摘要：
Trial joint inserts (100) have posts (102) at different positions relative to the base (101). During joint replacement surgery, a surgeon can test different positions for a post using a trial insert, identify a suitable position for the post, and then select a permanent insert with a post in the desired position. The devices and methods in this application allow a surgeon to provide an individualized joint replacement for a patient. Joint inserts may be configured so the post moves relative to the base. The post may be adjustably positionable, may lock in place, or may be actuated by a resistance member such as a spring (1015).
