Abstract
Abstract A hip prosthesis is disclosed which employs a number of cement spacers located on the surface of the stem of the prosthesis immediately below a collar which makes direct and parallel contact with calcar bone when a stem of the prosthesis is seated in medullary canal of the patient. The collar is constructed to provide even stress distribution to the bone.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
A femoral component of a hip prosthesis comprising a neck adapted to receive a ball head, a collar having a proximal surface on the side of the neck and a distal surface on the side of a stem, said stem being capable of insertion into the medullary canal of the femur of a patient, said collar having a cross sectional area larger than the cross sectional area of part of the stem adjacent the collar, said stem having anterior, posterior, medial and lateral surfaces, and said collar having anterior, posterior and medial edges that extend beyond the anterior, posterior and medial surfaces of the stem, a cement spacer located on each of the anterior, posterior and medial surfaces of the stem, each of said spacers having a generally circular cross section and having a proximal edge and a center line through the center of said spacer, each of said spacers extending outwardly from the stem surface on which it is located, said spacers being affixed to the stem immediately adjacent the distal surface of the collar whereby the spacers may position the stem when the stem is placed in the medullary canal of the femur of a patient.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
198 words
A femoral component of a hip prosthesis comprising a neck adapted to receive a ball head, a collar having a proximal surface on the side of the neck and a distal surface on the side of a stem, said stem being capable of insertion into the medullary canal of the femur of a patient, said collar having a cross sectional area larger than the cross sectional area of part of the stem adjacent the collar, said stem having anterior, posterior, medial and lateral surfaces, and said collar having anterior, posterior and medial edges that extend beyond the anterior, posterior and medial surfaces of the stem, a cement spacer located on each of the anterior, posterior and medial surfaces of the stem, each of said spacers having a generally circular cross section and having a proximal edge and a center line through the center of said spacer, each of said spacers extending outwardly from the stem surface on which it is located, said spacers being affixed to the stem immediately adjacent the distal surface of the collar whereby the spacers may position the stem when the stem is placed in the medullary canal of the femur of a patient.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 in which the spacers are made of polymethylmethacrylate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 in which the spacers have a generally spherical shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 in which the medial spacer is longer than the anterior and posterior spacers.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 in which the spacers are affixed to the stem so that the center line of the spacers are positioned a distance from the distal surface of the collar which is less than the distance between the center line of the spacer and its proximal edge.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 in which the proximal edge of the spacer is between 1 and 5 millimeters from the distal surface of the collar.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
The prosthesis of claim 1 having an angle formed between the anterior and posterior edges of the collar that is between 40° and 50°.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
18 words
The prosthesis of claim 7 in which the collar terminates medially from the lateral surface of the stem.
