Abstract
Abstract Between two anchoring elements (4, 5), the new joint endoprosthesis (3) consists of a compressible, elastic hollow body (6), which delimits a closed hollow cavity (7). This hollow cavity (7) is filled with a free-flowing, non-compressible medium (8), for example with a fluid tolerated by the body. <??>With the new prosthesis, when pressure loading occurs in the vicinity of the edge, tensile forces on the anchoring elements (4, 5) and their connections to the bone tissue are avoided by a displacement of free-flowing fluid volume into the "unloaded" area of the prosthesis. <IMAGE>
