摘要:
A femoral component having a modular stem is discussed. While the femoral component can have any suitable characteristic, in some cases, it includes an external articular surface and an internal surface. While the stem can have any characteristic, in some cases, it includes a proximal end and a distal end. Although the femoral component and stem can attach to a femur in any suitable manner, in some cases, the stem is inserted into the femur's intramedullary canal. In some cases, the femoral component is then: slid onto a resectioned portion of the femur at an angle between 20 and 80 degrees with respect to a longitudinal axis of the femur's distal portion, by rolling the femoral component onto the resectioned portion, or in any other suitable manner. In some cases, the distal end of the stem is then permanently fixed to the femoral component's internal surface. Other implementations are described.
