Abstract
An orthopaedic device for implanting on a bone includes a first component having a socket forming a first member of a morse taper lock. A second component has an end forming a second member of a morse taper lock received in the socket. A protuberance is provided on one of the first and second members. Impacting the second component inserted in the socket seats the second component in the socket, and creates a localized deformation of the interference fit between the first and second components and establishes a barrier to the passage of debris.
