Abstract
Orthopedic trialing systems include a stem, an adaptor and a trial member. The stem may be a trial or implant stem. The trial member may be a cup or head. The adaptor is used to account for the difference in the coupling of the trial member and stem and an implant member and stem. The stem has a first coupling feature and a shaft portion adapted to be received in a canal of a bone of a patient. The adaptor has planar top and bottom surfaces and at least one aperture therethrough. The trial member has a second coupling feature, wherein one of the first and second coupling features of either the trial member or stem extends through the aperture of the adaptor and at least partially into the other of the first and second coupling features for coupling together the trial member, the adaptor and the stem.
