Abstract: A femoral trialling kit and method for assessing acetabular cup orientation during a left hip joint surgical procedure and a right hip joint surgical procedure are described. The kit includes a trial femoral head having an inner wall defining a cavity extending along a head axis and a visual alignment guide on an outer surface of the trial femoral head and a trial femoral neck having a taper at a free end, the taper being receivable within the cavity. One of the taper and the inner wall has a first anti-rotation feature and a second anti-rotation feature, the first anti-rotation feature and the second anti-rotation feature being inclined, and the other of the taper and the inner wall has a third anti-rotation feature.

Abstract: A unicondylar posterior cutting block, method of use and kit of surgical components are provided, with the cutting block comprising: a base which is mountable on a resected proximal tibial surface of a knee of a patient in use; and a body pivotally attached to the base, the body including an alignment formation arranged to align with a marking on a femur in use, the body defining a cutting guide therein for receiving a cutting instrument to make a unicondylar posterior cut in the femur and wherein moving the alignment formation to align with the marking on the femur causes the body to rotate relative to the base and to tilt the cutting guide relative to the base. Different bases offer different cut positions and rotation of the base offers further different cut positions.
