1. A reusable orthopaedic instrument comprising:
a reusable orthopaedic femoral trial including a pair of spaced apart condyles, each condyle comprising: a first outer surface configured to articulate on a corresponding bearing surface, a second outer surface that is opposite the first outer surface, the second outer surface being configured to be engaged with a surgically-prepared distal end of a patient's femur, a first side surface extending between the first outer surface and the second outer surface, the first side surface defining a first outer edge of the femoral trial, a cylindrical hole extending through the femoral trial to the first outer surface, and a notch defined in the first side surface and extending through the first outer surface and the second outer surface of the femoral trial, the notch being defined by (i) a pair of spaced apart surfaces extending inwardly from the side surface, each spaced apart surface extending between the first outer surface and the second outer surface and (ii) a second side surface extending between the pair of spaced apart surfaces, the second side surface defining a second outer edge of the femoral trial, wherein the pair of spaced surfaces define a width of the notch extending in a medial-lateral direction and the second side surface defines a length of the notch extending in an anterior-posterior direction, the length of the notch being greater than the width of the notch. |
