The present application relates to an assembly for a joint (), the joint comprising a joint implant () between a proximal segment of a limb that is proximal to the joint and a distal segment of the limb that is distal to the joint and in which the joint is configured to allow rotation of the proximal and distal segments with respect to one another about an axis that intersects a first plane, and to inhibit rotation in the second and third plane, both perpendicular to the first plane, the assembly being for subjecting the joint at predetermined angles of the joint rotation in the second and third plane to a defined bending moment to induce a load to the implant that causes a movement of the implant in relation to the bone of the proximal or distal segments.
