Abstract: An orthopedic assembly is disclosed. This orthopedic assembly can include a ring portion, a second portion and indicia. The ring portion can define an aperture configured to allow the ring portion to seat on a head of a bone. The second portion can extend from the ring portion. The second portion can define a slot that is curved along a first length. The indicia can extend along a portion of one or both of the ring portion and the second portion.

Abstract: An instrument assembly for a shoulder arthroplasty that can comprise: a cut guide having a slot for aiding a resection of a head of a humerus; and a positioning assembly configured to position the cut guide relative to the head of the humerus, wherein the positioning assembly is configured to couple to a reamer. The positioning assembly can comprise: a boom configured to position the cut guide relative to the reamer and the head of the humerus along a first axis; and an arm coupled to the cut guide and configured to be moveable to position the cut guide relative to the head of the humerus about the reamer in a second axis.

Abstract: Various orthopedic systems and techniques are disclosed. The systems according to one example can include a first portion configured to moveably couple to the first end of a body and configured to reference a first surface of the bone positioned to a first side of a longitudinal axis of the bone and a second portion configured to moveably couple to the second end of the body and configured to reference a second surface of the of the bone positioned to a second side of the longitudinal axis of the bone. Other orthopedic systems utilize an arm and a plurality shims. Each shim can be configured to couple with the arm and can reference a junction between a neck of the femur and a lesser trochanter of the femur.
