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. |

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 Elena |
