Abstract
A prosthesis alignment guide includes a guide body that has an opening that extends at least partially therein and a first alignment hole extending entirely therethrough. The opening is configured to receive a trunnion of a joint prosthesis for mounting the guide body to the joint prosthesis. An alignment member is disposed within the first alignment hole and is axially moveable therein. A locking member is engaged to the guide body and moveable from a first position in which the locking member is disengaged from the alignment member and a second position in which the locking member engages the alignment member and secures it from axial movement within the first alignment hole.
