The invention relates to a system which is used to replace ball bone
joints. The inventive system consists of: a bone anchoring shell (1)
comprising a smooth articular surface (7) on the inner concave face
thereof; a prosthesis (5) comprising a polished ball (4) and a neck (6)
which is characterised in that it is smooth and slightly flared, in order
to enable a wear-free low friction movement; and a mobile articular cup
(3) which slides (i) on the ball (4) and the neck (6) of a prosthesis (5)
and (ii) in the smooth cavity (7) of the bone anchoring shell (1) and
which is characterised in that the opening (8) in said cup (3) tapers
towards the centre thereof, with an inside diameter (9) of equal to or
less than that of the ball (4), such that the flared part adapts
perfectly to the flared neck (6) in all of the respective positions of
the mobile parts.
