In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a cavity configured to receive the fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, the distal stem can include a threaded exterior surface configured to mate with a fastener when a portion of the distal stem is positioned within the proximal body. In some embodiments, a distal end of the distal stem can include an anterior relief configured to conform to interior surface of a femoral canal of a patient.
