Abstract
In a method for the releasing of an insert (3, 3a) from the shell (2, 2a) of an artificial joint pan (1, 1a) the insert (3, 3a) is firmly arranged in the shell (2, 2a) of the joint pan (1, 1a). It is removable from the shell (2, 2a) after the releasing from the shell (2, 2a). For the releasing of the insert (3, 3a) from the shell (2, 2a) a fluid is introduced between the insert (3, 3a) and the shell (2, 2a) which effects the releasing of the insert (3, 3a) from the shell (2, 2a).
