A kit () for use in performing joint arthroplasty is provided. The kit () includes a trial () and a reamer (). The reamer () is for preparing a cavity () in the intramedullary canal () of a long bone () with the use of a driver () and to assist in performing a trial reduction. The reamer () includes a first portion () for placement at least partially in the cavity () of the long bone () and a second portion () operably connected to the first portion (). The reamer () is removably connected to the driver () to rotate the reamer (). The trial () is removably attachable to the reamer ().

This invention relates to an orthopaedic joint prosthesis implant kit (). The implant kit comprises a stem component () of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis which is intended for articulation with a mating component of the joint. The stem component has a distal end () and a proximal end (), and a neck part () at the proximal end, and is configured for fixation in a bone cavity-using bone cement material with the distal end within the cavity and the proximal end at the opening of the cavity, and with the neck part protruding from the cavity towards the mating component of the joint. The implant kit further comprises a positioning kit (), at least one spacer () for location between the wall of the cavity and the stem component at its proximal end, and a delivery device ().
