摘要:
Blade-like stem (10) of a hip joint prosthesis for anchoring in the femur, having a portion (19) comprising a prosthesis neck (18) on the one hand and a femur-anchoring portion (21) tapering towards a distal end (20) on the other hand, the lateral narrow side (22) of which comprises a distal straight portion (23) and a proximal arcuate portion (11), the straight portion (23) extending over a length (LD) of from 60% to 75% of the total length (LG) of the stem (10).
摘要:
An apparatus for manufacturing stranded cables from strand elements with alternating twist directions (SZ stranding). One or more storage disks can be disposed between a guide that receives the strand elements and a stranding disk. The stranding disk and the storage disks can be driven in alternating directions. At least one torsion element drives the storage disks with a respective rotation speed that decreases with increasing distance between the storage disks and the stranding disk. The torsion element can be driven at several locations with a different rotation speed.

A tool for placing or removing joint sockets of an artificial joint, especially a hip joint, and a tool for placing or removing an artificial joint, has a handle, a joint socket or joint receiver or holder, and a connecting element arranged between the handle and the joint socket or joint holder. The connecting element comprises an arcuate portion in its longitudinal direction. A system for placing and removing joint sockets or joints using such a tool includes a position-determining and navigation device.

A screw-nut for screwing implants together includes a thrust-shoulder which projects radially and presses axially against part of a housing. The screw-nut further includes an internal threaded portion adapted to fit a corresponding screw part, and a plurality of members, each mounted onto the side of the thrust-shoulder facing away from the part of the housing against which the thrust shoulder presses. These members are adapted to receive a tool for tightening the screw-nut. A plurality of leaf springs is included for engaging the housing part. The leaf springs, the ends of which form latching-in dogs, project, in the axial direction, from the screw-nut. The leaf springs are constructed such that, when the thrust-shoulder makes contact with the housing part, each latching-in dog snaps into a recess in the housing part in order to prevent loosening of the screw-nut from the housing part.
摘要:
An appliance (1) for tensioning ligaments, especially articular ligaments, of a human or animal body, having at least one handle (2), the or each handle (2) being in operative engagement with, in each case, a tensioning element (3) associated therewith, and with the or each handle (2) in each case a force indicator (4), which indicates a force exerted on a or each tensioning element (3) associated with the or each handle (2) on tensioning of one or more ligaments, and a displacement indicator (5), which indicates the excursion of the tensioning element (3) in question from a reference position, and with the or each force indicator (4) and/or with the or each displacement indicator (5) there is/are associated at least one marker (7A-7H), which is arranged to be detected without contact by a measurement value ascertainment system (20) associated with the appliance (1), and also a device (20), comprising the appliance (1), for ascertaining force-displacement characteristic curves of ligaments, and also a method of ascertaining them.
摘要:
A femur component of a hip joint endoprosthesis which has a shaft (1) for anchoring in the medullary cavity of the femur. The shaft (1) has a distal section (9) and a proximal section (8), to which is connected a collar section (2) with a peg (3) for receiving an articular head, or with an articular head which is firmly attached to the collar section (2). The shaft (1) has a front surface (4), a rear surface (5), a lateral side (6), a mesial side (7) and a plane of symmetry (11), whereby longitudinal ribs (10) which stretch from proximal to distal are fitted on the front surface (4) and the rear surface (5) in the proximal section (8) of the shaft (1). The crests (12) of the longitudinal ribs (10) form an angle &dgr;/2 of at least 1° to the plane of symmetry (11), and the envelope of the crests (123) of the longitudinal ribs (10) forms a double wedge-like or ellipsoid body, which tapers both toward the lateral side (6) and the mesial side (7).
摘要:
Mechanical joining of a two-phase tooth implant, consisting of two components which are joined by means of a conical pin projecting into a conical sleeve, the cone pairing being realized within the self-locking region and the cone pin being penetrated by a centrally aligned, tension screw reduced diameter which tensions the pair of cones against each other. The design permits the two implant components in a two-phase tooth implant to be steplessly positioned in the circumferential direction and to be joined in an anti-rotation, gap-free joint. The required degree of miniaturization, with a sufficient component strength, is achieved through the use of a cone combination in the self-locking region and through the use of a tension screw in the region of the cone joint. By these means, the mechanical, aesthetic and hygienic requirements for a two-phase tooth implant are better fulfilled than in the case of the known designs.

With the invention is shown an artificial knee joint, in which the rear cruciate ligament and the collateral ligaments are assumed as being retained. A metal platform is attached to the tibia and perpendicular to the tibia axis has a plane surface, on which three slide members are slidably disposed so as to guide the metal platform relative to the femur condyles made of metal within the limits of the degree of freedom remaining to them under the tension of the ligaments. A central slide member forms an eminentia rotatable around a pin, which guides the femur condyles directly or indirectly with respect to rotation around the tibia axis and which along its median line, which extends in the sagittal direction in the non-rotated central position, forms a direct or indirect longitudinal guiding device for the femur condyles, while the flexion movement is guided at doubly curved femur condyles by the two outer slide members.
