A trial instrument assembly for use in a surgical procedure to replace an orthopaedic joint includes a trial implant having a stem portion for fitting within a prepared cavity in the patient's bone. The stem portion defines a stem axis. A neck portion is connected to the stem portion to protrude from the cavity when the stem portion is within the cavity. The assembly includes a plane guide that extends from the neck portion in a plane that is selected from (i) a plane perpendicular to the stem axis, and (ii) a plane parallel to the stem axis, for use in determining the location of the trial implant relative to an anatomical feature in a direction measured along the stem axis or perpendicular to the stem axis, respectively.

An instrument for gripping a cup component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis comprises a drive plate having a spiral track formed on it and at least two jaw members. Each of the jaw members has a formation on it which can engage the spiral track, and a guide in which the jaw member is a sliding fit. The formations on the jaw members cause the jaw members to translate in their respective guides when the drive plate is rotated.
