Zusammenfassung:A femoral implant is disclosed with a self-broaching, neck-preserving hip stem including a set of rasp teeth on a distal-lateral portion of the stem to allow the stem to be impacted into a femur without the use of surgical broaches. The rasp teeth are disposed on a relief surface. The stem includes a length, radius of curvature, and a dual-taper in the anterior-posterior and distal-lateral directions which allow the neck to self-broach and seat itself proximal to the conventional resection level to preserve greater bone stock in the femur. A method of implanting a femoral prosthesis is also disclosed. [FIG. 1A] o- 10 0 ccc 142
