An implantfor sternal osteosynthesis has a clampwith a first prong, a second prongand a connecting portion. In the connecting portionis formed a memberfor the purpose of providing engagement with or for positionally stable support for a compatible supporting member of a bending tool (not shown). On both sides of the connecting portionof the clamp, the memberhas protrusions, which, together with the edges of the connecting portion, form angles for the purpose of engagement of the bending tool.

System for osteosythesis of the sternum

An implant () for attaching the first implant () to a tubular bone, in particular a rib bone, includes: a clamp () having a fillet () and prongs () extending from the fillet (); and a first connecting element () for connecting the first implant () to a connector implant. The clamp () and the connecting element () are connected so as to be rotatable relative to each other about an axis.

Multi-directional thorax wall stabilisation

FIG.shows an inventive implant. It has a central filletextending along a longitudinal axis L. The fillethas openingswhich are formed at regular intervals. At the level of the openingsand extending at right angles on both sides are clamps, which, when the implant is inserted, are brought into mutual engagement with a tubular bone and clamped to it. The filletis formed so as to be bendable in three-dimensions. It can be bent in two planes relative to the longitudinal axis L of the filletand torqued about the longitudinal axis L. Thus, a simple implantwith an overall regular structure is provided which can be cut with a cutting pliers to a desired length.

Device for osteosynthesis and for immobilization and stabilisation of tubular bones

An implant for the purpose of osteosynthesis, for the immobilization and stabilization of tubular bones, especially of tubular bones that have a fracture or an osteotomy, especially of rib bones, comprises at least a first implant component that has an attachment section with means of attachment for the purpose of attaching the first implant component to a tubular bone, especially in a region of the tubular bone close to a fracture or osteotomy. The first implant component further has a connection section, with the connection section being formed for insertion of a second implant component and immobilization of the second implant component in a position adjustable relative to the first implant component. The connection section comprises a guide device for the purpose of guiding the second implant component as the second implant component is being positioned relative to the first implant component. The guide device permits movement of the second implant component relative to the first implant component only in one direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the connection section. A third implant component, which matches the first implant component in functionality, is attached to the other end of the second implant component.

Implant, implant system, and use of an implant and implant system

An apparatus for osteosynthesis of a mandible. An elongated plate has a plurality of apertures. The plate has a first portion, a second portion, and a central portion intermediate the first and second portions. Each of the apertures within the first portion and within the second portion are disposed in relatively close spaced relationship, and each of the apertures within the central portion are disposed in relatively widely spaced relationship. The width of the plate between apertures is less in the central portion than in the first portion. The plate is more easily bent within the central portion than within the first portion, and can be bent to a relatively small radius in the central portion without distorting the apertures within the central portion. The central portion is sized and located to overlie the symphysis of the mandible.
