Abstract
Disclosed herein is a humeral head trial, a system for humeral trialing, and a method for removing a humeral head trial from a humeral stem. The humeral head trial may include a first portion, a second portion, and a post extending from the second portion. The first portion may define a convex articular surface with a movable surface substantially flush with the convex articular surface. The post may define a first length in a first configuration and a second length in a second configuration. The first length may be greater than the second length. The post may change from the first configuration to the second configuration by moving the movable surface with respect to the convex articular surface.
