Claim Text:
1. An orthopaedic hip prosthesis, comprising: a femoral head component including a spherical surface shaped to engage a prosthetic acetabular component, and a femoral stem component, comprising: wherein when the orthopaedic hip prosthesis is viewed in a transverse plane, the first shell and the second shell define (i) a first thickness between a medial-most point of the medial surface of the second shell and a medial-most point of the medial surface of the first core body and (ii) a second thickness between a lateral-most point of the lateral surface of the second shell and a lateral-most point of the lateral surface of the first core body, and (iii) the first thickness is less than the second thickness, wherein when the orthopaedic hip prosthesis is viewed in the transverse plane, the medial surface of the first core body is convex and the lateral surface of the first core body is convex, and wherein when the orthopaedic hip prosthesis is viewed in the transverse plane, the medial surface of the first core body is defined by a first radius and the lateral surface of the first core body is defined by a second radius that is greater than the first radius.
