Abstract: The shoulder prosthesis has a stem (10), a ball head (20) and a middle section (30) that can be attached to the proximal end (12) of the stem (10) and to which the ball head (50) can be attached. The middle section (30) can be clamped to an attachment element (20) that is adjustable in a first direction at the proximal end (12) of the stem (10), the first direction lying in the resection plane or parallel thereto. The first direction generally runs approximately medially-laterally. The attachment element (20) can be displaceable on the stem (10) by means of a dovetail guide (15) or guided displaceable in a guide bore in the stem (10). The middle section can be clamped against the attachment element (20), whereby the attachment element (20) and the middle section (30) can be fixed.

Abstract: A setting instrument for a tibia part (1) of a knee joint prosthesis comprises a separate attachment piece (2) for the securing at the tibia part (1) and comprises a hand piece (3) which can be brought firmly into engagement with the separate attachment piece (2).

Abstract: The tibia platform (1) contains a joint support (5) and an anchoring part (4) with passage openings (12) for fastening elements (14) for fastening the anchoring part (4) to the tibia bone (3). The passage openings (12) are each executed with a femur-side, upper countersink (25). At least one passage opening (12) not used for the fastening is provided with a closure plug (15) which can be inserted from above, which is executed with a supporting surface (16a) running around this sealing surface (16a) and can be braced in the countersink (25). The closure plug (15) contains a number of spring tongues (18) which can be introduced into the relevant passage opening (12) and which form a snap connection with the wall of the passage opening (12), and a central cylindrical protusion (17) which is provided with a blind bore (17a) open upwards for receiving a setting tool (20).
