摘要

A self-locking prosthesis of which the pin, for insertion into a bone, produced in a biologically compatible material, is split through its width and through part of its length, so as to form at least two separate branches, characterized in that the material constituting the pin has a sharp memory effect and a martensite transformation temperature Ms lower than the human body temperature.
