Abstract:
1. A segmental femoral orthopaedic implant configured for attachment to a tissue structure, the segmental femoral orthopaedic implant comprising: a body comprising an anterior surface, a posterior surface, a lateral surface, a medial surface, a proximal end, and a distal end; a neck that extends medially from the body, the neck configured to support a head for articulation with an acetabular component; and a protrusion that projects medially from the body distal of the neck and which buttresses the neck, the protrusion including an anterior protrusion surface and a posterior protrusion surface, wherein a maximum width of the protrusion measured between said anterior protrusion surface and said posterior protrusion surface is less than a maximum width of the body distal of the neck, and wherein, in a proximal-to-distal direction, the protrusion includes a sloped proximal surface that slopes away from the body in a medial direction followed by a sloped distal surface that slopes back toward the body in a lateral direction, the protrusion defining at least one suture throughbore.
