STEP 1: SURGICAL APPROACH
All standard approaches that provide adequate access for Total Hip Replacement are acceptable.

• Start reaming close to the transverse acetabular ligament as this will compensate for the drift

• Ream until a circumferential grip is achieved with the reamer (the assessment of the reamed cavity
should always be made with the trials, since variation between reamers is too great to use them as a
reliable indicator of press-fit).
• Hard (sclerotic) bone is likely to lead to a requirement for ‘line to line’ reaming (please remember there
is no additional fixation option available with this device).

STEP 4: ACETABULAR CUP TRIALLING
AND POSITIONING
Note
Trialing is essential prior to insertion of the definitive device. The trial is smaller than the definitive cup
implant and a good guide for cup positioning, marking the cup depth and the first step to making sure
the definitive component will achieve stability.
• Whilst trialing deal with osteophytes that could inhibit straight shot entry into the acetabulum
(typically on the anterior rim).
• The height/depth of the trial in relation to the definitive implant is 0.5 mm smaller and is therefore
1 mm smaller in diameter
• Mark position of final cup using diathermy to mark depth, version and abduction to help
with definitive cup placement.
• To avoid damaging the press fit aperture, attach a slap hammer and remove the trial on the same axis
as you plan to introduce the definitive cup.

Note
Do not separate

first assessing
cup orientation.
• With increased experience with this device, you may be able to detect an audible pitch change during
the definitive cup impaction to help you understand when the cup is fully seated.
• Ensure definitive cup is positioned as was observed with the cup trial.
• Line up with previously made electrocautery marks made during trialling if carried out.

STEP 8: PREPARING THE FEMUR
Prepare the femur for the chosen DePuy Synthes femoral stem as described in the relevant surgical
technique. Do not implant the final stem but leave the trial stem/rasp in its final position for the trial
reduction and cup alignment procedures, described in the following sections.

Trial Reduction
Reduce the hip. Assess ROM, stability and leg

achieve correct soft tissue tension and repeat the
procedure. Record the offset marked on the final
Neck Trial Sleeve used (S, M, L or XL); this will be
the offset of the definitive head.

Warning
Do not handle
either the
head taper or
sleeve prior
to assembly
and ensure all
mating surfaces
are kept clean
and dry. The
presence of
foreign material
on any mating
surface can
increase the
load on ceramic

resulting in
failure or taper
lock corrosion.
Remove all outer packaging and assemble the head and sleeve using the plastic tray provided with the
component. Check both the outer surface of the sleeve, and inner taper in the head are clean
and free from any packaging material or other debris. Carefully place the head over the sleeve and
press down firmly until resistance is felt. It is essential that the head is not tilted or placed at an
angle on the sleeve to ensure proper seating.
22
Attach the Head
Care must be taken when placing the assembled
head and sleeve on the femoral stem: Mating
surfaces must be thoroughly dry and free of
any foreign matter (e.g. blood, bone or other
body tissue, metal or cement particles).
Reduce the hip, taking great care to avoid either scraping the head along the cup rim, or allowing impact
between the ceramic components: The plastic Hip Slider provided may be used to ease the head into the
ceramic cup liner.
