Patent ID: 8551179

Claim:
A femoral prosthesis system, comprising: a first femoral prosthesis, comprising: a first condyle, said first condyle defining a first articulating surface and an opposing first bone contacting surface; and a first peripheral wall spanning said first articulating surface and said first bone contacting surface, said first peripheral wall defining a first profile; a second femoral prosthesis, comprising: a second condyle, said second condyle defining a second articulating surface and an opposing second bone contacting surface; and a second peripheral wall spanning said second articulating surface and said second bone contacting surface, said second peripheral wall defining a second profile, wherein said second profile is different than said first profile; a provisional femoral component, comprising: a provisional condyle, said provisional condyle defining a provisional articulating surface and an opposing provisional bone contacting surface; a provisional peripheral wall spanning said provisional articulating surface and said provisional bone contacting surface; and at least one first visual indicator and at least one second visual indicator spaced along said provisional peripheral wall, said at least one first visual indicator visually representing said first profile of said first femoral prosthesis, and said at least one second visual indicator visually representing said second profile of said second femoral prosthesis.
