ABSTRACT:
An improvement in a trialing system and method for use in connection with the implant of a prosthetic joint component having a first part for engaging bone at an implant site to secure the component at the implant site, and a second part for enabling articulation of the prosthetic joint. A trial first member corresponds to the first part of the component, a trial second member corresponds to the second part of the component, and an offset adapter facilitates selective coupling and uncoupling of the trial first member and the trial second member with the trial second member offset from the trial first member and placed at a selected angular orientation relative to the offset adapter. Thus, during a trialing procedure the trial second member is selectively released readily for replacement of the trial second member with alternate trial second members, and replacement of the offset adapter with alternate offset adapters, as well as facilitating the selected angular orientation of a trial second member relative to an offset adapter, as required in order to expedite an accurate trialing procedure.
