3 Removal Surgical Technique chapter 1
Poly Insert Removal Option 1 To remove the Poly Insert, first install two large diameter threaded Steinmann Pins into the anterior face of the implant. With a pair of pliers (RR3034) pull distally on the Steinmann Pins in attempt to unlock the Insert from the Tibial Tray.
If the removal of the implant is required due to revision or failure of the device, the surgeon should contact the manufacturer using the contact information located on the back cover of this surgical technique to receive instructions for returning the explanted device to the manufacturer for investigation. Wire Pliers RR3034
Option 2 An alternative way to remove the Poly Insert is to predrill the anterior face of the implant with a drill no larger than 2.8mm. Using a pin driver, insert the Bone Removal Screw (IB200051) into the predrilled hole. Attach the Ratcheting Handle (44180025) to the Bone Removal Screw and pull distally on the Handle in an attempt to unlock the Insert from the Tibial Tray. Bone Removal Screw For both options a narrow osteotome may be inserted into the anterior region IB200051 of the insert to facilitate removal. A hemostat may be used to remove the insert once it is no longer locked to the tibial base.
Ratcheting Handle 44180025
4 Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique Tibia and Talar Components To remove the components, small osteotomes, power saws, or other surgical instruments may be used to disrupt the bone-cement interface. Care must be exhibited to save remaining bone stock as well as to prevent fracture. Once the components have been removed, rongeurs or small osteotomes as well as other surgical instruments may be used to remove the remaining cement.
Morse Taper Release Thread Morse Taper Release Pin (200356003) into Morse Taper Release Handle (200355). FIGURE 1 Insert tip of the Morse Taper Release Pin into the Morse Taper Release Hole of the Implant. Angled surface of the Release Pin should face distally.

8 Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique It is recommended to place a surgical bump under the Achilles prior to drilling through the C-Bracket. FIGURE 8 By placing a bump proximal to the talus, it will prevent the back of the heel from resting on the surgical table and potentially translating anterior in relation to the tibia. When properly aligned, the C-Bracket will place the 6mm drill inline with the tibial base stem. Verify proper alignment with a lateral fluoroscopic image. FIGURE 9

Press and hold in the slide lock button on the outside arm of the C-Bracket and slide the distal end of the C-Bracket assembly close to the bottom of the foot. Leave a slight gap between the heel and the Bushing Attachment to facilitate it’s removal. FIGURE 14 To prevent the C-Bracket assembly from binding while adjusting the length, push the bottom of the assembly in-line with the side rods. Also, sterile mineral oil can be used to lubricate the side rods. Release the slide lock button and tighten the slide lock knob to lock the position of the C-Bracket. With a skin marker, put ink on the tip of the Trocar (200099) and insert into the Cannula (200166). Insert the Trocar and Cannula through the Bushing Attachment and push the tip against the skin to mark the incision point. FIGURE 15

Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique 13 Remove the Anterior Mounting Plate and C-bracket Adapter from the joint space and slide the Bushing Attachment along the 6mm Drill until it contacts the bottom of the foot and secure to the calcaneus with three 2.4mm Steinmann Pins. Two pins can be inserted through the bottom holes of the bushing attachment (one medial and one lateral) with the 3rd pin in one of the top hole locations (preferably on the lateral side). FIGURE 21
FIGURE 21
Ream the Tibia Withdraw the 6mm Drill and immediately replace with the Left Handed Reamer Drive Rod (66500016) with a Jacobs chuck attached. Select the Hole Saw (66503014 — 66503218) based on the size of the Tibial Stem being removed. There are hole saws that are designed to cut around 14mm, 16mm, and 18mm tibial stems. Each size has a hole saw designed to cut around Left Handed Reamer Drive Rod a single stem FIGURE 22 and a hole saw designed to cut around two connected 66500016 stems. FIGURE 23 The taller two stem hole saws may be difficult to fit into the joint space unless the base stem is removed first.

FIGURE 22 FIGURE 23
14 Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique Using the Holding Clip (200381001 — 200381003), insert the Hole Saw. Using a counterclockwise rotation, manually thread the LH Reamer Driver to avoid cross threading. FIGURE 24
CAUTION: Do not use a Powered Drill to attach the Hole Saw. There is a high risk of cross-threading the Hole Saw using a Power Driver.
Tibial Stem Clip 200381001 — 200381003
FIGURE 24
With the driver in reverse, ream around the tibial stem in the tibial IM canal until the hole saw teeth reach the top of the stem. The four ¼” holes on the hole saw can be used as a fluoroscopic indication of cutting depth. When the hole saw has cut to the desired depth, there should be no daylight visible through the holes. FIGURE 25
FIGURE 25
Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique 15 With the driver in reverse, pull the reamer back into the joint space. The tibial stem that was cut around may have unthreaded from the other stems during reaming or retrieval.
CAUTION: Do not put the drill into forward rotation while the Hole Saw is still in the tibia, as it will become unthreaded and remain in the tibia.
The appropriately sized Tibial Stem Wrench (200380001 — 200380003) can be used to disassemble the Hole Saw from the LH Drive Rod. The Wrench must be oriented so that the distal label is facing the proximal end of the tibia to slide on to the wrench flats of the Hole Saw. FIGURE 26 With the Tibial Stem Wrench held in place, rotate the LH Drive Rod clockwise to unthread from the Hole saw.
Tibial Stem Wrench 200380001 — 200380003
FIGURE 26
Alternatively, an instrument may be placed in one of the hole saw’s ¼” holes to provide the rotational resistance needed to break the threaded connection between the hole saw and the drive rod. FIGURE 27 Remove the hole saw from the joint space.
FIGURE 27
16 Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique Extraction Wrench Approach The Extraction Wrench (66500022) may be used to break fixation of the entire tibial stem construct by jarring the construct distally into the joint space carefully. Resect the bone covering the wrench flats of the tibial base stem. The appropriately sized end of the wrench will engage the wrench flats. The system works best when the extraction wrench tip is positioned as posterior as possible. FIGURE 28

FIGURE 28
Provide Counter Pressure with hand
Position a hand on the extraction wrench as far from the patient as possible. Holding tightly to the wrench, impact the wrench proximally to distally with a mallet. Take care to not impact near the hand. FIGURE 28
An alternative method for jarring the construct requires the reamer T-handle passing through a 6mm hole through the bottom of the foot. Thread the T-handle to the distal part of the wrench. Pull distally on the T-handle to jar the stem construct free. FIGURE 29
FIGURE 29
If the Tibial Stems are successfully jarred free, please proceed to the stem disassembly procedure. If the stems remain well-fixed, remove the Tibial Base Stem.
Insert the X-Drive (200071) through the Bushing Attachment and up through the talus. Engage the X-Drive and unthread the stems from one another. Retrieve the released stem from the joint space. X-Drive Repeat the method of reaming the tibia with the Hole Saws over the remaining Tibial 200071 Stems. Where necessary, remove individual stems by disconnecting them from the remaining construct. Retrieve the disassembled stems.
Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique 17 Retrieving a Mid or Top Stem Piece from the Tibia Insert the T-Handle Reamer (200395) through the bottom of the foot and thread the Mid/Top Stem Extraction Tool (200102) in the open joint space. FIGURE 30 A size 14 Clip (200381001) is used to introduce the Mid/Top Stem Extraction Tool. Once it is threaded onto the Reamer Drive Rod, replace the Clip with a size 14 Wrench (020038001) to tighten. FIGURE 31

Tibial T-Handle Reamer FIGURE 30 FIGURE 31 Drive Rod 200395 Remove the Wrench and push the Extraction Tool up in the tibia until contact is made with the Stem Piece. Continue to turn the T-handle clockwise to engage the threads of the Stem Piece. A 2.4mm Steinmann Pins may be inserted bi-cortically proximal of the top stem so that the construct isn’t forced further proximal in the IM canal. FIGURE 32 Once threads are engaged, pull out the stem construct until the base stem is visible in the joint space. FIGURE 33
FIGURE 32 FIGURE 33
Place the appropriate size Wrench on the stem and turn the T-handle counter- clockwise to disengage the Extraction Tool from the Stem. FIGURE 34 Use the size 14 Wrench to remove the Extraction Tool from the T-Handle Reamer. FIGURE 35
FIGURE 34 FIGURE 35 If difficulty arises during retrieval, clockwise rotation of the T-handle may be used to further break fixation of the stems from the IM canal.
18 Chapter 1 INBONE™ Removal Surgical Technique Offset Wrenches The Offset Wrenches (66501216 - 66501418) may be used to disassemble the tibial stems in the joint space. Unlike other tibial wrenches, they may be rotated in a proximal or distal facing orientation while still being able to engage the stem wrench flats. FIGURE 36
