This prosthesis (1) comprises two parts (5, 6) extending mainly in a plane and a flexible element (7) interposed between these two parts (5, 6), this flexible element (7) comprising, on two opposite sides two zones of contact with these parts (5, 6) and allowing, by its elastic deformation, movement of approximation / removal of said parts (5, 6) in a direction perpendicular to said plane. According to the invention, each part (5, 6) has a face of rounded shape intended to come into contact with the corresponding contact area of the flexible element (7) and forms a free space (28) surrounding this face of round shape ; - said contact areas that comprises the flexible element (7) have rounded shapes corresponding to the rounded shapes of the respective faces of said parts (5, 6); said free space (28) surrounds the whole of the periphery of the flexible element (7), and the parts (5, 6) have means (23, 33) for guiding their movement towards / away from each other. one with respect to the other, these guide means (23, 33) only allowing these movements of approximation / removal.Cette prothèse (1) comprend deux pièces (5, 6) s'étendant principalement dans un plan et un élément souple (7) interposé entre ces deux pièces (5, 6), cet élément souple (7) comprenant, sur deux côtés opposés, deux zones de contact avec ces pièces (5, 6) et permettant, par sa déformation élastique, des mouvements de rapprochement/éloignement desdites pièces (5, 6) selon une direction perpendiculaire audit plan. Selon l'invention, - chaque pièce (5, 6) présente une face de forme arrondie destinée à venir en contact avec la zone de contact correspondante de l'élément souple (7) et forme un espace libre (28) entourant cette face de forme arrondie ; - lesdites zones de contact que comprend l'élément souple (7) présentent des formes arrondies correspondant aux formes arrondies des faces respectives desdites pièces (5, 6) ; - ledit espace libre (28) entoure l'ensemble de la périphérie de l'élément sou
