Mounting the trial implant of the selected size on the handle
►
Turn locking pipes 11 of handle 2 to "open" position
►
Mount the trial implant with the selected size, height and shape onto the handle 2. Note the "CRANIAL" and
"CAUDAL" markings on the handle and on the trial implant.
►
Turn locking pipes 11 of handle 2 to "closed" position .
►
Check the trial implant for firm seating.
Compression of the spinal canal and of other posterior elements caused by trial
implants inserted too deeply!
►
Prior to insertion of trial implants, adjust the depth stop to minimum insertion
depth.
WARNING
►
Insert trial implants in the intervertebral space under X-ray control.
►
Use adjusting wheel 12 to set the depth stop of the trial implant to minimum insertion depth.
►
Insert the trial implant in the intervertebral space under X-ray control. Ensure correct cranial and caudal align-
ment of the trial implant.
►
Align the markings of the trial implant center to the midline marking.
►
If necessary, correct the position of the depth stop with adjusting wheel 12 until the intended position is reached.
Ensure that depth stop abuts to the anterior edge of the vertebral body.
Increased risk of migration if the selected implant size is too small!
►
Select the trial implant or implant size, respectively, to achieve maximum cov-
erage of the vertebral body endplates.
►
On the X-ray, in AP and lateral view, check to ensure that the size, position
WARNING
and alignment of the trial implant are correct.
Irritation of the facet joints and strain on spinal cord and nerve roots due to
excessive or insufficient distraction!
►
Select the correct trial implant/ implant height.
►
Check for correct height of the trial implant in a lateral X-ray.
WARNING
►
On the intraoperative X-ray image, in AP and lateral view, check the size, height and position of the trial implant.
►
With the trial implant properly positioned, turn locking pipes 11 to "open" position
fully in axial direction from the trial implant.
The trial implant remains in the intervertebral space.
Note
The fin bed can either by prepared by reaming or chiseling. This can be carried out either with the reamer guide with
