Abstract: The invention provides an articular prosthetic implant with temporary fixing, more particularly intended for the feet and the hands, characterized in that it is formed, on the one hand, of a cup or similar, shape formed centrally with a hole (2) and intended to be positioned between two bone pieces (4,5) in line with their articulation and, on the other hand, a reovable fixing pin (3) able to slide freely in the hole (2) in said cup (1), for temporarily immobilizing the cup (1) and the adjacent bone pieces (4,5) by being inserted through the medullary canals of the bone pieces concerned (4,5,6) and the hole (2) in the previously positioned cup (1).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a shoe, particularly for post-surgery or post-trauma use, intended to be worn by a patient whose ball of the foot is suffering from an injury or from any sort of damage which may be painful, this shoe comprising an upper (1) which is integral with a block sole (2) of which the posterior part is constituted of a heel (3) which is substantially thicker at the front than at the back.In the invention, the block sole (2) comprises a thin anterior part (4) which extends the top part of the heel forward with the same inclination as the latter and which presents larger crosswise and lengthwise dimensions than those of the foot (P). This thin anterior part (4) is practically indeformable lengthwise and crosswise, but can flex in its height in an area (A) situated essentially at the point of the Lisfranc division of the foot, without coming into contact with the ground.

Abstract: A shoe, more especially for patients having undergone a surgical operation on the fore-foot.It comprises an upper (1) open at the front, this upper being formed from two quarters (2) for wrapping round the rear part of the patient's foot and an inner sole (3) resting on a thick sole (4), substantially higher at the front than at the back.
