An orthopaedic implant for use in performing joint arthroplasty is
provided. The orthopaedic implant includes a joint component having a
stem element defining a external periphery of the stem element. The
external periphery of the stem element has a stem resection ring that may
be aligned with the resected plane of the long bone. The joint component
also includes a body element, which is capable of being fixedly fitted to
the stem element and having an external periphery with a body resection
ring alignable with the resected plane of the long bone. The external
periphery of a canal portion of the body element is spaced inwardly from
the external periphery of the stem element so that the body element may
be removed from the long bone without disturbing the fixation of the stem
element to the long bone.
