FEMORAL COMPONENT

摘要

A femoral component of a replacement hip joint having a stem for fixing in cement in a medullary cavity by cement and having a separate proximal component provided with a neck for a ball head, and including attachment means for securing the proximal component to the stem which allows selection of an infinite number of angularly displaced positions about a proximal/distal axis, and adapted to allow fixation of the two parts after insertion of the stem into the prepared medullary cavity and without causing torsional loads on the stem.
