A knee prosthesis includes a femoral component and a stem for implanting
in a femur. A modular junction is provided for attaching the stem to the
femoral component. The femoral component may include a boss having a slot
for receiving the components of the modular junction. A portion of the
modular junction may be placed within the slot and the modular junction
may be tightened in place on the boss by threading the stem into
engagement with a portion of the modular junction. Accordingly, the stem
may be connected to the femoral component by a single threaded engagement
and the position of the stem may be adjusted to any desired location
along the anterior-posterior direction on the femoral component.
