A modular joint implant including a male/female junction comprises two components. A bore in the first component has an opening. An interior surface forms a female side. A projection in the second component has an exterior surface forming a male side. A portion of contact area between bore and projection is adjacent the opening and is offset axially relative to a second portion. A modular hip joint implant including a male/female junction comprises a proximal body. A projection adjacent the first end of a stem component has an exterior surface forming a male side of the junction. The projection engages with a bore along the junction axis. The male and female sides contact one another adjacent a bore opening. A portion of the bore opening adjacent the lateral aspect is offset axially toward the top end relative to a portion of the bore opening adjacent the medial aspect.
