Abstract
In some embodiments, a surgical method includes creating an incision in a patient, exposing a multi-component prosthesis implanted in a patient, disassembling at least one component of the multi-component prosthesis, and coupling a first revision implant component to a first component of the multi-component prosthesis. The revision implant component has a body including at least one of a projection or an opening that is complementary to a feature of the first component of the multi-component prosthesis for coupling the revision implant component to the first component of the multi-component prosthesis.

A surgical method, comprising:
- creating an incision in a patient;
- exposing a multi-component prosthesis implanted in a patient;
- disassembling at least one component of the multi-component prosthesis;
- and
- coupling a first revision implant component to a first component of the multi-component prosthesis,
- wherein the revision implant component has a body including at least one of a projection or an opening that is complementary to a feature of the first component of the multi-component prosthesis for coupling the revision implant component to the first component of the multi-component prosthesis.
A revision implant component, comprising:
- a body including an upper side, a bottom side, and at least one side extending between the upper side and the bottom side,
- wherein at least one of the upper side and the bottom side includes a feature configured to engage at least one component of a multi-component prosthesis, and the shape of the revision implant component is different from each of the components of the multi-component prosthesis.
