ABSTRACT:
A method of implanting a modular hip stem implant having a stem portion and a body portion into a medullary canal of a patient's femur utilizing a two-incision technique. The stem portion is inserted through an anterior incision and the body portion is inserted through a posterior incision where they are interconnected in vivo. The modular hip stem implant is then driven into the medullary canal with force applied through either of the two incisions.
