Glossary

Arthroplasty component inserted into the proximal femur. It is either already inseparably connected to the femoral head (monobloc) or a modular head can be attached to obtain a complete femoral component (modular head stem), it can also include a modular structure with a modular neck or proximal section (modular stem).

Arthroplasty component inserted onto the distal femur. It can form either one single femoral condyle or both femoral condyles, and the femoral trochlear.

A hip stem component that is primarily fixed in the femoral neck. This also includes large head mid neck resection “resurfacing” prosthesis.

Monobloc design of the tibial tray or modular connection between the tibial tray and the tibial insert without permitting any relative movement between these components. As opposed to a mobile bearing.
