  • Tapered stem with anti-rotation features
    Patent number: 11364125
    Abstract: An intramedullary stem prosthesis includes a trunnion tapered in a first direction toward a proximal end of the intramedullary stem, and a conical shaft interfacing with the trunnion at a modular taper junction. The conical shaft is tapered in a second direction toward a distal end of the second component and has a proximal portion, a distal portion, and flutes positioned about a longitudinal axis of the conical shaft and extending along an entire length of the conical shaft and terminating at the modular taper junction such that the flutes intersect the modular taper junction. The proximal portion defines a first taper angle, the distal portion defines a second taper angle greater than the first taper angle, and the flutes define a major diameter of the conical shaft. The major diameter tapers at a major diameter taper angle that is constant along the entire length of the conical shaft.
