The baseplate connection portion is threadably attached to the baseplate, and is offset from, and connected to, the main body portion by a transition portion. A threaded member is provided for attaching the trial stem to the baseplate. The threaded member is mounted for reciprocating and rotating movement in the trial stem.

Offset trial stem

An offset, press-fit tibial stem system includes a baseplate, a main body portion, a baseplate connection portion attached to the baseplate and being offset from, and connected to, the main body portion by a transition portion. The main body portion has a first centroidal axis passing therethrough and the baseplate connection portion has a second centroidal axis passing therethrough. The offset is such that the first centroidal axis and the second centroidal axis are slightly spaced apart and substantially parallel so as to each pass through the main body portion.
