A modular endoprosthetic radial head implant includes an end cap secured
to a cannulated body held to bone by a fixation element. The fixation
element supports the cannulated body on a resected radial bone end, for
example. The fixation element of one embodiment features a threaded stem
with a spherical head. The stem fits distally into the cannulated body
and extends through a hole formed by the distal end of the cannulated
body. The spherical head nests inside the cannulated body. Polyaxial
alignment between the cannulated body and the fixation element is locked
using a jam nut tightened inside the cannulated body. An end cap fits
into place proximally on the cannulated body. The end cap is formed of a
joint surface material to provide a bearing surface.
