Abstract
A method of implanting a medical implant includes resecting a long bone along a shaft of the bone so as to form a resected surface and remove a metaphysis of the bone. A tapered bore is reamed through the resected surface of the long bone and into an intramedullary canal thereof. A tapered portion of a stem of a medical implant is fully seated within the tapered bore so as to form a press-fit between the tapered portion of the stem and the long bone and so that a collar disposed at an end of the stem is offset from the resected surface so as to form a gap between the resected surface and the collar.
