ABSTRACT:
The joint implant utilizes a pin and socket arrangement wherein the pin and socket are of non-circular cross-sectional shapes. In addition, the socket has a shaped aperture which permits the pin to tilt or rock in the socket without twisting about the longitudinal axis of the pin. The socket has a reduced cross-sectional portion within which the pin is guided as well as widening portions within which the pin may tilt.
