ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for alleviating and/or preventing conditions relating to damaged joints. The device may be formed by moulding. Also the device may be formed with a hole or a slit to fit into the joint and lock the device around intra-articular components. A further aspect of invention relates to method for introducing the prosthetic device into a joint, such as a method comprising locking the device to an intro-articutar component. Also the invention relates to an instrument for inserting a prosthetic device according to the invention.
