ABSTRACT:
The collarless shank is provided with a bore for receiving a screw in order to permit securement of the proximal region of shank to the calcar arc of a femur bone. The bore is arranged in the proximal region and extends at least approximately perpendicularly to the medial arc of the shank as well as perpendicularly to the prosthesis neck axis. The screw may be passed through a continuous bore into the calcar arc or may be passed through the calcar arc into threaded engagement in a blind bore of the shank.
