摘要:
A femoral component of a hip implant is disclosed. The femoral component may beused specifically in a neck sparing resection (i.e., any process or device thatavoids removing the femoral neck) and may include a shortened stem (with respectto a conventional stem) having a terminal flare portion for internally contactinga medial calcar portion of the proximal femur, and a significant curvature onits medial side. Other features of the femoral component include, flat side portionson the anterior and posterior sides of the stem, a lateral fin or a wing or T-backto aid in resisting torsional forces. The femoral component may also includea sagittal slot for proper fitting and placement in the femoral canal. The femoralcomponent may also include a neck component that is modular with respect to thestem component. A head component, whether monoblock or modular with respectto the neck component, may also be utilized as part of the femoral component.
