A modular femoral prosthesis for use during performance of a hip revision procedure includes a proximal body component, a distal stem component, and a locking bolt. Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting such a modular femoral prosthesis are disclosed.

Distal reamer for use during an orthopaedic surgical procedure to implant a revision hip prosthesis

Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting a modular femoral prosthesis during performance of a hip revision procedure are disclosed, and include a distal reamer operable to ream an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur during a surgical procedure. The distal reamer includes an elongated shank having a cutting head formed in a distal end of the elongated shank and a drive connector formed in a sidewall positioned at an opposite, proximal end of the elongated shank. The cutting head has a plurality of helical cutting flutes arranged in a geometry that corresponds with the geometry of the distal stem component. The drive connector has a female drive socket and a number of locking slots formed in the sidewall so as to open into the female drive socket.
