Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Disclosed is a novel system for trialing implants used in orthopedic surgery. In one embodiment, the invention is directed to a composite trial implant that employs a polymer substrate having a size and shape to approximate a bone plate, and radio-opaque indicia disposed thereon. The novel trial implant allows a surgeon to determine the correct size, hole configuration, and cross sectional profile with a simulated device, that permits more rapid and accurate selection of a permanent implant.
