摘要：
Surgical instruments and methods for use in implanting a modular femoral prosthesis during performance of a hip revision procedure are disclosed, and include a distal reamer operable to ream an intramedullary canal of a patient's femur during a surgical procedure. The distal reamer includes an elongated shank having a cutting head formed in a distal end of the elongated shank and a drive connector formed in a sidewall positioned at an opposite, proximal end of the elongated shank. The cutting head has a plurality of helical cutting flutes arranged in a geometry that corresponds with the geometry of the distal stem component. The drive connector has a female drive socket and a number of locking slots formed in the sidewall so as to open into the female drive socket.
