Abstract: A joint prosthesis component system allows an inferior component of a prosthesis
system to be offset from a superior component of the system. In one embodiment the joint
prothesis component system comprises a tibial tray having an offset tibial stem. An adapter
element connects between the tibial tray and tibial stem to provide the desired degree of
offset and the orientation of the offset. The adapter element is constructed such that a
longitudinal axis extending through a first end thereof is offset from a longitudinal axis
extending through a second end thereof.

L'essentiel de l'invention porte sur la préfabrication de poutres longitudinales (5) fixées sur des supports (2, 3) du plancher intérieur (1) et sur la colonne intermédiaire (4a) du plancher intérieur continu (1a). La poutre (5) est constituée d'une dalle avec une armature en acier diagonale, triangulaire et hélicoïdale, dont les coins sont renforcés par des profilés plats en acier qui sont 'soudés' par du béton à grains fins remplissant la brique creuse supérieure (10) et la brique creuse inférieure (11). Les poutres (5) peuvent être droites, mais aussi incurvées horizontalement ou verticalement, circulaires ou torsadées. Entre les poutres (5), disposées à égale distance les unes des autres, les briques creuses inférieures sont surmontées de blocs de briques creux inférieurs (6) et d'au moins deux rangées de blocs de briques creux non porteurs supérieurs légers (7). Les blocs (6, 7) sont en terre cuite.
