ENDOPROTHESENSCHAFT, INSBESONDERE EINER FEMURSCHAFTPROTHESE, MIT ZUGEORDNETEM IMPLANTAT

To substitute for a missing bone part, in particular for the greater trochanter, the implant (3) comprises an attachment body (6) which can be positioned laterally of the shaft (2) of the associated prosthesis and has the shape of a flange-like shield for muscles and ligaments to be fastened thereon, as well as a sleeve (7) which can be fitted on the shaft (2) and is divided into two sleeve members (7a and 7b) that can be attached to the sides of the shaft (2) and can be connected with one another. The attachment body (6) is also divided into two attachment members (6a and 6b) which can rest against each other, are each joined to one of the sleeve members (7a and 7b, respectively) to form a building unit (3a and 3b, respectively) and are releasably connected to one another via screws (12a and 12b) arranged between the shaft (2) and the attachment members (6a and 6b). The implant (3) can be fitted on the shaft (2) from a side that is readily accessible by the surgeon, and it can be exchanged in a correspondingly simple manner.
