摘要： The invention relates to an implantable orthopaedic device comprising a load-bearing element, such as a bone plate, for fixing elements, such as bone screws, that can be oriented polyaxially. The load-bearing element is equipped with at least one opening for the passage of the fixing elements. A two part insert is provided in the opening, the insert having an external form that complements the internal form of the receiving opening and permits the polyaxial rotation of the insert in the opening. The insert is equipped with a central bore for receiving the body of the fixing element. The first insert element part has a central inner hollow chamber, into which the second insert element part can be introduced. The first insert element is flexible or has at least one slit, in such a way that when the two insert elements are displaced axially in relation to one another, the first insert element in the plate can be expanded at least partially in order to block the position and alignment of the fixing element in the device in a polyaxial manner.

摘要： In a method for the production of a corrugated tube from a flat metal sheet, two half shells are formed each extending in a longitudinal direction, and the half shells are provided with corrugations oriented transversely to their longitudinal direction. The two half shells are either disposed in a single sheet metal part longitudinally next to one another or are separate parts. In the case of their formation with two half shells disposed in a common sheet metal part next to one another, the preformed sheet metal part in the region between the two half shells is folded or curved about an axis parallel to the longitudinal directions of the half shells, wherein free longitudinal edges of the half shells are brought into mutual contact and are connected with one another. In the case of the formation of the half shells in the form of separate parts, the two half shells are placed against one another with their longitudinal edges and the longitudinal edges are connected with one another. At least one of the two longitudinal edges, coming into mutual contact, of the subshells is provided with a row of cutouts spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the subshells. Through the connection of sections of this longitudinal edge, located between the cutouts, together with the other longitudinal edge in the connection region of the two longitudinal edges, a row of openings through the casing of the corrugated tube is formed, which openings are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the corrugated tube.
