Disclosed are a femoral stem for artificial coxal articulation, in which
portions of the femoral stem interfering with and contacting an insertion
in the joint movement of the femoral stem are removed from the femoral
stem so as to maximize the range of the joint movement thereof while
maintaining the cross sectional area thereof, and a method for processing
a neck portion of the femoral stem. The method includes cutting
symmetrical portions of the outer circle of a circular rod to form
cutting planes inwardly inclined such that the cutting planes contact a
virtual inner circle having the same center as that of the outer circle;
and rounding a portion between the cutting planes along the inner circle
so that the inner part of the outer circle is shorter than the outer part
of the outer circle.
