Abstract
A modular implant system can include a first component and a second component. The first component can include a stem adapted to be anchored within a medullary canal of a bone and a mounting boss defining an outer coupling surface and an inner coupling surface. The second component can include a collar defining a first coupling surface adapted to engage the outer coupling surface of the mounting boss to secure the second component to the first component.

A modular implant system, comprising:
- a first component including:
- a stem including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion adapted to be anchored within a medullary canal of a bone;
- and
- a mounting boss extending from the proximal portion, the mounting boss defining an outer coupling surface and an inner coupling surface;
- and
- a second component including a collar defining a first coupling surface, the first coupling surface adapted to engage the outer coupling surface of the mounting boss of the stem to secure the second component to the first component.
A modular implant system comprising:
- a first component including:
- a stem including a proximal portion and a distal portion, the distal portion adapted to be anchored within a medullary canal of a bone;
- a mounting boss extending from the proximal portion, the mounting boss defining an outer coupling surface and an inner coupling surface;
- and
- a plurality of second components, wherein:
- each second component of the plurality of second components includes a collar defining a first coupling surface, the first coupling surface adapted to engage the outer coupling surface of the mounting boss to secure any of the plurality of second components to the first component;
- and
- each second component of the plurality of second components is uniquely sized and shaped relative to other second components of the plurality of second components.
A method of adapting a modular implant system to a patient, the method comprising:
- selecting a first component from a plurality of first components, the first component adapted to be anchored within a medullary canal of a bone of the patient;
- selecting a second component from a plurality of second components based on a physical characteristic of the bone, the second component adapted to engage at least one of a metaphysis or a diaphysis of the bone of the patient;
- and
- securing the second component to the first component.
