Abstract: A trial neck for hip surgery and a method of attaching a trial neck to a femoral canal implement. The trial neck includes a body portion including a bore for receiving a proximal end of a femoral canal implement. The trial neck also includes an elongate neck extending from the body portion. The trial neck further includes a locking mechanism comprising a lever. The lever has a first end. The lever also has a second end. The lever further has an engagement surface. The second end of the lever is actuable to urge the engagement surface against the proximal end of the femoral canal implement to secure the proximal end of the femoral canal implement within the bore.

Abstract: A bone cement collector includes a body having a structure that is permeable to bone cement and has opening for trapping bone cement. The body is releasably attached to an orthopaedic implant component at a location on the implant at which bone cement is likely to escape during positioning of the orthopaedic implant.

Abstract: A drill guide assembly for determining the axis for drilling a bore to receive a component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, includes a drill guide having a sleeve and a bulb at one end of the sleeve. A frame, which can be fastened to the bone, includes a housing which defines a recess in which the drill guide bulb can be received with the drill guide sleeve extending out of the recess, in a direction away from the bone, so that the angular orientation of the drill guide sleeve relative to the housing can be adjusted by movement of the bulb within the recess.
