Abstract
A hip prosthesis constructed to transfer forces to the femur without relative movements that cause failures. The prosthesis stem has an open sided central bore. The proximal end of the prosthesis is configured to seat against interior surfaces of the femoral canal and support a femur head on a prosthesis shoulder that seats on the stem proximal end while maintaining the neck of the femur intact.
