English term or phrase: trial reduction

Could you please explain me what a "trial reduction" is?

Total Hip Prosthesis, Total Elbow Prosthesis, Total Knee Prosthesis

Utilization and Implantation
· The recommended trial components should be used for size determination, canal preparation evaluation, trial reduction and range of motion evaluation, thus preserving the integrity of the actual implants and their sterile packaging.
· Radiographic templates are available to assist in the preoperative prediction of component size and style.

attempt to acommodate the prosthesis in place, as you would with a dislocated joint bone

Explanation:
Hi Barbara

"To reduce" is the Orthopedics term for "to put back into place", referred to the ends of a fractured bone or to the components of a dislocated joint.

In your text, they're talking about testing (with a trial) the 2 components of the prosthesis (or a prosthetic component plus the human joint) to see if they can make them fit, before permanent positioning/fixation.

Good luck

what I understand it to mean is this:

Explanation:
trial components (as opposed to the actual permanent implant) should be used
- to determine the size to be used,
- to evaluate the canal preparation required,
- to evaluate the range of and reduction in motion during the trial thus preserving the integrity of the actual implants and their sterile packaging.
