Abstract
The implant ( ) has an anchoring part ( ) with an axis ( ), a generally cylindrical section and a peripheral surface ( ). The latter is provided, in the generally cylindrical section, with protuberances ( ) which are distributed around the axis ( ). At least the majority of these protuberances are elongate and parallel with the axis ( ) and have at least one terminal surface which is contiguous with a recess ( ) having a base formed by the peripheral surface ( ). In this way, the anchoring part ( ) can be pushed into a substantially cylindrical hole ( ) in a bone ( ) such that the implant ( ) is immediately anchored in the bone ( ) in a stable manner, said implant nevertheless having a high degree of strength.
