Abstract
A joint prosthesis may include a modular head member, a modular body member, and a stem member. The stem member may be so tapered as to be engageable by taper press-fit into the medullary cavity of a bone. The body member may be engageable in the stem member by friction-tight press-fit at a zone of diametrical interference.
