ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic joint prosthesis includes a prosthesis body with a pair of connectable components each having a connecting portion with a generally frustroconically shaped surface. One of the components has a projecting connecting portion and the other component has a socket connecting portion. The projecting connecting portion has a distal end and a proximal end with a generally circular end face. The void space can also be a socket. The void space defines a means for distributing stress between the proximal and distal end portions after the prosthesis body has been assembled by locking the socket and projecting portions together.
