The anchoring shank is provided with a plurality of depressions which are arranged in fish-scale manner. Each depression is of arch-like shape with flanks which taper conically towards the proximal end of the shank. In addition, each depression merges into the shank at the distal end while having a trough parallel to the axis of the shank. The depressions serve to improve the adhesion between the bone cement bed and the shank obviates looseness caused by shrinkage of the bone cement bed.
