Hip stem provisional having adjustable neck offsets
First Claim
1. A hip stem provisional comprising:
- .a base part located on said stem provisional and including an elongated mounting surface,a neck part extending outwardly from said base part, andmeans for shiftably connecting said neck part to said base part for shiftable movement along said mounting surface between a first position and second position to provide at least two different selectable discrete neck offsets, and wherein said neck part is nonrotatably, shiftably connected to said base part along said mounting surface at a first angular orientation when said neck part is in its said first position and at a second angular orientation, different from said first angular orientation, when said neck part is in its said second position.

Abstract
A hip stem provisional 10 having adjustable neck offsets is disclosed. Hip stem provisional 10 includes a stem part 12 and an attachable cone provisional 20. Cone provisional 20 includes a base 30 and a neck 40 shiftably connected to the base. Base 30 has a mounting surface 36 upon which neck 40 is shiftably seated. Neck 40 can be positioned along the length of mounting surface 36 at a plurality of discrete positions. In one embodiment of cone provisional 20, base 30 has an arcuate mounting surface 36, which allows neck 40 to be positioned along the length of the mounting surface at a plurality of discrete positions, each having a different neck offset and neck angle. In a second embodiment of the cone provisional 60, the base 70 has a flat mounting surface 76, which allows the neck 80 to be positioned along the length of the mounting surface at a plurality of discrete positions, each having a different neck offset, but having a fixed neck angle.
