A reusable orthopaedic instrument (10) includes a reusable orthopaedic trial having a first outer surface (14) and a second outer surface (16) that is opposite the first outer surface. The second outer surface includes a plurality of sidewalls (42) extending outwardly therefrom to form a cavity (40). A drain hole (70) is formed in the second outer surface at a location within the cavity. The drain hole extends through the reusable orthopaedic trial from the second outer surface to the first outer surface. Further, the second outer surface slopes downwardly from the plurality of sidewalls toward the drain hole.
