An orthopaedic surgical system includes a sensor module for determining the joint force of a patient's knee joint and an adaptor for coupling various tibial trialing components to the sensor module. The sensor module includes a tibial paddle to which the adaptor is configured to couple. The adaptor and tibial paddle include structures that control the orientation at which the adaptor is attachable to the tibial paddle. Some tibial trialing components may be positioned over the adaptor in a mobile orientation that facilities rotation of the tibial trialing component relative to the tibial paddle or a fixed orientation that restricts the rotation of the tibial trialing component.

A system for use in an orthopedic surgical procedure including a container for orthopedic surgical instruments. The container includes a first shell, and a second shell configured to be coupled to the first shell to define a chamber therein. The second shell is configured to be coupled to the first shell in a plurality of orientations including a first orientation in which fluid is permitted to advance into and out of the chamber, and a second orientation in fluid is prevented from advancing into and out of the chamber.

An orthopaedic instrument includes a metallic load-bearing member and a non-metallic support structure formed integrally with the load-bearing member such that the load-bearing member is permanently attached to the non-metallic support structure. The non-metallic support structure enables the orthopaedic instrument to be lighter than an all-metal instrument while the metallic load bearing member provides wearability comparable to an all-metal instrument.

A surgical cutting guide is adapted to receive a cutting instrument during a surgical procedure. The surgical cutting guide comprises at least one body portion including a bone engaging surface. A plurality of separate plates are secured to the at least one body portion. At least one cutting slot is formed in the surgical cutting guide between the plurality of separate plates. The at least one cutting slot is configured to receive the cutting instrument and orient the cutting instrument for the surgical procedure. The at least one body portion is comprised of a first material, such as a plastic material, and the plurality of separate plates are comprised of a second material, such as a metal material.

A three-dimensional tilt ratchet mechanism that is able to rotate, pivot, and bend forwards or backwards with ease is provided. The mechanism includes a device for multi-dimensional movement and placement of a retractor blade which comprises a first member adapted to receive a stem of a retractor blade. The first member has a locking mechanism effective to enable selective lateral adjustment of the retractor blade relative to the first member. Also provided is a second member to which the first member is mated. The first member is vertically pivotable with respect to the second member to enable selective vertical pivoting adjustment of the retractor blade relative to the second member. A rotator indexing body is mated to the second member and is adapted to mount onto a rim of a surgical support. The second member is rotatable with respect to the rotator indexing body such that the first member, the second member and the retractor blade are able to selectively rotate about the longitudinal axis of the rotator indexing body.
