Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for controlled loading of a reconstructed human or animal tissue during the healing phase, comprising an anchor element (10) for implanting in a first bone (50), at least one connecting element (20), and one retaining element (30) for the at least one connecting element (20) on a second bone (40). The anchor element (10) and/or the connecting element (20) and/or the retaining element (30) are made of self-dissolving bioresorbable material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a joint socket (1) for a hip-joint endoprosthesis (2), wherein the joint socket (1) comprises ageing-resistant materials and forms a low-abrasion sliding pair together with a joint head (3). The joint socket (1) provides an implant surface (4), which is formed from a material with a porous surface, wherein the isoelastic structure of the joint socket (1) according to the invention and the joint head (3) achieves a physiological load transfer by means of specially designed materials, of which the modulus of elasticity is adapted to the values of a spongy bone material.
Abstract:
A knee joint endoprosthesis (1) for forming an articulation between a femur and a tibia comprises a femur component (2), which is connected to the femur, a tibia component (4), which is connected to the tibia, and an intermediate element (3) which is mounted between the tibia component (4) and the femur component (2), lies against the femur component (2) with a modular sliding surface (9), comprising a lateral sliding surface (9a) and a medial sliding surface (9b), and can be connected in a releasable manner to the tibia component (4). The lateral sliding surface (9a) and the medial sliding surface (9b) of the intermediate element (3) have different sagittal cross-sectional profiles.
Abstract:
A ligament-tensioning device (1) for preparing the implantation of an articulated implant consists of a base body (5) comprising first claws (6, 6′) provided with first bearing surfaces (7, 7′) applied to a first bone part (33) and second claws (13, 13′) provided with a second bearing surfaces (10, 10′) applied to a second bone part (34). The claws (6, 6′; 13, 13′) are displaceable with respect to each other with the aid of parallel-displacement devices (12, 12′). In addition, the invention provides for a first scale (31) disposed on the base body (5) of the ligament-tensioning device (1) and second medial and lateral scales (32, 32′) corresponding to the first scale (31), wherein the second scales (32, 32′) are disposed on a guiding body (3) which is movably mounted with respect to said base body (5) by means of the parallel-displacement devices (12, 12). The scales (31, 32; 31, 32′) can be brought into congruence in such a way that the height of an implant insertable into the treatable joint is separately medially and laterally presettable.
Abstract:
A ligament-tensioning device for preparing for the implantation of a joint implant has a base body, having a first claw with a distal bearing surface which rests on a first bone, and a second claw which rests, with a proximal bearing surface, against a second bone. The second claw is displaceable parallel to the first claw. A cutting jig can be placed onto mounts of the base body of the ligament-tensioning device.
