ABSTRACT:
A kit (100) for use in performing joint arthroplasty on a head of a long bone (4) is provided. The kit (100) includes a first trial (102) including a first trial articulating surface (106) and an opposed first trial mounting surface (108) having a first trial location feature (110). The kit (100) also includes a second trial (104) including a second trial articulating surface (112) and an opposed second trial mounting surface (114) having a second trial location feature (116). The first trial articulating surface (106) and the second trial articulating surface (112) have different geometries and the first trial location feature (110) and the second trial location feature (116) have substantially identical geometries whereby different trials may be used with a common location feature.
