ABSTRACT:
To obtain an increase of the lateral distance between the longitudinal median axis of the straight prosthesis shank and the center of the joint head, the straight shank has a tapered medial side which changes over to an arcuate side on an arc of a circle which connects the transition point with the point of the smooth passage of the medial side into the prosthesis neck and with the center of the joint head. The angle between the longitudinal median axis and the prosthesis neck axis remains unchanged. This results in a lateral distance enlargement without having to shift the relative height position of the point at which the curved shank side meets the neck in the body, i.e., relative to the muscle origins.
