ABSTRACT:
The stem is formed in the distal zone with a hollow and a longitudinal slot. The hollow is increasingly offset medially from the stem axis in the proximal direction while the slot is disposed in a plane defined by the longitudinal axis of the stem and neck axis. The stem has a resilience which increases distally within the distal zone to accommodate re-operation procedures while resisting lateral loadings imposed via the femoral head.
