Abstract
A system and method for improving assembly of a modular prosthesis, particularly a femoral stem. The system and method may include implementation of assembly systems for modular prosthesis having one or more intermediate components between a pair of 'end components' such as a stem and a head. Grip structures are provided on non-aligned assembly axes and holders are used for each phase to engage appropriate grip structures for joinder of components having aligned assembly axes.
