The neck is integral with a ball on which a cylindrical head articulates. The cylindrical articulating head includes an upper face of concave profile which cooperates with the epicondylar surface of the humeral element and a cylindrical circumference cooperating with an outer articular surface provided on the outer flank of a flange of the ulnar element.
