  • Publication number: 20190151003
    Abstract: A bone implant includes a shank for arrangement in a bone and a head arranged proximally on the shank and having a tool receiver for an implantation tool. The shank has a longitudinal axis. A continuous injection channel for injection of bone connection material is formed in the shank and has a proximal inlet opening for bone connection material on the side of the tool receiver. The wall of the shank surrounding the injection channel has a radial offset with respect to the longitudinal axis on the side of the proximal inlet opening. An implantation instrument for a bone implant includes an injection cannula having an inner channel having a longitudinal axis for injection of bone connection material. The inner channel has a distal outlet opening for bone connection material. A wall of the injection cannula surrounding the inner channel has a radial offset with respect to the longitudinal axis.
