ABSTRACT:
A variety of surgical instruments facilitate implantation of a femoral stem component of an implantable prosthesis. A skeletal member is prepared by securing a reamer in the member. A broach is mounted on the reamer for broaching the member. A variety of adapters are selectively used with a head trial to check for location of the head trial. After trial placement is satisfactory, the instruments are removed so that the prosthesis can be implanted.
