ABSTRACT:
A bone prosthesis and the method of securing it in place, in which the prosthesis is formed as a tubular support member having perforations therein, the end of the bone is bored, the tubular support member is introduced into the bore and cement is then introduced into the interior of the tubular support and passes out through the perforations to provide the midterm anchor on the walls of the bone. The cement will damage the tissue where it contacts the tissue, but the remainder of the tissue of the bore is undamaged and this grows inwardly to form a long term anchor between the tubular support and the bone. A prosthesis body is located and secured in place e.g. mechanically or by cement, in the tubular support member.
