Abstract

An ulnar assembly for use with a humeral component to form an elbow prosthesis is provided. The ulnar assembly includes a first component including a portion thereof defining a stem for implantation in a cavity formed in the ulna. The first component defines a longitudinal axis thereof generally coincident with the longitudinal axis of the ulna. The ulnar assembly also includes a second component attached to the first component. The second component is attachable and removable from the first component along the longitudinal axis of the first component. One of the first component and the second component include an external taper. The other of the first component and the second component defines an internal taper therein adapted to receive the external taper.
