English term or phrase: stem
For a surgical technique involving a knee replacement device

I am doing the review, and there is a lot of confusion between lugs, pegs, plugs, pins, rods, broaches, rods... Also, it's not written by an English native. Thank you so much for your help.

Use the femoral impactor to ensure the coupling of the ***stem*** with the tibial plate by impacting with a hammer
Push the chosen ***stem*** into the female morse taper of the tibial plate.
If a ***stem*** is required to augment fixation, remove the polyethylene plug from the tibial plate.
If a ***stem*** is not required, slide the reamer tibial stop onto the tibial reamer until the reference “0” is reached
Set the tibial reamer stop by sliding it onto the tibial reamer until reaching the desired level, depending on selected ***stem*** length that is to be used.
