The invention features acetabular components for an artificial hip. The invention also features methods and tools for assembling a hip prosthesis that includes the acetabular components of the invention.

An implant for use in a medical procedure includes an anchor body and a flexible material. The anchor body includes a perimeter sidewall having an upper free edge, an outer surface, and an inner surface. The anchor body also includes a bottom wall, connecting the sidewall on one edge, which has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surfaces of the sidewall and bottom wall define a cavity and the upper free edge of the sidewall defines a top opening into the cavity. The flexible material is connected to the anchor body and is positioned in the cavity with at least a portion extending out of the top opening.

A modular humeral prosthesis suitable for implant in a humeral seating of a humerus comprises an articulation component, a distal joint element able to be inserted into said humeral seating along an insertion axis, and an adapter body provided with a support positionable in the humeral seating and that has a coupling seating to connect said articulation component and provided with a connection unit inserted into said support to connect said distal joint element to said adapter body in a releasable manner. The connection unit comprises a clamping element associated in a selectively releasable manner to the distal joint element and the support has a through coupling seating configured to receive and position said clamping element inside it, and also configured to allow the insertion and extraction of said distal joint element through said support without removing said support from the humeral seating.

Bifunctional and assembled implants are provided for osteochondral implantation.
