An orthopaedic surgical instrument system for use during a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial trial component adapted to be positioned on a surgically-prepared proximal end of a patient's tibia. The tibial trial component has a base plate and a central post extending upwardly from a superior surface of the base plate. A superior surface of the central post has a ramp surface defined therein, with the ramp surface inclining superiorly in the anterior-to-posterior direction.

Tibial trial system for a knee prosthesis and method

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system for use during a surgical procedure to implant an orthopaedic knee prosthesis includes a tibial base trial component adapted to be positioned on a surgically-prepared proximal end of a patient's tibia and an insert component shaped to be received in an opening defined in the tibial base trial component. The insert component has a base plate and a central post extending upwardly from a superior surface of the base plate. A superior surface of the central post has a ramp surface defined therein, with the ramp surface inclining superiorly in the anterior-to-posterior direction.

Tibial trial system for a knee prosthesis

Orthopaedic surgical instruments including a base trial adapted to be positioned on a proximal end of a patient's resected tibia, and a guide tower including a tower base adapted to be positioned on the base trial. A method of use is also described.

Surgical instruments and method for use in surgically preparing a tibia for implantation of a prosthetic component

A method of trialing prosthetic components of a knee prosthesis including positioning a femoral trial component on a surgically-prepared distal end of a patient's femur, assembling a tibial bearing trial component, and positioning the tibial bearing trial component on a tibial base trial component seated on a surgically-prepared proximal end of a patient's tibia. The method may also include adjusting the patient's leg with the tibial bearing trial component engaging the femoral trial component, and readjusting the patient's leg with the tibial bearing trial component engaging the femoral trial component after positioning the tibial bearing trial component on the tibial base trial component and a keel punch.

Method of trialing a knee prosthesis

An orthopaedic surgical instrument system that includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument adapted to be positioned on a proximal end of a patient's tibia, and a tibial bearing trial assembly configured to be coupled to the orthopaedic surgical instrument. The tibial bearing trial assembly includes a plurality of tibial bearing surface trial components and at least one shim.

Trialing system for a knee prosthesis and method of use

A method of assembling a surgical instrument includes selecting a tibial bearing surface trial component, orienting a shim relative to the tibial bearing surface trial component, and securing the shim to the tibial bearing surface trial component.

Method of using a trialing system for a knee prosthesis

Surgical instruments for use in surgically preparing a tibia for implantation of a prosthetic component

A method of surgically preparing a tibia for implantation of a tibial prosthetic component is disclosed.

Method of surgically preparing a tibia for implantation of a prosthetic component

An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly that includes a handle and a keel punch configured to be inserted into a proximal end of a surgically-prepared tibia of a patient. The handle includes a lever configured to secure the keel punch to the handle.
