Abstract: An orthopedic nail of generally rod-like shape having a through hole extending from a first side to a second side of the orthopedic nail and being adapted to receive a screw and/or a pin, a first end of the through hole at the first side defining a rim region, wherein at least one surface notch is provided in the rim region at and restricted to an outer circumferential surface of the orthopedic nail, the surface notch being arranged transverse to a nail axis of the orthopedic nail, a width (W) of the surface notch in the direction of the nail axis being smaller than a diameter of the through hole.

Abstract: An implant is described for fracture treatment, comprising an elongate and in particular substantially rotationally symmetrical base body (20), in particular an implant shaft, and an anchoring section (10), wherein the anchorage section has an outer surface of a porous biocompatible material at least in part, and wherein the anchorage section is arranged in an axial end region of the implant and is releasably connectable to the base body.

Abstract: An orthopedic nail (10) of generally rod-like shape having a through hole (2) extending from a first side (4) to a second side (6) of said orthopedic nail (10) and being adapted to receive a screw (22) and/or a pin, a first end of said through hole (2) at said first side (4) defining a rim region (48), wherein at least one surface notch (8; 26) is provided in said rim region (48) at and restricted to an outer circumferential surface of said orthopaedic nail (10), said surface notch (8; 26) being arranged transverse to a nail axis (28) of said orthopedic nail (10), a width (W) of said surface notch (8; 26) in the direction of said nail axis (28) being smaller than a diameter of said through hole (2).

Abstract: The device comprises a tool 21 with a cutting part 23 and a shaft 25. The shaft 25 is provided with an annular catch groove 25d and carries a sleeve 31 which encloses it and comprises a catch projection 31c which engages in the catch groove 25d so as to be detachable, wherein the shaft 25 and the sleeve 31 are rotatable relative to one another. The sleeve 31 is provided with a coolant inlet 31d which opens into an annular duct 41 enclosing the shaft 25 and communicating with a passage 43. This duct 41 is connected with the passage 43 for guiding a coolant, which passage 43 extends through the tool 21 until its cutting part 23 and opens into the surroundings at the free end of the cutting part 23 or in the vicinity of the latter. The sleeve 31 can be secured against axial displacements by means of a catch projection 31c, which is engaged in a catch groove 25d, without separate connection parts and without taking up much axial space.
