Abstract:
An orthopaedic surgical instrument system including a reamer assembly is disclosed. The reamer assembly includes a reamer head having a plurality of cutting teeth and a mounting bracket configured to be coupled to a femoral broach, which is sized to be positioned in a proximal opening of a femoral canal of a patient's femur. When the mounting bracket is coupled to the femoral broach, the reamer head is offset medially from the lateral edge of the femoral broach to resect a medial calcar of the patient femur.

Abstract:
An othopaedic prosthetic hip assembly for use during performance of a hip replacement procedure includes a femoral stem component having a tapered trunnion and a femoral head component having a tapered bore. Upon insertion of the tapered trunnion into the tapered bore, a taper lock is formed and a seal provides a fluid-tight closure.
Abstract:
An instrument for assembling an implant on a neck. The implant and neck being coupled via a taper having a taper axis. The instrument includes a frame having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the distal portion of the frame including a retaining member adapted to engage a portion of the neck. The retaining member includes a pair of moveable arms extending from the distal portion of the frame, the pair of moveable arms adapted to engage a pair of recesses on opposing sides of the neck. The instrument also includes a force applier retained in the proximal portion of the frame. The force applier includes a screw having a screw axis that is coaxial with the taper axis, wherein the screw is adapted to engage the implant. As the screw is turned, the force applier applies a force on the implant while the neck is held in place by the frame, thereby causing the tapers of the implant and neck to engage.
Abstract:
An orthopaedic prosthesis for use in a hip replacement surgery. The orthopaedic prosthesis includes an elongated stem component that has a proximal body, a neck extending superiorly and medially from the proximal body and a tapered stem extending inferiorly from the proximal body. An anchor is positioned on the neck and is configured to be engaged by a surgical instrument. A system for use in assembling the orthopaedic prosthesis and a method of assembly are also disclosed.
