Zusammenfassung:A trial neck (10) for hip surgery and a method of attaching a trial neck to a femoral canal preparation instrument. The trial neck includes a body portion (4) including a bore (8) for receiving a proximal end (64) of a femoral canal preparation instrument (60). The trial neck also includes an elongate neck (2) extending from the body portion. The trial neck further includes a locking mechanism comprising a lever (20). The lever has a first end (24) integral with the body portion. The lever also has a second end (22). The lever further has an engagement surface (26) located intermediate the first end and the second end. The second end of the lever is actuable to urge the engagement surface against the proximal end of the femoral canal preparation instrument to secure the proximal end of the femoral canal preparation instrument within the bore.
