A comprehensive modular implant system is provided that is especially adapted for limb preservation. The modular components of the system can be combined to perform proximal, distal, mid-shaft, or total long bone replacement. Each replacement component is connected by a Morse taper engagement. The Morse taper engagement can be augmented by interlocking anti-rotation features between adjacent components. Certain components are configured to form part of a skeletal joint, while other components are configured for engagement within existing portions of the long bone. A number of segmental components operate as spacers for spanning the length of a removed section of bone. Certain segmental components are provided in several lengths, with one group of lengths increasing in 5 mm increments. Combinations of the segmental components can accommodate replacement lengths from 25 mm to 170 mm in 5 mm increments.
