<p>A joint device is disclosed for use as a prosthesis in a human or animal body. The joint device comprises a T-shaped member having a transverse pin (5) fixedly connected to a column member (7) and a pair of transverse sleeves (6) configured to receive the pin (5) and allow the pin (5) to rotate about its longitudinal axis within the sleeves (6). The sleeves (6) engage a bore in a first bone F and the column member (7) is coupled to a second bone T so that the first and second bones F, T are pivotably interconnected by the joint device. The sleeves 6 are compressible so as to allow multi-directional movement of the bones F, T in the joint.</p> |
