Abstract
The invention relates to an artificial joint system which, by a combination of defined pretension in the implant in the resection plane and a wholly or partially resorbable shaft or clamping system connects, after a transition period after implantation, the intermediate member of the implant with the remaining bone in the resection plane and the shaft required in the long bone during the transition period decomposes at the surface or the clamping system of the intermediate member deomposes to such an extent that unphysiological force transmission into the bone through the shaft of the implant or through the clamping system is no longer possible.
