  • Orthopedic trial apparatus
    Patent number: 11039939
    Abstract: An orthopedic trial apparatus (100) including an orthopedic component (110) having a distal shaft portion (112) positionable within a passage in a bone and a proximal shaft portion (114) extending from the distal shaft portion, and a proximal trial assembly (120) engaged with the proximal shaft portion of the orthopedic component. The proximal trial assembly includes a proximal spacer (130) component and a proximal trial component (150). The proximal spacer component is rotationally engaged with the proximal shaft portion of the orthopedic component to substantially prevent relative rotation therebetween about a longitudinal axis. The proximal trial component is axially coupled to the proximal spacer component to prevent disengagement of the proximal trial component from the proximal spacer component while permitting selective rotation of the proximal trial component relative to the proximal spacer component about the longitudinal axis.
