Claim:
In combination, an orthopedic component and a clamp for securement to the orthopedic component, comprising: one of a stemmed humeral component and a humeral stem provisional, said one of said stemmed humeral component and said humeral stem provisional having a stem defining a longitudinal axis, a fin extending radially outwardly from said stem, and a collar, said stem configured for receipt within a humerus, said collar forming an oblique angle relative to said longitudinal axis of said stem; and a fin clamp having a head and an arm connected to said head defining a longitudinal axis, said fin clamp having a first clamp surface and a second clamp surface, said first clamp surface being moveable relative to said second clamp surface, said first clamp surface and said second clamp surface separated by a clamp distance, said clamp distance having a first value that allows for receipt of said fin of said one of said stemmed humeral component and said humeral stem provisional between said first clamp surface and said second clamp surface, said clamp distance having a second value less than said first value in which said fin clamp is secured to said fin of said one of said stemmed humeral component and said humeral stem provisional by capturing said fin clamp between said first clamp surface and said second clamp surface, said head having a first angled surface corresponding to the oblique angle of said collar, wherein said first angled surface corresponding to the oblique angle of said collar lies flush against said collar of said one of said stemmed humeral component and said humeral stem provisional when said fin clamp is in a first position with said arm substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said stem.
