Abstract: An orthopaedic surgical instrument system that includes an orthopaedic surgical instrument adapted to be positioned on a proximal end of a patient's tibia, and a tibial bearing trial assembly, and a tibial evaluation component, and a tibial base trial component configured to be coupled to the orthopaedic surgical instrument. A tibial evaluation component includes a base plate and a generally Y-shaped posterior buttress extending upwardly from a superior surface of the base plate, such that the posterior buttress of the insert component is configured to be received in the opening of the tibial bearing trial assembly to prevent rotation of the tibial bearing trial component relative to the tibial base trial component.

Abstract: An orthopaedic system and method to assemble an orthopaedic prosthesis is disclosed. The system may also include prosthetic trial components, which may be used to size and select the components of the orthopaedic prosthesis. The system may include components of the orthopaedic prosthesis such as, for example, a prosthetic femoral component, a prosthetic tibial component, a prosthetic stem component, and a prosthetic sleeve component.

Abstract: Methods, surgical instruments, and associated systems of performing orthopaedic surgical procedures on a patient's knee are disclosed.

Abstract: A method of operating a surgical instrument for use in a knee replacement surgical procedure includes assembling a ligament balancer instrument assembly by selecting from a number of differently sized tibial paddles and femoral paddles and thereafter securing the assembled ligament balancer instrument assembly to a distraction instrument.
