Abstract
Hip joint implant for fastening to a pelvic bone (), with a support body which has a socket () and whose convex outer face is designed to bear on the pelvic bone () and which, on its concave inner face, has a receiving seat for a pelvis-side bearing that is designed to receive a joint head of a femoral component of a hip prosthesis, and with outwardly directed flat fastening brackets () which are arranged at the edge region of the socket () and are each provided with at least one receiving seat for a fastening means. The fastening brackets () are made of a reshapeable biocompatible material and are connected to the socket () via a non-releasable cohesive bond (), wherein the socket () is made of another, stiffer biocompatible material. A high degree of robustness of the socket () is thus combined with what is, by virtue of the reshapeability, an improved adaptation to the anatomical conditions of the respective pelvic bone. This improves reliability of fastening, stability and long-term behavior.
