Functional description
A sterile endoprosthesis used to replace the Femoral Head. Designed for use with an adapter sleeve to fit on the trunnion of a Femoral Hip Stem, through the use of locking tapers, mallet blows cold weld the metal surfaces of the head, sleeve and trunnion. The resultant assembly functions in a similar fashion to a fixed head endoprosthesis.
