Event Description
|
The trial necks can be impossible to seat at times due to medial bone when the broach is below the level of the neck osteotomy.There is an option to remove this bone with the reamer, but that then commits the surgeon to that length of neck cut which when using a collared implant may be inappropriate.Again i am having made locally some neck trials that have the medial portion of the trial removed.This then allows the neck trial to be used even when the broach is well below the neck osteotomy.
