          Appeal No. 2000-0451                                                        
          Application No. 08/726,088                                                  


          the limitations in these two claims are clearly not the same.               
          The limitations of claim 4 are much more precise as to the                  
          curvature of the superior neck of the femoral stem and the                  
          planes involved, than the broader recitation in claim 8.                    


          In light of the foregoing, appellant's request is granted                   
          to the extent of reconsidering our decision, but is denied                  
          with respect to making any changes therein.                                 


                                                                                     



















                                          6
