A prosthetic device with sub-periosteal, periosteal, or bone surface attachment for stress support, comprising a rigid reinforcing member and an elastomer-impregnated fibrous or woven fabric covering such member and firmly fixed to it. In one embodiment, a fibrous reinforced elastomer condyle-like member is affixed to one end of such reinforcing member, and a flexible pedicle extends outwardly from such condyle-like member and has at its remote end a bone-attaching head comprising a flat or disc base with a bone-exposed covering or coating of a tissue-ingrowth-receptive, open-pore fabric, to assist in providing a joint function. There is also affixed to the bone-exposed face of the elastomer-covered reinforcing member a coating of such tissue-ingrowth-receptive, open-pore fabric. All the elements where attached are firmly fixed to each other, the reinforcing member being also suitably sutured to the elastomer-impregnated fabric. The fiber and fabric parts are advantageously of Dacron, the fabric being preferably of Dacron velour; and the elastomer is advantageously silicone rubber. The device is adapted for insertion as a load-bearing element. A method for making the above device is also provided.
