1. A device for use on a patient during surgery comprising:
- a. a distal portion;
b. a transition portion; and
c. a proximal portion;
wherein said distal portion is adapted to attach to an implement having a proximal portion, an anterior surface and a posterior surface, each surface being spaced apart from a medial-lateral plane through the implement; and
wherein said transition portion is angled toward an anterior direction and a medial direction with respect to the implement, said proximal portion of said handle being connected to said transition portion and extending in a proximal direction with a medial-lateral plane therethrough that is substantially parallel to the medial-lateral plane through the implement.

35. A method for preparing a proximal femoral canal of a patient during total hip replacement surgery, comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a device including;
1) a shaping instrument having a proximal portion, an anterior surface, and a posterior surface, each surface being spaced apart from a medial-lateral plane through the shaping instrument; and
2) a handle having a distal portion, a transition portion and a proximal portion;
wherein the proximal portion of the shaping instrument is affixed to the distal portion of the handle; and
wherein the transition portion of the handle is angled toward an anterior direction and a medial direction with respect to the shaping instrument, the proximal portion of the handle being connected to the transition portion and extending in a proximal direction with a medial-lateral plane therethrough that is substantially parallel to the medial-lateral plane through the shaping instrument;
b. inserting the device into the hip joint through a surgical incision;
c. shaping the proximal femur with the device; and
d. removing the instrument from the hip joint. - View Dependent Claims (36)

37. A method for performing surgery, comprising the steps of:
-
a. providing a femoral implant having a proximal portion, an anterior surface and a posterior surface, each surface being spaced apart from a medial-lateral plane through the femoral implant;
b. providing a device including;
1) a distal portion;
2) a transition portion; and
3) a proximal portion;
wherein the distal portion is adapted to removably engage the proximal portion of the femoral implant; and
wherein the transition portion of the device is angled toward an anterior direction and a medial direction with respect to the femoral implant, the proximal portion of the handle being connected to the transition portion and extending in a proximal direction with a medial-lateral plane therethrough that is substantially parallel to the medial-lateral plane through the femoral implant. c. engaging the distal portion of the device onto the femoral implant;
d. inserting the femoral implant into the hip joint through a surgical incision; and
e. disengaging the device from the femoral implant; and
f. removing the device from the surgical incision.
