Abstract
Orthopedic hip replacement is made safer and more effective by enhancing interconnection of hip implant components, such as by improving an interference fit using one or more tapers, threads, and/or cooling of components prior to assembly. For example, a prosthetic femoral neck can include a thread and a Morse taper for lockable attachment to a prosthetic femoral head and/or intramedullary stem. A monoblock head and neck unit is described, having an integrated prosthetic femoral head and prosthetic neck, with structures for engaging the stem.
