A method for preparing a femur for receiving a prosthesis can include positioning an intramedullary (IM) member in the femur. A femoral trial component can be positioned onto a distal end of the femur. The femoral trial component can have an attachment portion and at least two cut surfaces thereon. A modular boss assembly can be attached to the attachment portion of the femoral trial component. The modular boss assembly can have a boss stem that is configured to operably connect to the IM member. A desired contact between the femoral trial component and the distal femur can be confirmed based on the attaching. The femoral trial component can be fixed to the distal femur based on the confirming. The modular boss assembly can be removed from the femoral trial component. A reamer bushing can be coupled relative to the femoral trial component.
