- installing a trial shaft to the proximal end of the distal stem component positioned in the intramedullary canal of a patient's femur,
- installing a discrete trial neck on the trial shaft, and
- rotating the trial neck relative to the trial shaft so as to position the trial neck in a number of different versions.
