THE INVENTION RELATES TO PROSTHESES INTENDED FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ARTICULAR CARTILAGE, AS WELL AS A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SUCH PROSTHESES. A BONE SEGMENT, TAKEN FROM A MAMMAL, IS FACTORY FOLLOWING A DESIRED SHAPE, AND IS THEN SUBJECTED TO A DIFFERENTIAL DEMINERALIZATION SO THAT WE OBTAIN A DEMINERALIZED PART 3, OF SPONGIOUS TEXTURE, AND A NON DEMINERALIZED PART 2 TO BE IMPLANTED FROM CONTIGUOUS TO BONE 9. THE BONE SEGMENT SO PREPARED IS THEN SUBJECT TO GLUTARALDEHYDE TANNING. FIELD OF APPLICATION: PROSTHESES FOR ARTICULATIONS. |
