ABSTRACT:
The femur head prosthesis is constructed with a sleeve for mounting on the pin of an anchoring shank. The sleeve is provided with a slotted end which is of smaller diameter than the end of the pin so as to plastically deform about the pin when mounted therein. The plastic deformation permits a clamped connection which prevents rotation of the femur head prosthesis on the anchoring shank.
