The femur prosthesis part consists of a stem to be anchored in the femur bone and the sledge part, separate from and to be connected to the stem. The stem extends laterally like a fork over the connecting bridge of the sledges of the sledge part, and the ends of the fork arms have flanges which form stops against the lower end of the femur bone and, after connection of the sledge part to the stem, are supported on the top of the sledges.
