ABSTRACT:
A small joint spacing prosthesis comprises an elongate silicone rubber body reinforced by a Dacron or nylon string and is made by moulding the body with the string therein. The middle of the body forms a spacer of spherical shape with flat end faces providing shoulders for abutment of the bone ends. The remainder of the body forms intramedullary stems with rounded outer ends.
