ABSTRACT:
An implant for improved engagement between modular components is provided. The implant includes a body member for insertion, in use, in a natural femoral neck; and a rod for insertion, in use, in the intramedullary canal of a femur. The body member has a first engagement surface and the rod has a second engagement surface such that the first and second engagement surfaces are configured for complementary engagement with each other. One of the first or second engagement surfaces may be a protrusion while the other of the first or second engagement surfaces may be a recess for receiving the protrusion. The implant may further include a locking member, a stabilizing member and a guide means. A domed head portion is provided for attachment to a medial end of the body member and insertion, in use, in a natural or prosthetic acetabulum.
