Intervento alla spalla, HUMERAL CANAL PREPARATION

Start preparing the canal by lightly hammering on the anvil. Stop hammering when the superior plane of the broach is aligned with the humeral resection. Continue broaching with incrementally larger sizes. The largest size that fits with its proximal portion fully seated in the canal determines the final stem size.

Cos'è anvil in questo contesto? temo che sia un termine usato in modo scorretto. Anvil di solito negli strumentari si riferisce a un tipo di pinze :-( Grazie in anticipo!
