An ulnar assembly for use with a humeral component to form an elbow
prosthesis is provided. The ulnar assembly includes a first component
including a portion thereof defining a stem for implantation in a cavity
formed in the ulna. The first component defines a longitudinal axis
thereof generally coincident with the longitudinal axis of the ulna. The
ulnar assembly also includes a second component attached to the first
component. The second component is attachable and removable from the
first component along the longitudinal axis of the first component. One
of the first component and the second component include an external
taper. The other of the first component and the second component defines
an internal taper therein adapted to receive the external taper.
