United Orthopedic U2 Revision Stem 3 4 After reaming is completed, utilize the Broach that is 2 to 3 sizes smaller than the pre-determined implant size to shape the canal. Sequentially enlarge the canal with Broach and assess the fit and determine whether broaching and reaming should be continued, or having some bone graft at proximal femur is needed. Continue the reaming and broaching process until the ideal size is achieved. It is important that the final broach should fill the prepared femoral canal. Canal Reaming for a Curved Stem: When preparing the femoral canal for a 230 mm curved stem, utilize the flexible reaming assembly ( GuideWire, Flexible Reamer Shaft and Flexible Reamer Head ) to follow the natural bow of the femur. Advance the flexible reamer into the canal, making sure it passes through diaphysis. Fluoroscopy may be used to ensure the appropriate depth and direction during reaming process. Sequentially ream in 0.5 mm increments until the appropriate diameter and depth is achieved.
