Abstract:
1. A system for facilitating implant selection, the system comprising: a plurality of modular neck components for hip implants including at least one subset in which at least one of a first, second, and third implant variable associated with a respective different physical characteristic of the modular neck components is constant and at least another of the first, second, and third implant variables varies within each said subset; and at least one case including a first plurality of receptacles and a second plurality of receptacles with an axis of symmetry occurring between said first plurality of receptacles and said second plurality of receptacles, each said receptacle in said first plurality of receptacles configured to receive a corresponding one of said plurality of modular neck components from a first group of modular neck components and each said receptacle in said second plurality of receptacles configured to receive a corresponding one of said plurality of modular neck components from a second group of modular neck components, said receptacles in said first plurality of receptacles having different shapes respectively corresponding to differing shapes of said plurality of modular neck components from said first group of modular neck components, and said receptacles in said second plurality of receptacles having different shapes respectively corresponding to differing shapes of said plurality of modular neck components from said second group of modular neck components to facilitate selection of one of said plurality of modular neck components based on the at least one implant variable that varies within each said subset.
