ABSTRACT:
A hip prosthesis for insertion into a femur. In one exemplary embodiment, the hip prosthesis includes a stem having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis. This stem may include anterior and posterior locking surfaces which diverge away from the stem. A shank portion may extend distally from the anterior and posterior locking surfaces and converge at an angle distally toward the stem.
