This link shows different stem types based on the material etc..

This link has images from an actual hip replacement operation. The last image is about the fixing the stem into Femur. If you can not look at an actual operation DO NOT CLICK on this link, images are bloody.

The bottom line is the millimetrik expression is used for the diameter of the stem, or the diameter of the material... The stem size 1 or other, does not give millimetrik length of the actual stem.

Actually, I may be confused you, with the size as well, when I draw a 40 to 60 mm diameter, that can easily be the head or the cup diameter, but can not be stem diameter.

Anyways, once you look at the links I entered, you will have better idea...
