Patent ID: 8118868

Claim:
A femoral prosthesis system having a tissue attachment portion, comprising: a proximal femoral prosthesis having a stem portion and a neck portion and configured to replace at least a portion of a proximal portion of a femur that is medial of a greater trochanter of the femur; an attachment assembly separate from the proximal femoral prosthesis; a first porous metal pad that is generally planar and fixed directly to an inferior surface of a portion of the proximal femoral prosthesis that is on a medial portion of the proximal femoral prosthesis and is extending substantially transverse to a long axis of the femur and where the first porous metal pad is operable to allow boney ingrowth directly into the first porous metal pad directly from a resected proximal surface of the femur; and a first fastener operable to interconnect the attachment assembly and the proximal femoral prosthesis.
