Abstract
A surgical implant with recesses adapted to capture fixation medium that extravazates during implantation. The implant includes an elongated stem having a distal tip configured for insertion into an implant receiving area of a patient. A collar designed to house recesses for capturing extravazating fixation medium is attached on the stem. The collar can be fixed to the stem by a separable collar-engagement feature or the collar can be fixed to the stem via structures on the stem.
