Zusammenfassung:A method of preparing an assembly for a surgical procedure while an implant is engaged with a bone includes mounting a first insert component, configured to mount to the implant with a first predetermined orientation, with a first mating component fixed thereto in a replication instrument at a second predetermined orientation, and determining an angular position of the provided first mating component with respect to the first insert component using the replication instrument. The first insert component and the first mating component are removed from the replication instrument and a second insert component configured to mount to the implant with the first predetermined orientation is mounted in the replication instrument at the second predetermined orientation and the determined angular position is replicated with the mounted second insert component and a second mating component.
