ABSTRACT:
A modular device for coupling a stem to an end component of an implant. The device includes a plurality of rotatably interconnectable intermediate components for coupling the stem to the end component, such that each intermediate component can be rotated for selectively changing a total offset between the stem and the end component by a relative offset.
