Abstract
A femoral orthopaedic prosthesis includes a metallic core extending from a proximal end to a distal tip. The metallic core includes a neck that is positioned at the proximal end and is configured to receive a prosthetic femoral ball. An elongated stem extends distally from the neck to the distal tip. The stem includes a proximal section extending distally from the neck, and a distal section that extends proximally from the distal tip. The elongated stem also includes a pair of spaced-apart beams that connect the proximal section to the distal section. An aperture is defined in the stem between the pair of spaced apart beams.
