Method and apparatus to identify coordinated components

1. A prosthetic assembly system, comprising:

a prosthetic member configured to be implanted in a natural anatomy to replace a portion of the natural anatomy being provided with a first identification feature, wherein the first identification feature is one of a color and an alphanumeric marking, the prosthetic member includes a second identification feature, wherein the second identification feature is one of a color and an alphanumeric marking, wherein the second identification feature is different than the first identification feature;

a first instrument operable to assist in implantation of the prosthetic member in a selected portion of the natural anatomy provided with the first identification feature;

a second prosthetic member including both the first identification feature and the second identification feature;

a third prosthetic member configured to be implanted in the natural anatomy to replace the portion of the natural anatomy being provided with a third identification feature different from the first identification feature and to distinguish the first prosthetic member from the third prosthetic member; and

a second instrument operable to assist in implantation of the third prosthetic member in a selected portion of the natural anatomy provided with the third identification feature;

wherein the first identification feature is configured to identify a matching coordination of the prosthetic member and the first instrument for performing a procedure and the third identification feature is configured to identify a matching coordination of the third prosthetic member and the second instrument for performing a procedure.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first instrument is at least one of a reamer, a liner provisional, a shell provisional, a face plate, or an inserter.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first identification feature is a color.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first identification feature is an anodized color formed on at least one of the prosthetic member or the first instrument.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first identification feature identifies at least a size of the prosthetic member and the second identification feature identifies at least one of a locking feature, a location of a removal feature, a hole orientation.

6. A prosthesis system, comprising:

a first prosthetic member having a first identification code, wherein the first identification code is one of a color and an alphanumeric marking, the first prosthetic member having a second identification code, wherein the second identification code is one of a color and an alphanumeric marking, wherein the second identification code is different than the first identification code;

at least one first instrument including a first reaming instrument or a first trial instrument including the first identification code and the second identification code;

a second prosthetic member having a third identification code different from the first and second identification codes and to distinguish the first prosthetic member from the second prosthetic member; and

a second instrument operable to assist in implantation of the second prosthetic member in a selected portion of a natural anatomy provided with the third identification code;

wherein the first prosthesis member and the at least one first instrument are configured to coordinate matching for implantation of the first prosthetic member into a patient, and the third identification code is configured to identify a matching coordination of the second prosthetic member and the second instrument for performing a procedure.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one first instrument includes at least one of a first trial acetabular prosthesis, a first trial acetabular cup, and a first trial liner configured to ensure appropriate sizing for a joint replacement in a patient.

8. The system of claim 6 ,

wherein the first prosthetic member is an acetabular prosthesis;

wherein the at least one first instrument including a first reaming instrument includes an acetabular reamer configured to resect selected portions of an acetabulum of the patient for the acetabular prosthesis.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first identification code is a color.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a first liner;

wherein the first liner includes the first identification code and the second identification code.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first identification code identifies at least a size of the acetabular prosthesis and the first liner and the second identification code identifies at least one of a locking feature, a location of a removal feature, or a hole orientation.
