Means for fixing a joint prosthesis the stem of which is provided with a friction surface (2). Said means comprises a substantially homogeneous mixture of a biologically compatible granular material in which the grains (3) have a substantially even particle size distribution and are substantially irregular and/or plastic. A method for fixing said joint prosthesis consists in that a cavity is reamed in the bone in which the prosthesis is to be applied, that grains (3) of biologically compatible material are applied in said cavity so as to form a grain bed, that the prosthesis is driven down into said grain bed until substantially the entire prosthesis stem is surrounded by the grains, that the grains are subjected to an external force, and that a device (5) for retaining the grains is applied on said bed around the prosthesis stem. <IMAGE> |
