<p>An orthopaedic implant system has an orthopaedic component (12) with a stem (22) for receipt in a bone. The stem has a rough outer surface to provide a bonding surface for cement or to provide a substrate for bony ingrowth for fixing the implant in the bone. The system also includes a sleeve (16) for use with the stem of the orthopaedic component. The surgeon can opt to use the orthopaedic component alone without any sleeve or can use the orthopaedic component with a sleeve if the patient's condition warrants. <IMAGE></p> |
