A femoral component of a hip implant is disclosed. The femoral component
may be used specifically in a neck sparing resection (i.e., any process
or device that avoids removing the femoral neck) and may include a
shortened stem (with respect to a conventional stem) having a terminal
flare portion for internally contacting a medial calcar portion of the
proximal femur, and a significant curvature on its medial side. Other
features of the femoral component include, flat side portions on the
anterior and posterior sides of the stem, a lateral fin or a wing or
T-back to aid in resisting torsional forces. The femoral component may
also include a sagittal slot for proper fitting and placement in the
femoral canal. The femoral component may also include a neck component
that is modular with respect to the stem component. A head component,
whether monoblock or modular with respect to the neck component, may also
be utilized as part of the femoral component.
