Abstract
An orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly operable to taper lock orthopaedic components to one another includes a taper assembly instrument having a handle with a draw rod extending therethrough so as to be slidable relative to the handle and a clamp instrument configured to selectively engage the taper assembly instrument so as to move the draw rod relative to the handle. A sacrificial tensile bar component of the taper assembly instrument is configured to break when a predetermined load has been applied to the orthopaedic components. A method of using an orthopaedic surgical instrument assembly to taper lock orthopaedic components to one another is also disclosed.
