ABSTRACT:
A hip prosthesis wherein a saddle-shaped head has a seat flanked by two horns and engageable with the surface bounding a recess in the lower part of a damaged pelvic bone. The head is rotatably or rigidly secured to a substantially S-shaped adapter which, in turn, is rotatably or non-rotatably secured to the adjacent end of a shank that is implantable in the cavity of a femur. One or more distancing rings can be inserted between the adapter and the head.
