The implant has a base body having a load axis, along which primarily at least one of tensile and compressive forces are transmissible； and a swivel joint (11,12,13) formed in one piece with the base body. The swivel joint has a rotary axis formed transversely to the load axis. The rotary axis facilitates limited bending of the base body about the rotary axis. An independent claim for a connecting rod.本發明係有關一種具永久或暫時植入人體或動物體內之植入器的穩固系統，其係包括有一用以連接分離的身體部位及/或連接其他植入器構件的主體，一供傳送主要的拉力及/或擠壓力的負載軸，及至少一相對該負載軸橫伸的旋轉軸，該旋轉軸協助主體彎曲，尤其是主體的兩端，該至少一旋轉軸被一轉動關節所界定，該轉動關節與該主體一體成形。
