An impaction handle for use during a surgical procedure to implant a tibial tray into a surgically-prepared proximal end of a tibia includes an impact plate defining a proximal end of the impaction handle and an impact head defining a distal end of the impaction handle. The impaction handle also has an elongated shaft extending between the impact plate and the impact head, along with a locking mechanism to lock the handle to the tibial tray. The impact plate, the impact head, the elongated shaft, and the locking mechanism of the impaction handle collectively define a single monolithic metallic component.

An orthopaedic joint replacement system is shown and described. The system includes a number of prosthetic components configured to be implanted into a patient's knee. The system also includes a number of surgical instruments configured for use in preparing the bones of the patient's knee to receive the implants. A method or technique for using the surgical instruments to prepare the bones is also disclosed.

An orthopaedic prosthetic component comprises a fixation peg including a porous three-dimensional structure configured to permit bone in-growth. The porous three-dimensional structure has an outer surface boundary. The fixation peg includes a plate attached to the porous three-dimensional structure at the outer surface boundary. The plate includes a tapered body having an outer wall that faces away from the porous three-dimensional structure and is devoid of any openings.
