Abstract
The implantable prosthesis for replacing a human knee joint comprises a femoral prosthetic element () and a tibial prosthetic element () which are articulated with one another by means of a joint device () for the purpose of executing a knee bend. The tibial prosthetic element () has a through-opening () for the passage of a tool (), a rod-like shaft anchoring part () or an intramedullary lengthening nail (). In order to reduce the extent of a surgical intervention and thus the risk of infection also for the lengthening of the tibia, the joint device () is designed such that it forms a guide channel () for the passage of the tool (), the rod-like shaft anchoring part () or the intramedullary lengthening nail () from the outside, which guide channel is in alignment with the through-opening () and is in connection therewith when the tibial prosthetic element () and the femoral prosthetic element () are arranged at a predetermined angle relative to one another in a functional position corresponding to a knee bend.
