The two piece set provides a combined bipolar and unipolar trial prosthesis instrumentation and comprises an outer component and a inner component. The outer component comprises an exterior surface characterized by a substantially hemispherical shape to correspondingly mate with a joint socket and an interior surface characterized by a substantially hemispherical shape, and an inner component that comprises an exterior surface that comprises a surface and that is shaped to correspondingly mate with the interior surface of the outer component and an interior surface characterized by a substantially columnar shape that correspondingly mates with a prosthetic stem.
