An implant and method for replacement of the proximal portion of a femur, and specifically for replacement of the natural femoral head is provided. The implant includes a body member for insertion, in use, through the natural femoral neck and in substantial alignment therewith; a head member with a spherical portion for engagement with a natural or a prosthetic hip socket; a joining portion for joining the head member to the body member; and a rod for insertion, in use, through the transverse passage of the body member. The rod is designed such that it has a cross-sectional configuration that contacts the cortical surfaces in the bone and inhibits micro-motion within the bone. In addition, the transverse passage of the body member is configured to complement the configuration of the rod such that the need for stabilizing screws toward the distal end of the rod is eliminated when the implant is assembled within the patient.

An implant and method for replacement of the proximal portion of a femur, and specifically for replacement of the natural femoral head is provided. The implant includes a body member for insertion, in use, through the natural femoral neck and in substantial alignment therewith, a head member with a spherical portion for engagement with a natural or a prosthetic hip socket, and an optional sleeve for altering the position of the spherical portion of the head member relative to the body member. The body member may also include a collar designed to rest on the resected surface of the remaining intact natural femoral neck. A member for joining the head member to the body member is further provided which may integrally join the head and body members or, where the implant is comprised of modular components, the joining member may be in the form of a protrusion or a recess on the body member for engaging a complementary recess or protrusion, respectively, on the head member. The method for implanting the femoral head includes rotating a cutting portion of a reamer into engagement with the lateral side of the femur and along the axis of the femoral neck, morselizing the natural femoral neck with a reamer, and inserting the implant into the passage at the lateral side of the femur.

An implant for improved engagement between modular components is provided. The implant includes a body member for insertion, in use, in a natural femoral neck; and a rod for insertion, in use, in the intramedullary canal of a femur. The body member has a first engagement surface and the rod has a second engagement surface such that the first and second engagement surfaces are configured for complementary engagement with each other. One of the first or second engagement surfaces may be a protrusion while the other of the first or second engagement surfaces may be a recess for receiving the protrusion. The implant may further include a locking member, a stabilizing member and a guide means. A domed head portion is provided for attachment to a medial end of the body member and insertion, in use, in a natural or prosthetic acetabulum.
