ABSTRACT:
A joint prosthesis system allows an inferior component of a prosthesis system to be offset from a superior component of the system. In one embodiment the joint prothesis comprises a tibial tray having an offset tibial stem. A bolt member connects between the tibial tray and tibial stem to provide the desired degree of offset and the orientation of the offset. The bolt member is constructed such that a longitudinal axis extending through a first end thereof is offset from a longitudinal axis extending through a second end thereof.
