Stem modularity can be classified according to the coupling location: distal, mid-stem, and proximal [1]. Mid-stem and proximal modularity have been more frequently used. Either the junction is located proximal or distal (mid-stem) to the neck osteotomy (Fig. 8.1). Proximal modularity with modular necks was introduced in 1987 by Cremascoli Ortho (Milan, Italy), in order to provide independent combinations of version, offset, and length [1].
