ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to artifical joint components in total prostheses for teaching, research and as visual aids. The outer form and structure of the joint components is the equivalent of conventional joint components; they consist of easily separable material, such as injection moulded plastic or casting resin. These joint components can be used in basic research and in surgery courses to teach and further develop new operation techniques and to evaluate results of surgery simply and with certainty, since the bone is opened up together with the implant using a simple belt saw. Immediately thereafter, the results of the operation can be evaluated.
