Abstract

A resection prosthesis assembly unit including a head member, an end member and an intermediate member between the head and end members, of which one member is provided with a conical pin and another member is provided with a conical bore, with the latter two members being provided with respective first surfaces which extend transversely to an insertion direction and which face one another and are spaced apart to define a recess when the two members are connected together, one of the two members being further provided with a second surface extending in the insertion direction, and the recess being provided to receive a wedge insertable into the recess to bear against the first surfaces for forcing the two members apart while the forces exerted by the wedge are absorbed by the first surfaces and the wedge is guided by the second surface.
