ABSTRACT:
The prosthesis shank is composed of a blade which carries a joint head and a wedge-shaped end piece. The end piece is driven in along a guide in the lateral narrow side of the blade while the blade remains in a fixed position. The wedge-shaped form of the end piece permits fixation of the blade at a predetermined height such that the joint head can be at the level of the trochanter tip.
