Claim 0:
1. A femoral element for a spacer device for a knee joint, said femoral element being designed to be constrained to a femoral bone and having a substantially “C” plan configuration, wherein each free end of the “C” delimits a condylar portion or posterior lobe of said femoral element, said femoral element having a first articulation surface facing, in use, towards a tibial element for articulating said femoral element on or with a tibial element, and a second surface opposite thereto for attachment to a femoral bone,
wherein said first articulation surface has, at a rear or at each posterior lobe or condylar portion, a terminal section opening or extending up to a free or terminal edge of said posterior lobe or condylar portion, said terminal section being straight by having parallel inner and outer walls and extending so as to be, in use, parallel to a craniocaudal axis, or inclined with respect to the craniocaudal axis, or said terminal section being curved and having a radius of curvature at least 50% larger than a radius of curvature of an adjacent and subsequent section of the first articulation surface.
