ABSTRACT:
A patello-femoral prosthesis comprising a patellar prosthesis and a femoral prosthesis which are connected to each other for relative sliding movement. The connecting means comprises a keyhole shaped slot formed in one prosthesis, and a complementarily formed collar button shaped projection carried by the other prosthesis. The projection has an enlargement on its outer end which is mounted in the slot for sliding movement along the slot. The engagement between the projection and slot prevents undesirable separation or dislocation of the prostheses with respect to each other. In one embodiment, the slot is adapted to be expanded by engagement with the projection to permit the projection to move into the slot.
