Abstract

A humero-ulnar elbow joint prosthesis comprises a metallic ulnar component 14 in the form of a generally oval head having a curved stem corresponding to the curve of the upper medullary canal of the ulna 16, and a plastics humeral component 10 in the form of a cup having a trough at the inner surface for cooperation with the oval head of the ulnar component and a stud on the outer surface of the cup for location of the humeral component relative to the humerus 13, the arrangement being such that in use the oval head glides within the trough during elbow flexion permitting both a linear change in carrying angle and a limited degree of cyclic rotation. Preferably, the ulnar component 14 comprises a vitallium alloy and the humeral component 10 comprises high density polyethylene. <IMAGE> [GB2030867A]
