HIP IMPLANT
A hip implant for use in hip replacement surgical procedures. The hip implant comprises a femoral stem body designed for fixation in two planes, i.e. the AP plane and the lateral plane. The curvature of the implant is designed to mirror the geometry of the femur, thus providing for more contact points with the inner surface of the medullary cavity. The outer surface curvature cooperates with the inner surface associated with the medullary cavity. The hip implant is designed to provide increased or maximum contact with the interior of the bone, i.e. femur, while decreasing or minimizing stress risers or stress points, thus reducing the likelihood of patient pain and/or implant failure.
