  • Publication number: 20220330991
    Abstract: A spinal implant, in the form of a multi-part connection device that couples a fastening element to a connection element, including a first part formed as a bracket, which has a receptacle for a part of the fastening element, and a second part in the form of a tulip, which has, in an axially upper region, a receptacle for the connection element and surrounds the bracket receptacle in an axially lower region. When the bracket is assembled in a predefined orientation in the tulip, the bracket can be axially moved in the tulip such that, when moved towards the upper region, in a receiving position the bracket can receive the part of the fastening element, and such that, when moved towards the lower region, in a holding position the bracket is no longer able to release the received part of the fastening element.

  • Patent number: 10117693
    Abstract: Implant for stabilization of pelvic ring fractures, comprising a nail for intraosseous implantation, a fixing agent and at least one locking element for relative fixation of the pelvic bone to the nail. The nail is designed so that the nail intraosseous be passed through a pre-drilled by a sacrum through channel or in the sacrum predrilled through channel is intraosseous insertable. Wherein the pin has at least at its first end of the nail transverse implementation for receiving the locking member, said locking member having an anchoring portion by means of which it can be anchored in a pelvic bone, and a locking portion connected to the transverse conducting of the nail so corresponds to the locking element with the nail is stable angle lockable. Wherein the nail is fixed by means of fixing means at the second end of the nail, in a first pelvic bone and/or the sacrum, whereby the nail is secured by means of the locking element relative to a second pelvis against rotation and displacements fixed.

  • Patent number: 9138326
    Abstract: A joint implant includes an upper and a lower implant part which are connected to each other, and a longitudinal axis of the implant. The implant parts each include a joint part having a joint region and an abutment part that can be abutted against the respective bone. The joint part and the abutment part are detachably connected to each other. The two joint parts each include a joint region and cooperate with each other, thus forming the articulated connection, or with an intermediate element having opposite upper and lower sides as abutment surfaces, thus forming two sub-joint. A connecting device interconnects the upper and lower implant part so as to form a coherent assembly and that can change its position relative to the upper and/or lower joint part.

  • Patent number: 8439950
    Abstract: The invention relates to an implant that can be located between adjacent spinous processes of two vertebral bodies of a vertebral column in order to separate adjacent vertebrae from each other, where the implant displays four projections and can be located in a stabilizing position in which two projections can be located on opposite sides of the vertebral column and where, on each side, one of the two projections can be located along the vertebral column, laterally to an upper and a lower vertebra.

  • Publication number: 20030199980
    Abstract: A vertebral column implant with two implant elements which each have an anchoring side that faces an adjacent vertebra in the inserted state, wherein each anchoring side has a toothing to ensure against displacement in all directions, and wherein the implant elements can be secured in their relative positions to each other. The vertebral column implant includes implant elements which can be stacked in the manner of a modular system until the desired implant height is reached and which can be secured relative to each other by means of a plug-type connection.

  • Patent number: 6352556
    Abstract: A vertebral column replacement body or spacer has first and second anchoring sides each facing in the mounted or implanted state of the body an adjacent vertebra, wherein each anchoring side has a tooting for ensuring that displacement in the ventral or dorsal directions is safely prevented. The vertebral column replacement body has two body elements which are slidingly guided relative to each other and transversely of the anchoring sides, wherein, after a desired relative position has been reached, a first body element can be braced against the second body element by radially widening the first body element.

  • Patent number: 6299614
    Abstract: A device for stabilizing vertebrae of a spinal column has a stabilizing rod and clamps each having a receiving bore for receiving the stabilizing rod. The clamps each have a first leg and a second leg. Each leg has a transverse bore extending transversely to the receiving bore. The transverse bores of the first and second legs are aligned with one another. Screws having a first threaded portion for threadingly engaging a vertebra are provided. The screws have a screw head remote from the first threaded portion and a second threaded portion projecting from the screw head in a direction away from the first threaded portion. At least the transverse bore of the first leg of the clamps have a bore insert member inserted in the transverse bore and resting against the outer surface of the first leg and having an eccentric insert bore. The second threaded portion of the screws penetrate the eccentric insert bore.
