Abstract: A kit for use in performing revision surgery on a cavity in a canal of extending from a resected plane a long bone is provided. The kit includes a canal component fitted to the cavity. The canal component includes a canal portion having first and second ends. The canal component further includes a sleeve portion having an external periphery and an internal periphery defining an internal cavity. The kit also includes a first joint component having a body portion and a connection portion. The connection portion is fitted into the sleeve portion. A connection portion of a second joint component also may be fitted into the sleeve portion so that the external periphery of the connection portion of the first joint component is spaced inwardly from the external periphery of the sleeve portion of the canal component when the first joint component is fixedly connected to the canal.

Abstract: In a reproduction method for printing a hardcopy document with a highlight color printer so that the hardcopy document is printed with areas thereof printed with a selected highlight color imaging material and areas thereof printed with a black imaging material, which hardcopy documents may be subsequently optically copied as black and white copies on a black and white only optical reproduction apparatus, selected highlight color imaging materials which do not copy well on the black and white only optical reproduction apparatus are printed with a repeating optically distinguishable pattern in the highlight color printed areas of the hardcopy document with the same highlight color printer concurrently with the printing of the selected highlight color. The pattern is optically distinguishable by the black and white only document reproduction apparatus so as to automatically reproduce in the black and white copies made of the hardcopy document.
