Abstract
Abstract The shaft of an endoprosthesis consists of a core (3) which ensures the necessary strength, and of a jacket (7) of a thermoplastic material whose softening temperature is below 60 DEG C. <??>The jacket can be made fluid by heating, whereby a good fit to, and a secure anchoring in, the bone cavity are achieved on implantation; in addition, the jacket (7) which has been fixed by cooling can at any time be made capable of plastic deformation again by heating, which considerably facilitates revision. <IMAGE>
