A femoral prosthesis including a stem for insertion in a femoral canal and a shoulder and/or neck portion characterized by a proximal sleeve having an outer circumferential wall and comprising two or more proximal sleeve components, each of which provides part of the circumferential outer surface of the sleeve, and means for securing the proximal sleeve components in position at the proximal end of the stem.

Femoral prosthesis

A targeting apparatus for use in performing endofemoral osteotomy surgery has a support element provided with a drill guide. The apparatus has a connector for securing a support element to the proximal end of a prosthesis to be implanted. The apparatus includes a proximal location element which is shaped to extend around the great trochanter and muscle of the femur in which the implant is to be located. An adjustor is provided for adjusting the angular position of the drill guide in relation to the femur about a proximal-distal axis.

Targeting apparatus for use in performing endofemoral osteotomy surgery

A targeting apparatus for use in performing transfemoral osteotomy surgery includes a support element provided with a drill guide. A device is provided for securing the support element to a prosthesis to be implanted, and to a resectioned femur. An adjusting device for adjusting the angular position of the drill guide in relation to the resectioned femur about a proximal-distal axis is also included.

Targeting apparatus for use in performing transfemoral osteotomy

A targeting apparatus for use in resectioning a femur when performing transfemoral osteotomy surgery has a drill guide element which includes a line of drill openings each of which is adapted to guide a drill for drilling holes in the femur. A connector is provided for securing the drill guide element to a femur to be resectioned with the line of openings extending in a proximal/distal direction along the femur.
