A system of surgical instruments for use with at least a first implant and a second implant of the same type but different sizes is provided. The system includes at least three containers. The first container contains at least a first surgical instrument of a first type that is size specific and a second surgical instrument of a second type that is size specific; both the first and second instruments are of a first size The second container contains at least a third surgical instrument of the first type and a fourth surgical instrument of the second type; both the third and fourth instruments are of a second size which is different from the first size. The third container contains at least a fifth surgical instrument of a third type which is size independent.

A femoral instrument for use in the intramedullary canal is described and includes an intramedullary rod having a tip at a free end. A body is attached to the intramedullary rod and has a face with a bone abutting portion. A centralizer mechanism is located within the rod and is operable to deploy and retract a plurality of members to engage and disengage an inner surface of the intramedullary canal. The length of the intramedullary rod from the tip to the face of the body is less than 30 cm. The instrument can also include an angular adjustment mechanism. The angular adjustment mechanism can have a plurality of formations and can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the intramedullary rod to present at least a one of the formations to abut a portion of the body to define the relative angle between the body and the intramedullary rod.

Intramedullary rod instrument

A surgical instrument is described which comprises an alignment guide having a first part including a distal end and a second part having a proximal end. The first part is attached to the second part by a pivot mechanism so that the first part can be tilted relative to the second part. A brace is attached toward the proximal end of the alignment guide for attaching the instrument to a limb of a patient. A component is attached toward the distal end of the alignment guide. The pivot mechanism is configured so that tilting the first part does not substantially change the separation between the component and the brace.
