ABSTRACT:
A bone implant, in particular as a shaft-type prosthesis, which has a mirror-symmetrical shape is proposed, wherein for adaptation to bone regions of the left or right half of the body that in themselves are not mirror-symmetrical, the part having mirror-symmetrical shape forms a basic element, and a separately shaped additional element is provided that is joined or can be joined to the basic element in such a manner that a bone implant that is not mirror-symmetrical and is usable only on the left or right side of the body is produced.
