Abstract
The endoprosthesis is adapted for insertion into a socket formed within the medullary canal of a patient's bone. It comprises an elongated stem defining a proximal region, a distal region, and a tip. A soft porous pad extends distally from the stem tip. The pad has a thickness greater than two millimeters. The distal region is preferably biocompatible, porous, soft, resilient, deformable, and tissue-ingrowth promoting.
