A modular prosthetic implant is provided, including a support cleat unit
having a circular seat portion and a shape delimited by an imaginary
dome. The support cleat unit includes a cylindrical body portion having a
central axis and a hole concentric with the central axis, the hole having
a least a first section whose diameter defines a female Morse taper
adapted to receive a male member having a corresponding Morse taper. The
support cleat unit also includes a plurality of arched appendages
integral with the cylindrical body portion. The arched appendages are
radially spaced apart from one another and extend outwardly from a base
portion thereof at an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical
body portion so that lower/outer surfaces of the arched appendages define
the overall domed shape of the support cleat unit.
