An orthopaedic surgical instrument system includes a first broach including a first end configured to be separately secured to a handle and a tapered body having a plurality of cutting teeth defined therein, and a second broach including a first end configured to be separately secured to the handle in place of the first broach, a first tapered body extending distally from a second end positioned opposite the first end, and a second tapered body extending distally from the first tapered body. The tapered body of the first broach and the first tapered body of the second broach have a first outer geometry and the second tapered body has a second outer geometry different from the first outer geometry.

A method and apparatus for performing an orthopaedic surgical procedure on a femur includes attaching a proximal end of an intramedullary adaptor to an intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument, securing a distal end of an intramedullary adaptor to a base cutting block, inserting the intramedullary orthopaedic surgical instrument into a medullary canal using the base cutting block, and positioning the base cutting block on a distal end of the femur.

Femoral orthopaedic surgical instrument and method

An orthopedic surgical instrument assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes an orthopedic surgical instrument including a first surface, and a measurement gauge removably coupled to the orthopedic surgical instrument. The gauge includes an arm having a tip positioned proximal to the orthopedic surgical instrument, and a plurality of markings defined on the arm. Each marking indicates a predetermined distance from the first surface of the orthopedic surgical instrument. The assembly may be used during an orthopedic surgical procedure on a femur, which is also described herein.

A modular knee prosthesis system includes a femoral component having a stem, a plurality of different sizes of sleeves mountable on the stem, and a plurality of different sizes of augments mountable on the femoral component. The system is modular, and provides the surgeon with the option of distally offsetting the joint line by selecting the size of sleeve that will provide the desired joint line. The different sizes of sleeves have different axial lengths but share a common geometry along a substantial part of their lengths so that the same bone cavity will accept multiple sizes of sleeves.

Intramedullary surgical instrument

A method of surgically preparing a distal end of a femur for implantation of a femoral prosthetic component includes positioning a base cutting block and an intramedullary adaptor on the distal end of the femur such that a first end of the intramedullary adaptor is received in the medullary canal of the femur and the intramedullary adaptor is secured to the base cutting block, attaching a first modular cutting block to an anterior side of the base cutting block, resecting a first portion of the distal end of the femur using a cutting guide defined in the first modular cutting block, the cutting guide of the first modular cutting block, and resecting a second portion of the distal end of the femur using a base cutting guide defined in the base cutting block.
