ABSTRACT:
A shoulder joint prosthesis is shown having two bearing bodies (1, 2; 11, 12) which slide on one another and which can be respectively connected to the upper arm (3) by a shaft (5) and to the shoulder bone (4) by a platform (6). When the connection to the shaft (5) is brought about by a non-rotationally symmetrical, conical body (7) with a self-locking seat, with its periphery (8) being form matched to a mating shape (15) in the shaft (5) which is rotationally fixed relative to a longitudinal axis (9) arid keyed by the taper so that the connection is releasable and repeatedly fixable in the same angular position, large forces can be transmitted by the connection.
