An implant is provided for replacing the proximal portion of a femur
having a substantially intact natural femoral neck and a lateral side
opposite the femoral neck, with a bore extending from the femoral neck
through a lateral side of the femur. The implant comprises a sleeve
having a flange for engaging a proximally facing resected surface of the
neck surrounding the bore in the femur and having a bore with an inwardly
tapered conical portion. A shaft member having a longitudinal axis, a
distal end, and a proximal end is placed in the bore through the femur.
The shaft member has an intermediate conically tapered male portion for
coupling to the conically tapered bore of the sleeve and a proximal end
having a conically tapered portion. A head member having a distal end and
a proximal substantially-spherical portion and a tapered recess is
configured for positioning in a natural or prosthetic hip socket.
