Abstract
A ruff or collar is positioned on the hip joint prosthesis shank prior to insertion of a prosthesis into a bone. The ruff can be slipped onto the straight shank in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the distal. The ruff is fixed to the transition region between the shank and the prosthesis neck by means of conical clamping surfaces. A set of ruffs may be provided each of which has a different thickness and/or different angle between the underside bearing surface and the top surface to accommodate inaccuracies in a resection cut.
