An artificial joint mechanism (1) with a flexible mid-section and which, by means of connecting members or pins (2) cooperates with anchoring members arranged in the bone tissue. At least the mid-section of the joint mechanism is provided with suitable reinforcements (3) in the form of fibers, strips, layer, etc. of a suitable flexible, resilient material to optimally impart normal joint function, partly in order to guarantee the ablity of the artificial joint to withstand repeated bending stress and partly to provide the artificial joint with a necessarily limited pivotability. The reinforcement has various configurations and are either inside or outside the mid-section and usually extending along the body toward the end pins. <IMAGE> |
