Abstract
A modular femoral prosthesis for use during performance of a hip revision procedure includes a proximal body component, a distal stem component, and a locking bolt. Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting such a modular femoral prosthesis are disclosed.
Claims10
A method of performing a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising:
- implanting a distal stem component into an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur,
- installing a proximal trial instrument to the proximal end of the implanted distal stem component,
- rotating the proximal trial instrument relative to the implanted distal stem component so as to position the proximal trial instrument in a selected version,
- locking the proximal trial instrument in the selected version,
- uninstalling the proximal trial instrument from the implanted distal stem component with the proximal trial instrument locked in the selected version,
- installing a version-replicating instrument to the proximal end of the implanted distal stem component, and
- installing the proximal trial instrument on the version-replicating instrument with the proximal trial instrument being locked in the selected version.
