The present invention relates to a removable implant for generating a tendon or a ligament as a replacement for a torn tendon or ligament, said implant having a hollow tubular body (2) made of a biocompatible and non-resorbable material, with an internal lumen (3) delimited by a lateral wall (4) through which one or more outlet orifices (5) open out to the outer surface of the tubular body via lateral openings, said tubular body opening out, at first and second ends (6-1, 6-2) intended to be fixed to a first and a second member, via first and second end openings (7-1, 7-2), the cumulative surface area of the one or more lateral openings representing more than 10% and less than 25% of the outer surface area of said tubular body. |
