1. A modular radial head system comprising:
- (a) a modular implant for replacing the head of the proximal end of a radius and for articulating with the capitellum of a humerus;
said implant including a modular head having a first lock member, and including an modular stem having a second lock member for coacting with said first lock member of said modular head to lock said modular head and said modular stem together; and
(b) a modular radial head locking instrument for locking said modular head and said modular stem of said modular implant to one another;
said modular radial head locking instrument including a first jaw, a second jaw, and a control mechanism for urging said first and second jaws together;
said first jaw having a distal end adapted to engage a portion of said modular stem and having a proximal end;
said second jaw having a distal end adapted to engage a portion of said modular head and having a proximal end;
said control mechanism engaging said proximal ends of said first and second jaws to provide offset axial compression of said modular head and said modular stem.

Abstract
A modular radial head system including a modular implant for replacing the head of the proximal end of a radius and for articulating with the capitellum of a humerus. The modular implant includes a modular head and an modular stem. The system further includes a modular radial head locking instrument for locking the modular head and the modular stem of the modular implant to one another. The locking instrument includes a first jaw, a second jaw, and a control mechanism for urging the first and second jaws together to provide offset axial compression of the modular head and the modular stem of the modular implant.
