Abstract: A method of performing orthopaedic surgery on a bone includes the steps of: preparing an allograft form including a plurality of allograft bone particles with a predetermined outside shape (e.g., cylindrical or implant shaped); freezing the allograft form; placing the frozen allograft form in an opening in the bone; and impacting the frozen allograft form within the opening to cause the allograft form to at least partially fill the opening. The form includes a cannulation hole extending therethrough.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an orthopaedic apparatus 24, 80, 380, 480, 580 for positioning an implant 22, 322, 422 relative to an end of a bone. The implant has at least one extractor opening 30, 330, 430 and a shoulder 26, 326, 426 with a slot therein. The positioning apparatus includes a shaft 32, 82, 382, 482 having a fixed impactor tip at an end thereof. The impactor tip is configured to be received within the implant slot. At least one clamping jaw is connected to the shaft, and includes a projection which is configured to be received in the at least one extractor opening. The at least one clamping jaw is preferably detachably connected to the shaft.
