ABSTRACT:
An intramedullary prosthesis particularly for a hip prosthesis. The prosthesis utilizes a tapered elongate stem undersized precisely with respect to a precisely formed stem socket in the medullary canal with the stem socket defined by cortical bone or dense cancellous bone of a long bone. A layer of coating material surrounds the undersized stem along its entire length and is of a generally uniform thickness along the entire length of the stem with the costing material filling the void area between the stem of the prosthesis and the precisely formed stem socket.
