Abstract: The fusion device for fusing a synovial joint of a human or animal patient, in particular a human facet joint, finger joint or toe joint, includes two pin-shaped anchorage portions and arranged therebetween a stabilization portion. The anchorage portions include a thermoplastic material which is liquefiable by mechanical vibration. The stabilization portion preferably has a surface which is equipped for enhancing osseointegration. The anchorage portions have a greater thickness and a greater depth than the stabilization portion. Then the fusion device is pushed between the articular surfaces and mechanical vibration, in particular ultrasonic vibration, is applied to the proximal face of the fusion device. Thereby the liquefiable material is liquefied where in contact with the bone tissue and penetrates into the bone tissue, where after re-solidification it constitutes a positive fit connection between the fusion device and the bone tissue.

Abstract translation: 用于融合人或动物患者，特别是人类关节，指关节或脚趾关节的滑膜关节的融合装置包括两个销状锚固部分，并且在其间布置有稳定部分。 锚固部分​​包括可通过机械振动液化的热塑性材料。 稳定部分优选具有用于增强骨整合的表面。 锚固部分​​具有比稳定部分更大的厚度和更大的深度。 然后，将融合装置推入关节面之间，并将机械振动，特别是超声波振动施加到融合装置的近侧面。 因此，液化材料在与骨组织接触的地方液化，并渗透到骨组织中，其中在再固化之后，它构成融合装置和骨组织之间的正配合连接。
