    Description

    Versys Hip System femoral stem, fiber metal midcoat, collared, 12/14 neck taper, low head center, size 16, standard body. Cat. No. 7841-16-10.

    Reason

    The femoral heads will not seat onto the taper of the hip stem, as the head impinges on the radius undercut below the taper.
