A trial liner for use in a hip arthroplasty surgical procedure is disclosed. The trial liner includes a rim and a semi-hemispherical body attached to the rim. The semi-hemispherical body includes a concave inner wall extending inwardly from the rim to define a cavity, a convex outer wall extending from the rim opposite the inner wall, and an interior wall extending between the inner wall and the outer wall and defining an opening at an apex of the semi-hemispherical body. The semi-hemispherical body is adapted to deflect and modify the opening, when pressed against a head of a screw, to accept the head of the screw within the opening. A system that includes the trial liner and the screw, and a method for using the system in a surgical procedure, are also disclosed.
