Such operations generally involve the integration of artificial joints or other implants.

As examples of such metal elements implants, artificial joints, or the like are mentioned.

Artificial joints (reduce wear to avoid damage)

The artificial joint according to this invention does not exceed in size the conventional artificial joints using mechanical damping.

Dental implants, hip implants, epitheses, artificial joints and prostheses are preferred as medical implants.

However in that year he underwent an operation to insert artificial joints in both hips.

The number of limb or joint implants is on the rise in Europe due to demographic changes and longer life expectancy.

Such operations generally involve fitting prostheses in the form of artificial joints or other implants.

Artificial joints can now remain in the body for decades thanks to modern surgical and anchoring techniques.

Being used right now for artificial limbs or computer interactive devices.

This invention is based on the problem of creating artificial joints with a structure that assures functioning that largely corresponds to that of natural joints and thus yields unimpaired function without complaints for a long period of time when used to replace a human joint.

An important field of application is the bonding and coating of articles of medical techniques which may come into contact with body fluids, for example dialysis filters, catheters, indwelling cannulas, cardiac pacemakers, arthroscopic apparatus, implantable hearing aids and artificial joints.

For intracorporal use, heart pacemakers, blood vessel prostheses, synthetic joints, etc., are known.

The invention relates to a novel apatite-coated metallic material having improved surface quality and biocompatibility, a process for its preparation, and the use of the material for bone implants, in particular dental implants, artificial joints and fixative material for accident surgery (osteosynthesis material).

The bearing surface 14 of the bearing shell 1 is provided with sufficient surface quality and precision of shape for artificial joints.

Medicine differentiates between two methods of healing: repair, where artificial joints are used, and regeneration, where the healing of the body's own tissue is promoted.

This Lower Austrian hotspot for medical biotechnology not only carries out cancer research but groundbreaking research on blood purification procedures, artificial joints and cartilage and the healing of chronic injuries.

The earliest attempts, artificial hearts or bionic limbs, always involved high risks for the patient.

There are ways of staying fit in old age, such as artificial joints, pacemakers and much more besides.

The surgical removal of the condyle then becomes necessary with simultaneous reconstruction using artificial joints or lyophilised jaw parts (see Professor Sailer's bibliography).

The present invention concerns a process for the production of implants with an ultrahydrophilic surface as well as the implants produced in that way and also processes for the production of loaded, so-called bioactive implant surfaces of metallic or ceramic materials, which are used for implants such as artificial bones, joints, dental implants or also very small implants, for example what are referred to as stents, as well as implants which are further produced in accordance with the processes and which as so-called “delivery devices” allow controlled liberation, for example by way of dissociation, of the bioactive molecules from the implant materials.

Artificial joints, in particular knee joints, for orthoses or prostheses have an upper connection part and a lower connection part, which are connected to each other by way of a joint device.

For many decades artificial joints and joint prostheses have been used surgically, for example, hip joint prostheses, shoulder prostheses or knee prostheses.

The demands placed on artificial joints derive from the mechanical load placed on them, which occurs as an alternating load and must be borne over many years, as well as from the anatomical conditions to which the artificial joint must adapt, as well as from the environmental influences which the materials used must permanently resist.

A suitable artificial joint (together with the implant dataset corresponding to it) or a plurality of suitable artificial joints (together with the implant datasets corresponding to them) can then be selected on the basis of the anatomical data.
