<p>A template for use in matching parts (6, 8) of a modular joint prosthesis component to an image of a bone in which the prosthesis component is to be implanted, the prosthesis component including first and second parts (6, 8) which are fitted together to assemble the prosthesis component for implantation. The template comprises a first template part which bears an image of the first part of the prosthesis component, and a second template part which bears images of a plurality of the second parts (23) of the prosthesis component, each of the second parts (23) being a sleeve having a through bore in which, in the assembled prosthesis component, the first part (6) of the prosthesis component can be received. The second template part is connected to the first template part but can be moved relative to it so that the images of the second parts (23) of the prosthesis component can be aligned sequentially in relation to the image of the first template part (6) to form a composite image of the prosthesis component.</p> |
