ABSTRACT:
A multi-piece prosthetic component for use in joint arthroplasty which is adapted to be implanted into a joint and engaged by a joint socket. The modular prosthetic component includes body which is at least partially implantable within a bone, said body having an external surface. A mechanism for coupling soft tissue to the exterior surface of the implant is provided. The mechanism has an attachment mechanism which is operable to prevent movement of the soft tissue attachment mechanism with respect to the body.
