An apparatus () for removing bone material comprises a distal cutting instrument () and a proximal cutting instrument (). The distal cutting instrument has at least one first cutting edge (), a shoulder (), and a shaft portion (). The shaft portion () has an anti-rotation feature. The at least one first cutting edge () removes bone material when moved in a first direction. The proximal cutting instrument () is removably attached to the shaft portion (). The proximal cutting instrument () has a first end portion () and a second end portion (). The second end portion () contacts the shoulder () of the distal reamer () when the proximal reamer is mounted to the shaft portion (). The proximal reamer () has at least one second cutting edge () and an aperture. The aperture is adapted to receive the anti-rotation feature of the shaft portion () of the distal reamer (). The at least one second cutting edge () removes bone material when moved in a second direction.

A system () for preparing a long bone for a prosthetic, the long bone having a long axis comprises a distal instrument () and a proximal instrument (). The distal instrument () is configured to remove bone from a distal portion of bone. The distal instrument () has a bone removing portion () configured to remove bone along the long axis of the long bone and a shaft () extending from the bone removing portion () along the long axis of the long bone. The proximal instrument () is configured to overlie the shaft () of the distal element () within the long bone. The distal shaft () guides the proximal instrument () to prepare the proximal portion of the long bone after the distal instrument () has prepared the distal portion of the long bone.

Method and apparatus for preparing bone for a prosthetic device

An intramedullary implant for mounting within an intramedullary canal of a bone is disclosed. The intramedullary implant includes a lower stem portion, an upper stem portion, and a modular sleeve body. The modular sleeve body is connected to one of the lower stem portion or the upper stem portion. The sleeve body includes an inner portion that covers at least a segment of the upper stem portion and has one or more longitudinally extending bone engagement members for engagement with the bone.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for clamping and reclamping an orthopedic surgical cable used in conjunction with an orthopedic implant device, a bone, and/or bone implant or structure. A sequence for a method in accordance with various embodiments the invention includes providing a surgical cable clamp and an orthopedic surgical cable. Next, mounting a portion of the surgical cable to the surgical cable clamp. Next, applying a force to the portion of the surgical cable so that the surgical cable is restrained or secured relative to the surgical cable clamp with a first tension in the surgical cable. Then releasing the force on the extended portion of the surgical cable so that the surgical cable can be repositioned relative to the surgical cable clamp. Finally, applying another force to the extended portion of the surgical cable so that the surgical cable is again restrained or secured relative to the surgical cable clamp.
