Definitions
- the inventive device and the method for measuring the anchoring state of implants are concerned with a novel sensor for diagnosing the loosening of endoprostheses and other implants and are in the field of medical technology.
- Anchoring strength of endoprostheses An easing sensor is disposed in-situ within the endoprosthesis. Within the endoprosthesis, this stimulates a membrane to vibrate, which is arranged on the implant-bone boundary layer. A measuring device ex-vivo the vibration behavior, the measured Vibration damping and frequency is the indicator for the anchoring strength of the endoprosthesis.
- Patent publication DE 102006051032 A1 discloses a method for determining the anchoring state of implanted endoprostheses.
- a sensor suitable for measuring vibrations is arranged on or in the endoprosthesis.
- the measurement signals are transmitted telemetrically wirelessly by means of a transponder unit.
- a magnet or a ferromagnetic element is firmly connected to the endoprosthesis. With an alternating magnetic field, vibrations are generated in the entire endoprosthesis with the aid of the magnet or ferromagnetic element. These vibrations can be detected with the sensor and sent to an external electronic
- Evaluation unit to be transferred The measurement signals that can be detected by the sensor are compared with a specification, deviations from the specification to draw conclusions about the anchoring state of
- Implant examination especially of dental implants disclosed in which a component can be releasably attached to the implant.
- a device is arranged, which is the mechanical
- Femoral condyles used by laboratory animals. After a defined residence time of e.g. euthanasia of the animals takes place twelve weeks and the affected bone is removed. In addition to the above-mentioned mechanical tests for implant anchoring in bone, histological analyzes are also performed to characterize the bony integrated implant surface. Ultimately, justified by the necessary euthanasia per animal is only one
- the object of the invention is to be as simple as possible, optional
- the method of measurement should be particularly precise and reproducible and not cause any pain to the patient.
- Another object of the invention is the animal experimental
- the excitation occurs via electromagnetic induction through an alternating field in the pulse from the outside, without burdening the patient.
- Anchoring state of implants is in the form of a cylindrical, closed on both sides cavity and is intended for detachable mounting in an implant. It is characterized in that the cylindrical, closed on both sides cavity forms an excitation chamber, in which a magnetic or magnetizable
- Excitation unit is arranged freely movable in all directions.
- the excitation chamber is inserted into a bore in the proximal hip stem of an endoprosthesis.
- the hollow body may be part of a screw module or part of an anchoring pin.

- Implant materials or coatings is used in an animal experiment as an implant.
- Mass swinging in particular a ball.
- Anchoring state of implants uses the device according to the invention with the steps:
- the sensor for detecting vibration and body shell measures the
- Attenuation and frequency of the excited units and is in particular an acceleration sensor or an acoustic transducer.
- the measurement of the frequency takes place in the form of frequency shifts by analysis of the frequency spectrum.
- the invention contributes to a substantial simplification and high
- the device according to the invention is easy to handle as a very simple additional module for the surgeon, since this in existing
- Threaded holes of the implant can be introduced.
- hip endoprosthesis handles have a thread in the proximal region. It is open to any surgeon whether he or she incorporates the sensors into the implant or not. Of great advantage here is that, for example, most hip endoprosthesis in the proximal hip stem have a thread.
- the device according to the invention represents the first time on the market
- the device is
- the animal experimental determination of the ingrowth behavior contributes to the fact that the quality of new materials and coatings in relation to the bony ingrowth behavior can be determined much more effectively and accurately than previously.
- FIG. 1 shows the arrangement of the device according to the invention in an endoprosthesis
- Figure 2 is a partial cross-section through the invention
- FIG. 3 a schematic representation of the detection of vibration and structure-borne noise
- Figure 4 shows an example of the application in animal experiments in cross section
- Anchoring state can be offered depending on the application in different forms. Two versions as an additional module and as an implant module are explained in more detail below.
- the device of Figure 1 is provided as a screw 1 for insertion into existing holes 4 with thread in the proximal hip stem 3 of an endoprosthesis 2. These holes 4 are
- the tightening module can be used optionally.
- the screw 1 has the shape of a cylindrical, both sides
- the device provides as a hollow body enough space for the integration of a magnetic or magnetizable excitation unit, which allows an acoustic stimulation of the hip endoprosthesis.
- Figure 2 shows a partial cross-section through the screw 1.
- Screwing module 1 consists of a cylindrical shaft 1 1 with an external thread and a screw head 12.
- the screw head 12 is provided with a cylindrical cavity closed on both sides
- excitation chamber 14 Provided (excitation chamber 14). It is also conceivable to equip the shaft 1 1 with a cylindrical cavity.
- the dimensions of the screw 1 are dimensioned such that the range of motion of the hip endoprosthesis is not limited below the physiological range of motion.
- the screw head 12 is limited by a maximum external rotation of 45 °, a maximum internal rotation of 90 ° and a maximum abduction to 14 °.
- In the excitation chamber 14 of the screw head 12 is the
- Exciting unit in particular a simple magnetic or magnetizable ball 13, arranged freely movable.
- the ball 13 can be used both in the screw head 12 and in a cavity of the shaft 1 1.
- the ball 13 is excited by electromag netic induction by an alternating field pulse from the outside and thereby generates detectable structure-borne sound waves in the form of a sound.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of the detection of vibration and structure-borne noise on the patient's leg by means of vibration sensors.
- the screw module 1 is inserted in the proximal hip stem 3 of an endoprosthesis 2.
- An external coil 35 is applied to the leg of the patient for continuous excitation of the ball 13 by a magnetic
- Tightening module 1 Since the screwing module 1 is firmly connected to the endoprosthesis 2, it begins to resonate. A structure-borne noise is produced by the composite screwing module 1 and endoprosthesis 2, which can be measured.
- the sensor 36 is
- an acceleration sensor or an acoustic sensor For example, an acceleration sensor or an acoustic sensor
- the measured values are forwarded to a data processing and evaluation unit 37.
- the data processing and evaluation unit 37 further processes the measured values. For example, frequency shifts can be measured by analysis of the frequency spectrum.
- the type of sound depends on the osseointegration of the endoprosthesis 4 in the bone. Depending on the anchoring status, the attenuation and the frequency differ. This is a statement about the stability of the implant all in terms of the early detection of implant loosening allows.
- the measurement is particularly precise and reproducible and causes no pain in the patient due to the low pulse in contrast to vibrometry.
- the implant is targeted by the ball 13 and sufficiently excited to the structure-borne sound waves over a

- Implant module 41 is introduced into the living animal body and is to grow in there.
- the implant module is about the ball 43 for
- Bone-implant composite can make a statement about that
- Bone anchorage can be done at any time. It is particularly advantageous that, in addition to a one-time measurement, course observations of the ingrowth behavior on the same animal can also be carried out.
- the longitudinal axis of the implant module 41 serves on the one hand for setting the implant by means of an OP instrument, on the other hand for the attachment of an adapter for the post-mortem extraction test.
- This embodiment is not mandatory and may be replaced by other appropriate equivalent means.
- FIG. 5a is a diagrammatic representation of FIG. 5a
- the magnetic ball 53 is located in the excitation chamber 54 in the interior of the module 51. With a coil, not shown here, the ball 53 is excited from the outside with different frequencies.
- the ball 53 performs a movement on a straight line. This effect is used to create a point sound source.
- the module 51 is provided with a channel 59 in the form of a cylindrical bore, for example transversely to the longitudinal axis. Through the channel 59, the ball 53 is guided by being now reciprocated in a defined manner.
- FIG. 5b
- the inertia of the ball 53 causes it to be in a circular orbit in the
- Excitation chamber 54 moves. This has the advantage that the entire surface can be traversed from the inside and thus different depending on the location which is touched by the ball 53
- Frictional noises occur, which differ depending on the anchoring status of this point in attenuation and frequency.
- the position of the ball 53 with respect to the longitudinal axis of the excitation chamber 54 is determined by the position of the external coil.
