A surgical assembly for preparing a tibia for implantation of a prosthetic implant includes a tray trial adapted to be secured to a proximal end of the tibia. The tray trial includes a plate having a plate opening defined therein. The plate opening has a center point. The surgical assembly also includes a first guide adapted to be secured to the tray trial. The first guide has a guide opening defined therein. The guide opening has a first bushing-receiving portion and a second bushing-receiving portion which is distinct from the first bushing-receiving portion. The surgical assembly also includes a drill bushing positionable in either the first bushing-receiving portion of the guide opening or the second bushing-receiving portion of the guide opening. The drill bushing has a bushing bore extending therethrough. The bushing bore has a center point. The center point of the bushing bore of the drill bushing is offset from the center point of the plate opening of the tray trial in a first direction when the drill bushing is positioned in the first bushing-receiving portion of the guide opening. The center point of the bushing bore of the drill bushing is offset from the center point of the plate opening of the tray trial in a second direction when the drill bushing is positioned in the second bushing-receiving portion of the guide opening. A method of surgically preparing a tibia for implantation of a prosthetic implant is also disclosed.
