ABSTRACT:
The prosthesis shank has a blade in which three predetermined points are designated. The points are formed as the centers of three bores which are formed in the shank in a triangular array. One bore is located on the longitudinal median axis while the other two bores are located on the pin axis. The points may also be determined by projections, depressions and or incisions. The designated points permit comparisons of x-ray pictures which are taken from time to time.
