ABSTRACT:
An arthroplasty joint assembly for medically and articulately interconnecting first and second opposed end regions of lengthwise adjacent first and second bones. The artificial joint assembly includes a first assembly including external threading extending lengthwise from a generally pointed end of the first assembly for anchoring the first assembly within a cavity of the first bone such that an opposite end of the first assembly extends toward the second bone. The artificial joint assembly also includes a second assembly having external threading extending lengthwise from a generally pointed end of the second assembly for anchoring the second assembly within a cavity in the second bone and such that an opposite end of the second assembly extends toward the first bone. The artificial joint assembly further includes a connector operably associated with and pivotally interconnecting the first and second assemblies to permit the first and second bones anchored thereto to articulately flex relative to each other while maintaining the first and second bones in relationship to each other.
