1. A kit for use in selecting a femoral neck component of an orthopaedic joint prosthesis, the kit comprising:
a first and a second broach, each of the first and second broaches having a neck connection element comprising a projection extending from a proximal surface of the broach, each projection having a length, the projection on the first broach having a different length than the projection on the second broach, and
a trial femoral neck component having a neck connection element in the form of a recess in a distal surface, the recess being configured to mate with the projection on each of the first or second broaches such that mating of the trial femoral neck component with the first broach provides an assembly with a first neck length, and in which the mating of the trial femoral neck component with the second broach provides an assembly with a second neck length.
