A prosthetic implant (10) comprised of a stem (12) integrally connected to a neck (14), a head (36) that sits on top of the neck, and porous assembly (22) disposed around the stem. The porous assembly contains a first porous tube (24) and a second porous tube (26), wherein the second porous tube is disposed within the first porous tube, and the stem is disposed within the second porous tube. The porous assembly is a heat absorbent porous assembly, which tends to maintain its temperature within a specified range. |
