ABSTRACT:
A modular prosthesis for replacing a portion of a bone having an articulating end includes a neck having a bore extending therethrough, a body having a bore extending therethrough, and an elongated stem. A proximal end of the stem is received within the bore of the body and the bore of the neck so that at least a self-locking taper connection or a press fit connection is formed between the stem and each of the neck and the body.
