ABSTRACT:
A hip prosthesis has a neck, a trochanter, a link, and an intramedullary rod. The intramedullary rod and the link are formed as a sub-assembly connected together endwise by a universal joint formed as a tubular extension. The link is telescoped into the trochanter and the neck, successively. A bolt is threaded into a threaded bore in one end of the link and draws the intramedullary rod and link into the trochanter resulting in an immovable press fit.
