ABSTRACT:
An implant is disclosed which includes an elongated portion constructed in such a manner that the modulus of elasticity varies from one end to another. A plurality of discs alternating between solid discs and mesh discs are stacked with the relationship between the composite thickness of mesh regions as compared to the thickness of solid regions determining the modulus of elasticity at any region thereof. The invention is applicable to all different types of prosthetic implants.
