale of 1:1 Lit. No. 1511 / 1512 ( see page 89 ). The lateral view of the condyles is decisive. If these are no longer completely intact, it is possible to switch to the condylar width. In cases of doubt, the smaller implant should be selected to prevent the prosthesis components from protruding. In normal cases, the size determination and the correct positioning of the prosthesis are controlled intraoperatively with relevant instruments and planning may also be possible on the unrestored opposite side leg.

Important

The femoral and tibial component sizes can all be combined with the next size up or down ( see product overview on page 90 ff ).

Large deviations of the femoral neck angle as well as severe deformities of femur and tibia ( e.g. posttraumatic axial deformities ) must be taken into consideration during surgical planning.

In cases of deformities away from the knee joint that adversely influence the mechanical axis, additional corrective osteotomies may be indicated.

Planning the surgery using the radiograph

The following procedure is recommended for the anterior-posterior whole leg imaging process:

A Anatomical femoral axisB Anatomical tibial axisC Mechanical leg axisD Mechanical femoral axisE Tibial resection depth (mm)a Valgus angle

Post-opPre-op

1. The femoral axis A (anatomical axis) is drawnonto the radiograph.

2. A line is drawn from the femoral head to thecenter of the knee (mechanical axis D) on theradiograph.

3. The angle measured between the anatomicaland the mechanical axis = angle a determinesthe valgus angle.

4. The tibial axis B is drawn in and the tibialresection plane E is determined to avoid excessive resection, especially if defectsare present.

5. The component sizes and resection depths aredetermined preoperatively using the X-Raytemplates (see page 87) in anterior/posterior(A/P) and the lat eral planes.

6. The mechanical leg axis C should merge withlines D and B after correction.

Positioning of the patient for the surgery

Surgical Technique

In case of an implant revision, where components must be removed at the beginning of the surgery, Smith & Nephew with the RENOVATION Knee set, offers the surgeons a knee specific implant extraction system that contents different instrument options to facilitate the removal of different femur and tibia components (loose first and then extract).

The instrument set consists of a basic set (no. SAP 75210243 / 0944290) and sterile packaged, single-use chisel-blades and saw-blades (see surgical technique Lit. No. 04044 (2025)).

Surgery is performed whilst the patient is supine. It is recommended that the blood supply be partially blocked with the use of a tourniquet. But this is not absolutely necessary. The leg must be covered, so as to allow movement and secured to the operating table in such a way that the knee joint is brought into a stable 90° flexion position. Most of the surgical steps are performed in this position.

Surgical procedure

The skin incision can be a midline incision or a parapatellar incision. If there are scars from skin incisions made during previous surgery, it is advisable to use them for access in order to reduce the risk of cutaneous blood flow disorders. Medical arthrotomy is recommended, or an approach adapted to the pathological situation.

After the usual preparation (meniscus resection, removal of osteophytes and synovectomy if necessary), the cruciate ligaments are sectioned close to the bone.

Femoral size determination

The adjustable IM femoral drill guide is set to the planned size of the femoral components ( size marking «2», «4», «6», «8» or «10» ) and inserted under the quadriceps into the centre of the femur. The distal stop should be on the medial condyle. Make sure that the guide is flat on the anterior femoral cortical bone in the direction of the femoral axis.

Open the femoral IM canal with the Ø 8 mm IM drill.

ImportantTo ensure an optimal position of the femoral drill guide on the condyles, gently tap the medial/lateral (M/L) area, not the drill guide section of the instrument.

By using the femoral sizer («2», «4», «6», «8» or «10») the size is determined, sagittaly according to the inside / outside contours as well as ventrally according to the anterior / posterior resections and the medial / lateral contours.

Important

The line in the sagittal view of the femoral sizer shows the position of the femoral intramedullary (IM) canal, i.e. the position of the stem.

During measurement note the marks corresponding to medial and lateral «LEFT» and « medial».

Femur opening

Femoral Preparation

Access: Please refer to the relevant surgical textbooks for the initial access to the knee.

Important

In addition to the bone resections, it is important to correct any ligament imbalance by appropriate soft-tissue procedures. If necessary, a general release should be performed on the side of the contracture.

The leg is flexed and any osteophytes on the femur and tibia should be removed. This will provides good exposure of the knee joint, which facilitates size determination.

Page 22: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

20

The Ø 8 mm IM rod is carefully inserted using the modular handle to approximately the isthmus of the femoral IM canal and removed again. It is important to work carefully to prevent excess pressure in the IM canal.

The IM rod with the modular handle is now removed.

The femoral IM canal is opened further with the Ø 8/14 mm stepped drill. Note that the drill is positioned at the entry point of the femoral IM canal, previously determinated by the IM drill. The drill direction is along the femoral axis. Drill as far as the stop.

Important

The femoral IM canal, which determines the implants stem position, must be opened carefully (reference for the femoral position) to prevent the development of a relative extension position (risk of notching) or flexion position (projecting patella).

Preparing the femoral anchorage

Reamers are used carefully and in progressive stages ( starting with «Ø 10» ) to ream to the required stem diameter and depth.

Important

Reamers are available in diameter «Ø 10», «Ø 12», «Ø 14», «Ø 16», «Ø 18» and «Ø 20».The depth indicator is on the reamer: observe the recessed notch markings and the depths marked «IM» when using this technique «IM80», «IM110» and «IM150. The laser markings are for extramedullary use and are described with the corresponding surgical technique.

The 40 mm stem length is only available for extramedullary application.

When using cemented stems, the Ø 12 mm reamer is used to drill to the desired depth and the corresponding non-cemented trial stem is used. Cemented stems are available in 80 mm, 110 mm and 150 mm lengths.

Page 23: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

21

Controlling the stem position

An extramedullary reamer alignment guide, which is attached to the reamer, can be used to check the position of the stem in axial alignment and depth (the end of the reamer alignment guide corresponds to the tip of the reamer).

Preparing the femoral stem connection

IM positioning and control with trial stems

The stem connection recess is drilled with the Ø 10/20 mm stepped drill until the engraved marking «Femur» respectively «Femur PS» (corresponding to the joint line).

The chosen trial stem is attached to the extension for trial stem (Ø 8 mm) and with the modular handle carefully inserted into the femoral IM canal so the line marked with «MIN.» is approximately level to the distal bone resection. The modular handle is now removed. It is important to avoid putting excessive pressure in the femoral IM canal.

Important

With too short IM guidance, the alignment may be incorrect (varus / valgus, extension / flexion). Therefore the 40 mm trial stems can’t be used for the IM application!

Page 24: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

22

Locating the distal femoral cutting block

Before performing the distal femur resection, check that the revision femoral / tibial cutting block ( select the valgus angle «4°», «6°» or «8°» ) is perpendicular to the mechanical leg axis. By attaching the handle with the axial alignment rod on the femoral / tibial cutting block, the mechanical axis can be controlled by reference to the hip head centre.

ImportantIf the valgus angle is not correct, the femoral / tibial cutting block can be adjusted by changing the femoral bushing.

Select the femoral bushing, «4°», «6°» and «8°» bushings are available, in accordance with the angle � measured in the preoperative planning. The femoral bushing is inserted into the femoral suspension device, so that depending on which side is the operation, the mark «L» for left knee or «R» for right knee is visible on the arrow « ».

Important

Make sure that the femoral bushing is inserted in the correct ( «L» or «R» ) position. Adjustment and correction occurs with removing, rotating by 180° and re-inserting the femoral bushing.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is screwed to the femoral suspension device and positioned over the trial stem extension ( Ø 8 mm ). The handles can be attached.

Important

In revision cases, the 7 mm distal revision spacer for femoral condyle is attached to the femoral suspension device ( black plastic component in picture ). This substitutes the missing distal bone substance. The resulting resection remains still 2 mm.

Align the device with regard to rotation. Note that the removable handles are parallel to the epicondylar axis.

After preliminary drilling with the Ø 3.2 mm drill, from distal the femoral suspension device is fixed with a bone pin( 75 mm long ).

Controlling the alignment

Page 25: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

23

After preliminary drilling with the Ø 3.2 mm drill, the femoral / tibial revision cutting block is fixed with two bone pins ( 75 mm long ) through the holes marked «0». This position resects 9 mm from the distal femur, which corresponds to the distal thickness of the femoral prosthesis without femoral blocks.

Important

For preventing any conflict with the trial stem, the most lateral «0» pin hole of the femoral / tibial revision cutting block is preferred.

The bone pin on the femoral suspension device is removed with pin extractor. After loosening the fixation screw the trial stem with extension ( Ø 8 mm ) are removed using the modular handle.

The suspension device is now removed.

Important

The resection depth can be adjusted proximally and distally in 2 mm increments ( ± 4 mm ).

The side handles can be removed from the femoral suspension device and attached on the femoral / tibial revision cutting block.

Distal femoral resection

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is slid onto the bone. The distal femoral resection is then performed using a 1 mm saw blade through the «0» saw slot ( closed slot with facet ).

Important

For locking the femoral / tibial revision cutting block, an additional pin can be inserted into the oblique holes market with «AUX». After resection, the pin can be removed.

When using distal femoral augmentation blocks the resection is performed through the open saw slots. Augmentation blocks of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm are available.

Important

If there is an extension deficit, it is recommended to move the distal resection 2 - 4 mm proximally to adjust the extension gap. For hyper-mobile patients, a 2 mm smaller distal femoral resection is recommended.

Page 26: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

24

The distal resection is the reference for the following steps and has to be checked for accuracy.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block does not have to be removed yet because it will be used later (Depending the following chosen steps)!

The side handles can be removed from the femoral / tibial revision cutting block and attached on the femoral A/P femoral cutting block revision.

Locating the A/P femoral cutting block

The rotation can be adjusted visually in relation to the epicondylar axis with the aid of two bone pins ( 75 mm long ) which are inserted laterally into the A/P femoral cutting block revision.

The groove stone is mounted on the A/P femoral cutting block n trial stem is attached to the extension for trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ) and inserted into the femoral IM canal. The A/P femoral cutting block revision is placed on top.

Important

When using distal femoral augmentation blocks the corresponding blocks must be fixed on the A/P femoral cutting block revision. Respect the thickness ( «5mm», «10mm» or «15mm») and size ( «2, 4» or «6, 8, 10» ).

Setting the femoral rotation

Page 27: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

25

The rotation can be as well adjusted by applying anteriorly the femoral / tibial revision cutting block.

After preliminary drilling with the Ø 3.2 mm drill, the A/P femoral cutting block revision is fixed with two bone oblique pins ( 38 mm with head ) through the lateral 45° oblique holes.

The femoral / tibial cutting block is now removed.

Controlling the resections

With the resection stylus, the anterior and posterior resection plane and height are checked.

Important

In the case of over-resection or under-resection a correction can be made by loosening the groove stone and moving the A/P femoral cutting block revision. In this case the cleared position of the stem does not match the selected stem (a thinner stem must be selected).

A/P and chamfer resections

The anterior femoral resection is made through the closed saw slot with the 1 mm saw blade ( anterior slot with facet).

The posterior femoral resection is made through the two open posterior saw slots (slots with facet).

When using posterior femoral augmentation blocks, the resection is made through the open 5 mm and 10 mm saw slots.

26

Positioning the femoral reamer guide

The chosen femoral reamer guide of the previously defined femoral size is positioned on the prepared bone and aligned intramedullary with the femoral valgus adapter ( «4°», «6°» or «8°» ) and Ø 8 mm alignment bushing is positioned over the extension for trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ).

The femoral valgus adapter is inserted into the femoral reamer guide, so that depending on which side is the operation, the mark «LEFT» for left knee or «RIGHT» for right knee is visible on the arrow «ANTERIOR ».

Important

When using distal and / or posterior femoral augmentation blocks the corresponding blocks must be fixed to the femoral reamer guide. Note the corresponding thickness ( «5 mm», «10 mm» or «15 mm» ).

Note that only plastic hammers or the available plastic impactor may be used to hit the femoral reamer guide. Do not hit with metal instruments.

The femoral chamfer resections are made through the corresponding slots ( slots with facet ).

The A/P femoral cutting block revision is removed.

Page 29: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

27

The femoral trial is screwed with the femoral trial adapter ( corresponding to the preset valgus angle ) and the trial stem ( corresponding to the last reamer ).

The femoral trial is inserted with the impactor.

Important

When using distal and/or posterior femoral augmentation blocks, corresponding femoral trial blocks ( «5mm», «10mm» or «15mm» ) are available, which are fixed laterally on the femoral trial.

The trochlear chisel guide is attached to the femoral reamer guide.

The trochlear recess is prepared with the trochlear chisel.

ImportantThe label «ANTERIOR» on the trochlear chisel guide must be visible on the arrow «ANTERIOR ».

The trochlear chisel guide is removed.

Controlling the femoral resections and anchorage

The posterior M/L dimension of the femoral reamer guide corresponds to the M/L implant dimension. The external contour of the femoral reamer guide corresponds to the anterior lateral femoral flange contour, the anterior laser markings to the anterior medial femoral flange contour.

After preliminary drilling, the femoral reamer guide is fixed with bone pins ( 75 mm long or 38 mm with head ) through the anterior and lateral oblique holes.

Important

Be aware that the anterior bone pins must be inserted before the distal bone pins.

The trial stem and the alignment bushing are removed with the modular handle. The femoral valgus adapter can now be removed as well.

If a PS femoral component is required, the surgical technique for the posterior-stabilized version is performed ( see instructions from page 43 ).

Preparing the trochlear recess

28

Removing the dorsal condyle residue

Important: This must be checked in all cases!

After having completed the femoral resections, use the curved osteotome to remove all osteophytes as well as protruding posterior condyles. At this point, a posterior contracture can also be released. This will improve flexion and prevent possible damage to the polyethylene insert by these bony projections.

This is especially important for the posterior-stabilized version.

Important

The femoral trial is used as reference for resection of the bone with the curved osteotome.

The femoral trial can be removed with using the slap hammer. If necessary, can be left in place for protecting the femoral condyle during tibial preparation.

It is recommended to leave the femoral trial component assembled with stem and eventually augmentation blocks to be used as reference, respectively as comparison component when assembling the definitive implant.

31

Tibial opening

Open the tibial IM canal with the Ø 8 mm drill or directly with the Ø 8 / 14 mm stepped drill.

Position the hole centrally M/L and one third from anterior.

Reamers are used carefully and in progressive stages ( starting with «Ø 10» ) to ream to the required stem diameter and depth.

Important

Reamers are available in diameter «Ø 10», «Ø 12», «Ø 14», «Ø 16», «Ø 18» and «Ø 20».

The depth indicator is on the reamer: observe the recessed notch markings and the depths marked «IM» when using this technique ( «IM80», «IM110» and «IM150 ). The laser markings are for extramedullary use and are described with the corresponding surgical technique.

The 40 mm stem length is only available for extramedullary application.

When using cemented stems, the Ø 12 mm reamer is used to drill to the desired depth and the corresponding non-cemented trial stem is used. Cemented stems are available in 80 mm, 110 mm and 150 mm lengths.

Controlling the stem position

An extramedullary reamer alignment guide, which is attached to the reamer, can be used to check the position of the stem in axial alignment and depth ( the end of the reamer alignment guide corresponds to the tip of the reamer ).

Tibial Preparation

The leg is flexed and any remaining osteophytes and the intercondylar eminence are removed.

Preparing the tibial anchorage

Page 32: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

32

Preparing the tibial stem connection

The chosen trial stem is attached to the extension for trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ) and with the modular handle carefully inserted into the tibial IM canal so the line marked with «MIN.» is approximately level to the distal bone resection. The modular handle is now removed. It is important to avoid putting excessive pressure in the tibial IM canal.

Important

With too short IM guidance, the alignment may be incorrect ( varus / valgus, extension / flexion ). Therefore the 40 mm trial stems can’t be used for the IM application!

The stem connection recess is drilled with the Ø 10 /20 mm stepped drill until the larger laser marking ( corresponding to the tibial resection with the smallest 9 mm tibial insert ). The engraved marking «Tibia» correspond to the joint line.

Important

The laser markings «+5», «+10», «+15» and «+20» correspond to the augmentation blocks resection depth.

Locating the tibial cutting block

The two tibial resection guide IM components are coupled together by jointing arrow «» to arrow «» and pressing the button.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is attached to the tibial resection guide IM with the top small grub screw and slid completely onto the Ø 8 mm extension for trial stem.

Important

Ensure the lock lever is set to «OPEN» to slide in place the tibial resection guide IM. The lock lever is then reversed to fix the tibial resection guide IM in place.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is first lifted upwards by pressing the button so the tibial stylus can be attached.

Page 33: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

33

Setting the resection height

The alignment is checked again with the axial alignment rod. The rod tip must point to the centre of the ankle joint.

The tibial stylus can now be removed.

The resection height is checked with the resection stylus. The femoral / tibial cutting block can be adjusted using the large grub screw ± 6 mm.

Important

The top small grub screw is used for assembling the femoral / tibial revision cutting block only.

The tibial stylus is positioned on the tibial plateau. The tibial stylus can be used for both primary resections ( «11 mm» marking ) and for revisions resections ( «1 mm» marking ).

Important

In primary revision procedures, the «11 mm» tibial stylus is positioned on the lowest point of the less damaged condyle.

In revision procedures where no tibial augmentation blocks are required, the «1 mm» tibial stylus is positioned on the lowest area of the tibial plateau.

In revision procedures where augmentation blocks are required, «1 mm» tibial stylus is positioned on the lowest point of the less damaged condyle.

Controlling the alignment and the tibial resection

Page 34: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

34

After preliminary drilling with the Ø 3.2 mm drill, the femoral / tibial revision cutting block is fixed with two bone pins ( 75 mm or 100 mm long ) through the holes marked «0».

Handles can be attached.

The tibial resection is performed using a 1 mm saw blade through the «0» saw slot ( closed slot with facet ).

Important

For locking the femoral / tibial revision cutting block, an additional pin can be inserted into the oblique holes market with «AUX». After resection, the pin can be removed.

The ligaments must be protected during all resections.

When using tibial blocks the resection is conducted through the open saw slots. Blocks 5 mm, 10 mm and15 mm high are available.

The lock lever is set to «OPEN» and the tibial resection guide IM is removed from the femoral / tibial revision cutting block by unscrewing the top small grub screw. The trial stem with the extension are also removed using the modular handle.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is slid onto the bone.

Tibial resection

Page 35: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

35

The ligament tension in flexion and extension is checked with spacers. The tibial spacers («9», «11», «13», «15», «17», «19» and optional «21» for the TC-PLUS™ PS Revision only) represent the full tibial height ( tibial component and tibial insert ). The metal femoral condyle spacer, which represents the height of the femoral component, is attached to the tibial spacer.

Important

When using augmentation blocks the corresponding spacer blocks must be fixed to the spacer. Note the corresponding thickness ( «5 mm», «10 mm» or «15 mm» . These can be fixed either on the tibial side or on the femoral side.

The flexion and extension gaps are checked by inserting the spacer in the joint gap. If necessary further release or resection are performed.

Important

If distal and posterior femoral augmentation blocks of different thicknesses are used, using the femoral trial component is recommended rather than the femoral condyle spacer.

The mechanical axis can be checked by inserting the axial alignment rod in the handle.

To release the spacer blocks, a long pin can be inserted in the hole and used as a lever.

The two bone pins in the tibia are then removed.

As guidance for the vertical tibial augmentation block cut, two bone pins (length 75 mm or 100 mm are inserted into the two proximal holes level with closed saw slot. The vertical cut is performed between the two pins to the depth of the augmentation block.

Important

If the femoral / tibial revision cutting block is distally or proximally relocated ( purpose of thicker or thinner bone resection ), this is moved to the right (± 2 mm) or parallel (± 4 mm). Should the relocation be moved to the right, the vertical cut should be performed external to the right pin rather than between the pins.

The femoral / tibial revision cutting block is now removed.

Controlling the joint gaps

36

Tibial size determination

The chosen trial stem is attached to the extension for trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ) and with the modular handle carefully inserted into the tibial IM canal so the line marked with «MIN.» is approximately level to the distal bone resection. The modular handle is now removed. It is important to avoid putting excessive pressure in the tibial IM canal.

The tibial sizer handle with the axial alignment rod is assembled onto tibia sizer trial.

The tibial rotation is determined anatomically statically (orientation to the tibial tuberosity and the axial alignment rod).

After preliminary drilling with the Ø 3.2 mm drill, the tibial sizer is fixed with at least two bone pins two bone pins with head (25 mm or 38 mm) through the anterior inclined holes..

The tibial sizer trial assembled with the tibial slope adapter «3°» and the alignment bushing «8» are intramedullary placed over the extension for trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ) and applied onto the proximal bone resection. The tibial sizer trial should completely cover the cortex without projecting beyond the tibia. In case of doubt a lateral projection is preferred, because a medial projection may cause irritation of the pes anserinus. If the projection is not acceptable, a smaller size should be used ( pay attention to the combination! ). The correct tibial size is then determined.

Important

By use of tibial blocks, the corresponding blocks are to be attached to the tibial sizer. Note the corresponding heights («5 mm», «10 mm» or «15 mm») and side ( «Rlat/Lmed» or «Llat/Rmed» ). The 15mm tibial blocks are anatomically bent M/L and posterior. Therefore, the under contour is always a size smaller than the upper contour.

If an offset stem is required, see instructions page 39.

Setting the tibial rotation

Page 37: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

37

Then the tibia slope adapter «3°», the alignment bushing «8», the extension of the trial stem ( Ø 8 mm ) and the trial stem itself are removed.

The tibial sizer is additionally fixed with two or four bone pins with heads (25 mm or 38 mm).

Now the relationships are checked in flexion and tension position.

This manipulation is used to check the scope of movement, the patella guide and the tension of the soft-tissue apparatus.

The corresponding manipulation tibial insert, which had previously been defined with the joint gap spacer, is placed on the tibial sizer.

The manipulation femoral component is screwed to the manipulation femoral adapter (corresponding to the preset valgus angle) and the trial stem (corresponding to the last reamer diameter and depth).

The manipulation femoral component is inserted with the hammer.

Trial reduction

Page 38: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

38

Preparing the tibial medullary cavity

The test reposition is used to check the scope of movement, the patella guide and the tension of the soft-tissue apparatus.

The manipulation tibial component consists of the previously used tibial sizer, which is tensioned between the tibial stem holder and the tibial anchorage connection, and the trial stem (corresponding to the diameter and depth of the last reamer), which is screwed in place.

The manipulation tibial component is inserted with the hammer.

Important

When using tibia blocks, appropriate manipulation tibia blocks («5 mm», «10 mm» and «15 mm») are available. They are fixed laterally on the manipulation tibial component ( tibial sizer ).

See page 42 for the following steps.

The tibia rasp guide is positioned on the tibial sizer and fixed with the retaining screw.

The proximal tibia marrow space is definitively prepared with the tibia rasp.

The tibia rasp is tapped in to the stop.

ImportantThe small tibia rasp guide and tibia rasp are used for tibia sizes 2 and 4 («2, 4»), and the large for tibia sizes 6 to 10 («6, 8, 10»).

Then the tibia rasp guide and the tibial sizer are removed.

Trial reduction ( tibial component )

39

Positioning the tibial sizer for offset stems

When using tibia blocks, appropriate manipulation tibia blocks («5 mm», «10 mm» and «15 mm») are available. They are fixed laterally on the manipulation tibial component ( tibial sizer ).

The tibial sizer is positioned with the transfer guide so it does not project. It should in good contact on the cortical bone all round.

Important

When using tibial blocks place the corresponding blocks on the tibial sizer. Note the corresponding thickness («5 mm», «10 mm» or «15 mm») and side ( «Rlat/Lmed» or «Llat/Rmed» ). The 15mm tibial blocks are anatomically bent M/L and posterior. Therefore, the under contour is always smaller a size than the upper contour.

If the decision is made that an offset stem is not required, see page 36 for the following steps.

When the rotation has been adjusted, the tibial sizer is fixed with the inclined bone pin holes.

Important

The vertical bone pins must be inserted before preparation of the stem connection.

Offset Stem Option

Preparing the tibial anchorage for offset stems.

Page 40: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

40

Fixing the stem transfer guide

After insertion of the vertical bone pins with head, the transfer guide can be placed in the tibial component.

The transfer guide takes the offset position by clamping the lever and acts as a guide for assembly of the manipulation prosthesis and later for assembly of the implant.

Hold the transfer guide when tensioning the lever.

Now the transfer guide must be removed and the trial stem can be pulled out.

Important

Never open the lever of the stem transfer guide till the end of the surgery.

Insert the 2 plastic centering rings into the transfer guide (3.75 mm) for improved centering of the instrument.

Important

The 2 plastic centering rings must be inserted with the inclination downwards (see arrows).

Preparing the tibial stem connection and IM canal

After insertion of the tibia slope adapter «3°» and the largest reamer bushing «20», the preparation of the stem connection of the tibial component can be conducted.

Final preparation of the tibial anchorage using the standard drill Ø 20 mm and the tibia rasp (stem connection and ribs are prepared).

Important

The stepped drill Ø 10 / 20 mm cannot be used because of the eccentricity.

Removal of the guide and instruments.

Preparing the transfer guide

Page 41: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

41

Preparing the tibial trial

The corresponding tibial sizer with the matching tibial anchorage connection and «OFFSET» stem holder are mounted as the manipulation tibial component.

Important

Assembly is carried out on the instrument table.

The transfer guide (3.75 mm) is positioned based on the fins.

The manipulation tibial component is inserted with the hammer.

Important

When using tibia blocks, appropriate manipulation tibia blocks («5 mm», «10 mm» and «15 mm») are available. They are fixed laterally on the manipulation tibial component ( tibial sizer ).

See page 42 for the following steps.

The selected trial stem is fixed to the manipulation tibia eccentric adapter (3.75 mm).

Important

The position is set by the projections.

Finally the trial stem with the manipulation tibial component is fixed by a screw in the specified offset position.

Trial positioning ( tibial component )

Page 42: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

42

Trial reduction ( femoral component )

The manipulation femoral component is screwed to the manipulation femoral adapter (corresponding to the preset valgus angle) and the trial stem (corresponding to the last reamer).

Important

There is a danger that the same trial stem will be needed on the femur and on the tibia. In this case a shorter trial stem of the same diameter is mounted on the manipulation femoral component or a trial stem of the same length and smaller diameter or no trial stem at all is used.

The manipulation femoral component is inserted with the hammer.

Important

When using distal and / or posterior tibia blocks, appropriate manipulation femoral blocks («5 mm», «10 mm» and «15 mm») are available. They are fixed laterally on the manipulation femoral component.

The corresponding manipulation tibial insert is positioned.

The implant seat, the kinematics of the joint and the patella function are checked.

The final decision in favour of a patella replacement is made at this point (see instructions from page 46).

If the definitive implants are specified, the components are prepared for assembly ( see instructions from page 48 ).

The manipulation components are removed with the hammer, starting with the femur.

Important

However, we recommend leaving the manipulation components with stem and any blocks mounted as a reference. They are used as a check and as a comparison to the definitive implant.

Page 43: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

43

After the A/P and facet resections the chisel guide is positioned on the femoral reamer guide and fixed in place with a retaining screw.

The proximal limit of the box is accurately defined first with the femoral box chisel.

Posterior-Stabilized Option

In the case of complete insufficiency of the posterior cruciate ligament or if it is cut during surgery, e.g. with bending contractures greater than 30°, dorsal instability in bending position is possible.

A posterior-stabilized model (PS) for cemented application is available as compensation. It includes a revision femoral component which includes a box in the intercondylar region designed to accept a PS tibial insert with a higher pin. The movement of the femoral box on the tibial pin in bending results in the physiological roll-back and prevents displacement of the femoral-tibial contact point in the ventral direction (to the tibia).

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR PS KNEE REPLACEMENT

The PS case is also used for the posterior-stabilized type (PS). Preparation of the demur for receiving the box requires a box saw guide with the femoral box chisel and the drill with the PS stop.

Important

To prevent unwanted fractures in the femoral condyle during preparation of the tibia ( by Hohman support ), the femoral box and the femoral anchorage can also be prepared at the end after preparation of the tibia.

Preparing the femoral box

Page 44: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

44

According to the predetermined valgus angle, the corresponding femoral valgus adapter ( «4°», «6°» or «8°» ) is inserted on the femoral reamer guide.

The femoral valgus adapter is inserted into the femoral reamer guide, so that depending on which side is the operation, the mark «LEFT» for left knee or «RIGHT» for right knee is visible on the arrow «ANTERIOR ».

The reamer bushing with the smallest diameter («Ø10») is inserted into the femoral valgus adapter.

Important

Reamer bushings and reamers in diameter «Ø10», «Ø12», «Ø14», «Ø16», «Ø18» and «Ø20» are available.

Reamers are used carefully and in progressive stages ( starting with «Ø10») with use of the corresponding bushing, to ream to the required stem diameter and depth.

Important

The depth indicator is on the reamer: observe the laser markings when using this technique. The recessed notch markings are for the IM application and are described in the corresponding surgical technique.

When using cemented stems, the Ø 12 mm reamer is used to drill to the desired depth. Cemented stems are available in 80 mm, 110 mm and 150 mm lengths.

The box is prepared medially and laterally with the oscillating saw.

Important

The medial and lateral saw cuts are aligned at an inclination to make it easy to place the IM-guided femoral component (valgus) in the correct position.

Preparing the femoral box

Page 45: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

45

An extramedullary reamer alignment guide, which is attached to the reamer, can be used to check the position of the stem in axial alignment and depth ( the end of the reamer alignment guide corresponds to the tip of the reamer ).

Preparing the femoral stem connection

For reduction, femoral trials PS revision and tibial insert trials PS are available.

See page 42 for the next step.

The largest reamer bushing «20» is inserted into the femoral valgus adapter ( «4°», «6°» or «8°» ). TheØ 20 mm drill is then drilled to the stop to prepare the recess for the stem connection.

Important

Because the femoral stem connection for the PS femoral component is deeper, the specific Ø 20 mm drill with PS stop must be used.

Proceed with tibia preparation from page 31.

Preparing the femoral stem connection

Page 46: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

46

Positioning the patella clamp and patella resection

Determine patellar size using the patellar sizer. Supplied sizes are Ø 26, Ø 29, Ø 32 and Ø 35 mm. Note that the patellar component is implanted with a slight medial offset, thus matching the position of the natural patellar ridge. Small implant sizes are recommended for small patella to enable this offset to be reproduced.

Patellar Preparation

The leg is extended. Soft tissue on the posterior surface of the patella is exposed preserving the ligaments.

If the posterior surface of the patella is not replaced, the patella is freed osteophytes and denerved.

The patellar instruments permit the use of the « onlay » technique in which 10 mm of the bone are resected and replaced by a 10 mm thick patellar implant ( if an 8 mm thick patellar implant is planned, resect just 8 mm accordingly ).

An alternative option is the « inlay » technique, in which the implant is partially countersunk ( 3 mm to 5 mm ). Here, the patella is only resected approx. 7 mm to 5 mm below the ridge. The thickness of the residual bony patella should not be less than 12 mm. See also the« Milling » section on page 47.

After placing the patellar cutting guide on the patellar clamp with the ratchet, grasp the patella with the clamp. The patellar thickness can be read from the mm scale on the handle.

Adjust the patella osteotomy insert ( mm scale ) to the height to be resected and resect the patella with the oscillating saw ( 1 mm saw blade with unset teeth, see page 89 ).

Important

When resecting, ensure that the saw blade does not wander, e.g. due to sclerotic bone sectors.

Patellar size determination

Page 47: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

47

Milling

Trial reduction

Patellar trials are available for trial reduction.

Mount the patellar bushing onto the patellar clamp with the ratchet.

Select the patellar reamer to match the corresponding patella size. Depending on the selected anchoraging technique, mill briefly ( « onlay » technique ) or countersink by 3 mm to 5 mm ( « inlay » technique ). Milling down to the stop results in a depth of 5 mm.

Important

Patellar implants with a height of 10 mm are recommended as standard. Implants with a height of 8 mm are available as an alternative for thin patella.

Drill anchoring holes

Using patellar drill guide and the patellar drill with stop, prepare the anchoring holes for the pegs.

Assembling the tibial component

Assembling the Implants - Components

The assembling block is essential for safe and gentle assembling of the implants.

ImportantWhen assembling the implant component, always start with the stem first. Then the blocks can be fixed. Otherwise the block screw may come loose during impacting.

Be aware; if any screw or PE pin is missing from the respective component or for any reason is not sterile, a set of replacement screws and PE pins ( page 67 ) is available.

The prepared automatic hammer with adapter is placed on the stem. The stem is securely attached to the tibial component by three times impacting on the stem.

ImportantA stem connection with 3° "posterior slope" is integrated on the tibial component as standard.

The tibial component ( page 59 ) is positioned in the specified position on the assembling block.

The stem ( page 64 and 65 ) is inserted into the taper.

Important

Pay attention that the tapered connection is undamaged, clean and dry before mounting and by using non-cemented stems that a pocket is anterior, not a rib.

If an offset stem is planned, see mounting instructions from page 49.

Fixing the stem ( cemented / non-cemented ) to the tibial component

Page 49: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

49

Assembling by using offset stems

With the stem screw is the stem additionally secured.

ImportantThe stem screwdriver is intentionally slim designed and has to be used carefully.

The stem screw has to be tight with the provided screwdriver with torque. The required torque is reached when the line reaches the Stem/Block position ( 4.5 Nm ).

Important

The screwdriver with torque is maintenance-free. However, make sure that the marking is at Position «0» when it is not under tension. Otherwise the wrench must be returned.

The offset stem ( page 65 ) is inserted into the taper on the assembling block and set to the offset position with the aid of the transfer guide ( pre-assembled with the centering rings and straight surface on the elbow on the stem must be flush with the straight internal surface of the transfer guide ).

Important

Pay attention that the tapered connection is undamaged, clean and dry before mounting.

The prepared automatic hammer with adapter is placed on the stem. The stem is securely attached to the tibial component by three times impacting on the stem.

Then the transfer guide is removed.

Securing the stem

Page 50: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

50

Assembling the tibial blocks

There are blocks with a thickness of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm available for the tibial component ( page 63 ).

To enable tibial block assembly the required PE pegs must first be removed.

Important

The tibial blocks can be inserted either medially or laterally ( excepted tibial blocks size 15 mm ).

The tibial blocks are also fixed mechanically with the pre-assembled screws with the screwdriver with torque. The required torque is reached when the line reaches the « Stem/Block » position ( 4.5 Nm ).

Important

The screws are screwed into the block through the tibial component and must always be countersunk.

Assembling the femoral component

The femoral component ( page 59, or page 66 for PS ) is placed in the specified position on the assembling block.

Page 51: Surgical Technique *smith&nephew TC-PLUS™ REVISION · 2019-04-29 · TC-PLUS Revision knee system components are only designed for use with the indicated Smith & Nephew implants

51

Fixing the stem ( cemented / non-cemented ) to the femoral component

When using a 2° valgus stem ( page 65 ) the markings on the femoral stem connection and stem ( «4°» or «8°» ) must match.

The stem ( page 64 and 65 ) is inserted into the taper.

ImportantPay attention that the tapered connection is undamaged, clean and dry before mounting and by using non-cemented stems that a pocket is anterior, not a rib.

If a valgus stem is planned, see instructions below.

The prepared automatic hammer with adapter is placed on the stem. The stem is securely attached to the femoral component by three times impacting on the stem.

ImportantWhen using the straight stem the valgus angle is 6°. This angle is integrated into the stem connection.

Assembling by using valgus stems

Securing the stem

Blocks 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm thick ( 15 mm distal only ) are available for the femoral components ( page 61 and 62 ).

Important

When using blocks note that the femoral implants must be clean and dry. Note the corresponding size combinations.

The femoral blocks are also fixed mechanically with the premounted retaining screws with the screwdriver with torque. The required torque is reached when the line reaches the Stem/Block position ( 4.5 Nm ).

Important

The posterior femoral blocks are the same for medial and lateral use.

In the case of distal femoral blocks make sure that the correct blocks are selected for the desired position, because there are three different blocks matching the contours.

When using distal and posterior blocks, it is recommended to screw tightly the posterior block first and then the distal block. This is particularly advisable by use of a 15 mm distal block.

The stem is additionally secured with the stem retaining screw. The retaining screw must be tightened with the screwdriver with torque. The required torque is reached when the line reaches the Stem/Block position ( 4.5 Nm ).

Important

The stem retaining screw for retaining the stem is packaged with the femoral component.

53

Implanting the tibial and femoral components

The tibial component is tapped in with the hammer bent at 90°. Excess cement is carefully removed. While the cement is setting the implant components must be under continuous pressure.

The tibial insert of the corresponding size must not be placed until the cement has fully hardened. Ultracongruent tibial inserts ( page 60 ) and PS inserts( page 66 and 67 ) are available.

Important

Make sure that cement is placed between the fin connection and stem connection when using tibial blocks.

The femoral component is hammered using the impactor. Here too continuous pressure must be maintained and excess cement removed.

Important

Make sure that the posterior femoral condyles do not come into contact with the tibial component when impacting the femoral component. We recommend covering the tibial component with a compress.

Implanting the Components

Mix the bone cement according to the respective manufacturer's instructions. Clean, wash and dry the bone bed sufficiently. Modern cementing techniques using a vacuum mixer and jet lavage are recommended.

The TC-PLUS™ Revision knee is used with cement, with the exception of non-cemented stems. First cement the tibial component and then the femoral component.

Important

With sclerotic bone it is recommended to drill several holes using an Ø 3.2 mm drill. This improves anchorage between the bone cement and the bone.

Ti6Al4V stems: The backs of the condyles and the box walls of the femoral component are coated with cement. The back of the tibial component is coated with cement (back of plateau and box). The Ti6Al4V stems are not cemented.

Important

When implanting Ti6Al4V stems, pay attention that the rotations alignments of the femoral and tibial components correspond already when the stems are inserted to the definitive implant positions. This prevents unnecessary rib notches occurring in the IM canal.

CoCr stems: The medullary plugs are accordingly placed deeper. It is recommended to fill up the medullary cavities using a cement gun.

54

Last controlling

Prior to definitive assembly of the tibial insert it is possible to use the tibial insert trial for a final trial reduction.

Before the cement has set, the excess cement must be removed in extension.

Insertion of the tibial insert

The ultracongruent tibial insert ( or PS tibial insert ) is slid onto the tibial component and positioned bent at 90°. If necessary, use the tibial insert tapping instrument with handle.

Important

Note the correct anatomical alignment. It is important to make sure that no soft tissue is coming between the tibial insert and the tibial component.

55

If a patella insert is indicated, the patella ( page 59 ) of the TC-PLUS™ knee system is used, because the geometry of the patella cavity is designed for this implant.

The press-in instrument is mounted on the patella gripper with lock. The back of the patella component is coated with cement and the three holes for pins in the patella are filled with cement. The patella component is positioned manually with the leg stretched and pressed in with the patella gripper with lock and press-in aid in position. The excess cement is carefully removed. The gripper is left until the cement has fully hardened.

After manual placement of the PE retaining screw into the tibial insert, the PE retaining screw is tightened with the screwdriver with torque. The required torque is reached when the line reaches the PE position ( 2.5 Nm ).

Important

The screwdriver with torque is maintenance-free. However, make sure that the marking is at Position «0» when it is not under tension. Otherwise the screwdriver with torque must be returned.

56

Wound closure

The wound must again be rinsed out thoroughly after implantation. Close the wound in layers, inserting two intra-articular and one subcutaneous Redon drain.

Rehabilitation

The operated leg is immobilized in a splint and the knee joint is cooled. Isometric contraction exercises should be performed on the first postoperative day. Thrombosis prophylaxis is required until full load can be borne.

On the second postoperative day, after removing the drains, assisted movement exercises and the use of a motorized splint ( CPM ) are started. The operated leg can be generally bear a load early on.

Mobilization of the patient is initially occurs with a walking frame or crutches, which can be limited as steadiness of gait improves.
