Italian term or phrase: piolo polare monolitico
This is an Investigator's Brochure regarding a new type of implant.
These are a couple of sites I found on the Web to give you a bit more context.

"Gli inserti di taglia M e L si abbinano a teste in Biolox® Delta o Biolox® Forte di diametro 36 mm. Gli inserti L, infine, sono disponibili su richiesta anche per teste di diametro 40 mm. Gli inserti “MET”, in lega speciale di CoCrMo con elevata finitura superficiale, nelle taglie S, M, L si accoppiano a teste “MET” da 36 mm. Tutti gli inserti sono dotati di piolo polare monolitico."

I am having trouble researching this term. Does anyone know what may be a viable English translation for this term?
I would appreciate your help.

Asker: I hadn't thought of it as "solid". That's excellent - thanks.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Hi Liz, "polar peg" seems to fit the translation for "piolo" which is usually "peg" in this context. Thanks for the links. I wasn't sure of "polare" which has now been confirmed as "polar" from this literature - I have a feeling I may have to translate "monolitico" literally for the time being until I can find out what this is referring to.
