Zusammenfassung:Disk-shaped augmentation for filling bone defects, in particular at the end of long bones, such as the tibia, including a first side, a second side, an outer sheath on lateral sides and an inner wall for a through-opening, running from the first to the second side, for a anchoring keel of an endoprosthesis arranged on the second side. The augment is generally C-shaped with two legs flanking the through-opening. According to the invention, a connecting piece between the legs is designed in an articulated manner and cooperates resiliently with the legs such that a frame is formed, and an outwardly directed restoring force is generated when the legs are compressed.
