Abstract
The invention relates to a bone implant for joint endoprostheses with a collarless, truncated-cone-shaped shaft (3) which can be inserted into a recess (1) of a bone (2) and which supports a joint piece (7), which shaft (3) has a surface area (8) with a plurality of protrusions (9). It is provided by the invention that the protrusions (9) are formed by local teeth rising from the surface area (8), the distal areas of which have at least one cutting or abrading edge or surface (10) for abrading the bone (2) during insertion or for creating a space for the protrusions (9) so that they can be placed into the bone (2).
