ABSTRACT:
An intramedullary prosthesis device and the method of orthopedic implantation of the prosthesis device, particularly for a hip prosthesis. The prosthesis device and the method of implantation are directed to a precise undersized stem socket defined by compact bone formed by cortical or dense cancellous bone, and an oversized stem of the prosthesis device coated with a soft, resilient and compressible coating so that upon insertion of the coated stem within the undersized socket the coating is compressed along the length of the stem by the surrounding compact bone of the socket.
