| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed towards a prosthetic anchor ( 36 ) including a central layer ( 1 ) through which embedded fibers ( 2 ), such as artificial tendons, pass in defined pathways ( 4 ), a 'deep' surface membrane ( 7 ) which interfaces with a hard structure, whether that is a prosthesis, a bone, or other hard tissue, and a 'superficial' surface membrane ( 8 ) which interfaces adjacent tissue and may be configured to adhere or not to adhere to that tissue. The central layer ( 1 ) is positioned intermediate the surface membranes ( 7, 8 ) which are mechanically and/or adherently attached thereto. Also, non-limiting examples of methods of fabrication and of affixing the anchor ( 36 ) to a relatively rigid structure, natural or prosthetic, in a human or animal body with improved stress distribution in the fixed tension member end are taught.
