DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to the drawings and in order to render them clearer, the bones in which the prosthetic components are implanted have been shown solely in FIGS. 1 to 3, 5, 6 and 8. The prosthesis P shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 comprises a humeral component 1 which includes a stem 11 intended to be anchored in the medullary canal of the patient's humerus H and of which the metaphyseal part 12 comprises a truncated housing 13 for receiving and wedging a shank 14 for anchoring a member or stud 15 intended to be added and immobilized on the stem 11. This member, which is in one piece, also comprises a neck 16 in the form of a stem which connects a globally spherical part 17 to the principal part of the member 15 which comprises the shank 14. The member 15 is also provided with a globally rectangular flange 18 of which the outer shape allows it to be engaged in a globally rectangular depression 19 made on the part 12, around the housing 13. S1 denotes the concave surface of the flange 18 turned towards the part 17. X1 denotes the longitudinal axis of the elements 14 and 16. Y1 denotes a longitudinal axis of the depression 19 parallel to its largest sides and located at equal distance therefrom. The surface S1 is a portion of cylinder with rectilinear generatrix and with circular base, centred on an axis Z1 perpendicular to the axes X1 and Y1, axis Z1 being located globally in an antero-posterior direction of the shoulder when the prosthesis is in mounted and implanted configuration. The prosthesis P also comprises a glenoidal component 2 anchored in the glenoid cavity G and defining a concave surface S2 whose concavity is turned towards the outside of the glenoid cavity. Between the components 1 and 2 there is disposed an intermediate component 3 comprising a hollow cup 31 inside which is immobilized by any appropriate means a ring 32 which defines an elongated opening 33 of which the largest dimension extends along an axis Y3 globally parallel to axis Y1 when the prosthesis is in mounted configuration. In its median part, the opening 33 is provided with a widened zone 34 through which the part 17 is intended to be introduced by force in a volume V3 defined inside the component 3, between the cup 31 and the ring 32. The ring 32 is made of plastics material, particularly polyethylene, which allows it to be elastically deformed at the level of the zone 34, when the part 17 is introduced in the volume V3. In order to facilitate this introduction, the zone 34 is convergent in the direction of the volume V3. The diameter d17 of the part 17 is greater than the width l33 of the opening 33, including at the level of the zone 34, while the diameter d16 of the neck 16 is slightly less than this width. In this way, when the part 17 has been introduced in the volume V3, it resists an effort of separation of the elements 1 and 3 and contributes to the tear-away resistance of the prosthesis P. The respective values of the diameter d16 and of the width l33 are compatible with the translation of the neck or stem 16 in the longitudinal direction Y3 of the opening 33. S′2 denotes the convex outer surface of the cup 31. S′1 denotes the part of the outer surface 35 of the ring 32 which surrounds the opening 33. The surface 35 is the surface of the ring 32 facing opposite the volume V3. The surface S′2 is a portion of sphere with a radius similar to that of the surface S2, this allowing a surface articulation of the surfaces S2 and S′2 on each other. The surface S′1 is a portion of cylinder with rectilinear generatrix and with circular base centred on an axis Z3 perpendicular to axis Y3 and merged with axis Z1 when the surfaces S1 and S′1 are in abutment on each other. In this way, the articulation of the humerus H with respect to the glenoid cavity G takes place by slide of the surfaces S1 and S′1 on each other and of surfaces S2 and S′2 on each other. The surface S′1 is hollowed with respect to the rest of the outer surface 35 of the ring 32 which forms a sort of slideway. The surface S′1 is defined between the two edges 36 and 36′ of this slideway, parallel to the axis Y3 and separated by a distance d36 slightly greater than the width l18 of the flange 18. In this way, the flange 18 may be partially engaged between the edges 36 and 36′, this contributing to the guiding in translation of the component 3 with respect to the component 1. The inner surface 39 of the ring 32 has the same radius of curvature as the surface 35. According to a variant of the invention (not shown), the surfaces S1 and S′1 may be portions of sphere instead of portions of cylinder. In that case, the guiding of the stem 16 in translation is essentially ensured by the edges of the slideway. According to a variant of the invention (not shown), the axis Y1-Y′1 of the depression 19 may be located in an antero-posterior direction, while axis Z1 is located in a supero-inferior direction. Such a variant promotes the movement of abduction. According to other variants (not shown), the part 17 may take different shapes, for example frustum of cone. In the second form of embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, elements similar to those of the first embodiment bear identical references increased by 100. The prosthesis P of this embodiment is intended to fit a patient's hip. A femoral component 101 comprises a stem 111 intended to be anchored in the medullary canal of the femur F, and a metaphyseal part 112 in which is made a housing 113 for receiving and blocking a shank 114 for anchoring a one-piece member 115 which comprises a neck 116 in the form of a stem joining a head 117 to the shank 114. An acetabular component 102 is fixed in the hip bone I. As previously, an intermediate component 103 is formed by a cup 131 in which is clipped a ring 132 made of plastics material. An elongated opening 133 is made in the ring 132 and extends in the direction of an axis Y3. In a variant, the ring 132 might be made of metal. The width l133 of the opening 133 is smaller than the largest dimension. L117 of the head 117 and greater than the diameter d116 of the neck 116 in the form of a stem. The smallest dimension l117 of the head 117 is substantially equal to the diameter d116, this making it possible to introduce the head 117 in an interior volume V103 of the component 103, defined between the cup 131 and the ring 132, by aligning the largest dimension of the head 117 on the axis Y3. By rotating the member 115 through about 90� about axis X1 common to the parts 114 and 116, the head 117 is then retained in the volume V103. S2 denotes the concave surface defined by the component 102. S′2 denotes the outer convex surface of the cup 131. The surfaces S2 and S′2 are globally in the form of portions of sphere, this making it possible to create an articulation between these two surfaces. As in the first form of embodiment, a first convex surface of articulation S′1 is made on the outer surface 135 of the ring 132, around the opening 133. A convex surface S′1 is formed on a projecting part 137 of the ring 132 of which 136 and 136′ denote the longitudinal edges which are parallel to axis Y3. A concave surface S1 complementary of the surface S′ is formed by the metaphyseal part 112 and constitutes the bottom of a depression 119 of globally rectangular section made in the exposed face 112 a of the part 112, when the component 101 is in place in the femur F. The depression 119 is of elongated shape, with its largest dimension located along an axis Y1 globally parallel to axis Y3 when the prosthesis is in mounted configuration. 118 and 118′ denote the longitudinal edges of the depression 119. The distance d118 between these edges is slightly greater than the width of the part 137 which corresponds, in fact, to the distance d136 between the edges 136 and 136′. This contributes to the lateral guiding between the components 101 and 103, as the part 137 is partially engaged in the depression or slideway 119 when the components 1 and 3 are in abutment on each other. The surfaces S1 and S′1 may be in the form of portions of sphere or portions of cylinder with circular base and rectilinear generatrix. In the third form of embodiment of the invention, shown in FIGS. 8 to 13, elements similar to those of the first embodiment bear identical references increased by 200. The prosthesis P of this embodiment is intended to fit a patient's shoulder and comprises a humeral component 201 presenting substantially the same geometry as the humeral component of the first embodiment. A member 215 is intended to be anchored by a shank 214 in a housing 213 made in the metaphyseal part 212 of the component 201. The member 215 has substantially the same geometry as the member 15 of the first embodiment except that its head 217 is of globally rectangular section. As in the first embodiment, the member 215 defines a concave surface of articulation S1. A glenoidal component 202 is intended to be fixed in the glenoid cavity and defines a likewise concave surface S2. An intermediate component 203, provided to be disposed between the components 201 and 202, is formed by a cup 231 and a ring 232 immobilized on this cup by any appropriate means, for example by crimping. The ring 232 defines an elongated opening 233 for receiving and guiding a stem-shaped neck 216 which joins the head 217 to a flange 218 and to the shank 214, the flange 218 defining the surface S1. A convex surface S′1 complementary of surface S1 is formed on the outer surface 235 of the ring 232, while the outer surface S′2 of the ring 231 is complementary of the surface S2. As is more particularly visible in FIGS. 9 and 12 where the cup 231 has been omitted to render the drawings clearer, the head 217 has a length L217 greater than the width l233 of the opening 233 over the greatest part of its length. In order to allow the introduction of the head 217 in the interior volume V203 of the component 203, the opening 233 is provided with a widened zone 234 made in the vicinity of one of its ends and of which the width l234 is greater than the length L217. In order to guarantee that the head 217 is retained in the volume V203, the ring 232 is provided with two heels 238 and 238′ intended to come into abutment against the exposed face 212 a of the metaphyseal part 212 when the component 201 is in place in the humerus, this blocking the ring 232 in the configuration of FIGS. 11 and 12 and avoiding a displacement of the head 217 in the direction of arrow F1 in FIG. 12, thus preventing an alignment of this head with the opening 204 and, consequently, the withdrawal of the head 217 from the volume V203. In this way, when the head 217 has been introduced in the volume V203, it participates in the resistance of the assembly of the prosthesis P. According to a variant of the invention (not shown), the function of the heels 238 and 238′ might be performed by one or more elements in relief made on the inner surface 239 of the ring 232, for example on either side of the opening 233 and in the vicinity of the zone 234. The or each element in relief would in that case prevent the head 217 from moving towards the left from its position in FIG. 12. According to another variant of the invention (not shown), elements in relief with the same function as the heels 238 and 238′ may be provided on the face 212 a, and even on both components 201 and 203. The width l233 is slightly greater than the diameter d216 of the stem 216. As in the first embodiment, the surface S′1 is defined between the edges parallel to direction Y3 forming a slideway and between which the flange 218 may be introduced. Similarly, the surfaces S1 and S′1 may be portions of sphere or of cylinder, and even of other surfaces of adapted shape. The invention has been shown when used in total shoulder and hip prostheses. However, it is applicable with a shoulder prosthesis not having a glenoidal component, the anatomical surface of articulation of the glenoid cavity being used instead of the surface S2 represented in the Figures. Similarly, in the case of a hip prosthesis, the natural acetabular cavity may be used. The characteristics of the different forms of embodiment may be combined together. In particular, the prosthesis of the second embodiment may be adapted to the shoulder, while the prostheses of the first and third embodiments may be adapted to the hip.
