Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A collar ( 2 ) arranged to couple to a prosthetic component for implantation at the end of a long bone, the prosthetic component having a distal portion arranged to couple to the bone and a proximal neck portion arranged to couple to an articulation component. The collar ( 2 ) comprises a plate including a neck hole ( 4 ) to receive a neck portion, such that the collar can rotate about the neck portion. The collar ( 2 ) further comprises a plurality of attachment portions ( 12 ) for coupling the plate to bone fragments or soft tissues. The collar ( 2 ) is lockable to the neck portion to prevent further rotation. A prosthesis comprising a combination of a collar ( 2 ), a prosthetic component and an articulation component, and a surgical method of using the collar ( 2 ) are also disclosed.
