Broaching the Metaphysis

Once the desired size and 60 mm proximal body
height has been achieved utilizing the STS/proximal
reamers, assemble the proximal broach body and the
distal stem trial together using the 3.5 mm hex driver
(Figure 25).
Note: To keep the broach aligned with the femur,
utilize the distal stem trial previously used.
Figure 25 Figure 26
Broach the proximal femur sequentially, until the
final broach size matches the last proximal reamer
used (Figure 26). Verify that the broach body is
advanced into the femur, oriented to the desired
anteversion and the 60 mm etch mark on the
broach handle is aligned with the tip of the greater
trochanter. Once the broach has been seated to the
desired level, remove the broach handle from the
assembled trial.
