Abstract
A method of assembling an orthopaedic surgical instrument may include selecting a surgical reamer for use in resecting a portion of a patient's bone. The method may also include aligning an outer sleeve of a stem trial component with a distal end of a shaft of the surgical reamer. The method may also include advancing the outer sleeve into engagement with the distal end of the reamer shaft. The method may also include advancing a central rod of the stem trial component along a passageway defined in the outer sleeve into engagement with the distal end of the reamer shaft. The method may also include threading the central rod into the distal end of the reamer shaft to couple the stem trial component to the surgical reamer for use in resecting the portion of the patient's bone.
