The OrthoSensor Knee Balancer is inserted with
appropriate sized shim axed to replicate the
thickness of the selected trial insert.
In a tight knee it is often necessary to insert
the tibial baseplate and the OrthoSensor Knee
Balancer prior to insertion of the femoral trial.
In this instance, reduce the tibia under the
femur, then insert the femoral trial with minimal
impaction force.
NOTE: Excessive impaction force may damage or
negatively impact function of the OrthoSensor
Knee Balancer.
Do not utilize excessive force or impact the
Knee Balancer directly with a mallet.
