Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A prosthetic implant including a stem portion having a plurality of sides and a discrete, circumferential porous pad mounted directly on said stem portion in surrounding relation thereto, the pad includes a first end and a second end such that when the pad is mounted on the stem portion, the first end and the second end face each other and are flush with one another without interruption therebetween on one of said sides of the stem portion, and wherein the porous pad is attached securely and directly to the stem portion prior to implantation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A prosthetic implant including a stem portion having a plurality of sides and a discrete, circumferential porous pad mounted directly on said stem portion in surrounding relation thereto, the pad includes a first end and a second end such that when the pad is mounted on the stem portion, the first end and the second end face each other and are flush with one another without interruption therebetween on one of said sides of the stem portion, and wherein the porous pad is attached securely and directly to the stem portion prior to implantation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
