Abstract
The different stem systems have individual characteristics that the surgeon should be familiar with in order to achieve reproducible outcomes while avoiding complications such as unintentional fractures. The tapered distal components have different lengths and degrees of taper as well as different heights of their diameter designation. The curved stems have different radii. The individual characteristics and their significance are discussed in detail in this chapter.
