Abstract

See full text

A joint prosthesis provides articulating prosthesis components that can deflect with respect to one another so that shock absorption is provided, lowering impact stresses. The components interface at articulating surfaces, and a gap is provided at a position away from the articulating surfaces, so that one of the components can flex into the gap area during use.
