Abstract: An implantable elbow prosthesis (1) comprises an ulnar component (2) and a humeral component (3) wherein the head (21) of the ulnar component is designed in a bifurcated shape with two horns (22, 23) and the head (31) of the humeral component comprises a rotatable spindle (34) between two projecting flanges (32, 33). The joint component of the prosthesis is formed by arranging the head (21) of the ulnar component to engage with the spindle (34) of the humeral component. In each of the horns (22, 23) on the ulnar component (2) there is provided a groove (24, 25) which terminates in a respective blind hold (24, 25) on each horn (22, 23). A C-ring form of clip (4) connects the heads (21, 31) of the ulnar component and the humeral component, while maintaining the desired degree of freedom of movement for the elbow joint and a predetermined tolerance of movement.
