Abstract:

An implantable prosthetic joint comprising a first member and a second member, both of which include a stem portion implantable in bone. The first member has a neck portion and a protuberant head portion attached to the neck portion. The second member has a head-receiving cavity and a slot in communication with the cavity to provide hinge-like motion of the joint as the neck portion is moved within the slot and the head portion rotated within the cavity. The head-receiving portion of the second member includes a transverse channel communicating with the cavity and a transverse slot communicating with the transverse channel whereby the head and neck portion of the first member may be inserted into the head-receiving portion of the second member in a direction transverse to the plane established by the hinge-like motion of the first member relative to the second member as the neck portion of the first member moves along the channel in the head-receiving portion of the second member.
