A polished spherical head is connected to a proximally curved longitudinally tapered stem by a neck and collar. The overall length is about 6 inches or 150 mm. with the stem being approximately 41/2 inches or 115 mm. long. The stem has substantially flattened ellipsoidal cross section tapering from a relatively high curved proximal portion to a smooth junction with the distal portion which more gradually tapers in height to a rounded end. The thickness of the stem tapers uniformly from the proximal to distal end. One or more shallow teardrop-shaped depressions are disposed in the flat sides of the curved proximal portion of the stem with their bases disposed substantially parallel to each other at a distance apart which smoothly merges into a junction with the outsides of the distal portion. |
