The invention relates to a method for producing a structured coating on at least one part of the surface of a ceramic implant, in particular an implant which is to be placed in a bone. According to the invention, an abrasive treatment is initially carried out, subsequently, a thin layer of silicate glass, which is fixed by ceramic firing, is applied, and the thus produced layer is subsequently abrasively and/or subtractively treated. A silicate ceramic solder which can contain finely dispersed leucite (K[AlSi2Oj) is used. The abrasive treatment takes place by means of sand blasting, acid etching or by means of a combination thereof. The thus produced layer can then be functionalised, for example by means of a plasma-spray method, using a thin titanium layer which can also be subsequently provided with a calcium phosphate phase. The implants can also be, for example, components for artificial joint replacement or a spinal column implant.

The invention relates to a modular hip joint endoprosthesis having a rolling-friction-supported prosthesis head. The aim of the invention is to develop a modular hip joint endoprosthesis that has a significantly reduced frictional resistance between the implant socket sliding surface and the joint ball and that allows a nearly natural range of movement. According to the invention, the aim is achieved by inserting sliding bodies (running balls) in order to transmit the movement between the articulation surfaces of the joint ball and of the socket, wherein said sliding bodies in addition to reducing the friction also cause an effective enlargement of the joint ball diameter and thus permit a greater range of movement. The sliding-body cage is designed in such a way that collisions with the implant stem under load conditions that occur periodically do not impair the function of the joint.

The invention relates to a reabsorbable bone replacement material made of calcium phosphate particles of different phases which are embedded in an inventive-specific cross-linked collagen matrix. The aim of the invention is to form a non-brittle, bone replacement moulded body having a positive fit, i.e. having a shape which is anatomic and/or correspondes to the defect, which perfectly fills the bone defect and can be reabsorbed thereby. Said aim is achieved by producing the bone replacement material made of a mixture of calcium phosphate particles which is embedded in an inventive cross-linked collagen matrix. In particular, the collagen cross-linking is achieved by a Laccase-induced peptide cross-linking and suitable bridge molecules. Essentially substituted dihydroxyarmotes and/or substrates of the lignolytic polyphenoloxidases, such as Laccases, are suitable as bridge molecules. Also, monocyclic ortho-dihydroxyaromates, monocyclic para-dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic monohydroxyaromates, polycyclisc monohydroxyaromates, bicyclic dihydroxyaromates, polycyclic dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic trihydroxyaromates, polycyclic trihydroxyaromates, or mixtures thereof are used. The inventive hydroxyaromates are not part of a polymer chain as opposed to the known conchal adhesive.

The invention relates to a polyaxially alignable stabilising element for endoprostheses. The aim of the invention is to develop a stabilising element, which preferably can be assembled after the optimal positioning of the implant and is distinguished by an adapted form and functional regions. The element is characterised by the following: a semi-spherical guide tip (1a) is designed to guide the stabilising pin (1), whilst the latter is pressed into prepared under-dimensioned bores in the bones; a guide region, which adjoins the guide tip (1a), consists of conical, polyhedral propelling surfaces (1b) that are designed to act as rotational locks and compress the spongiose bone as the element is pressed in; an osteointegrative region that adjoins the guide region, has a functionally modified surface and secures the mechanical stability of the stabilising pin (1) once the bones have fused; an expansion region (1e) that terminates the element and is configured to resemble a plug with spherical sub-surfaces for fixing the stabilising pin (1) in the implant; and a region with a spherical surface (1f) in the expansion region of the stabilising pin (1) allows the polyaxial alignment of the latter (1).

The invention relates to a modular revision socket for hip-joint prosthesis, which can be adapted during revision surgery to the defects found intraoperatively in the acetabulum. The modular revision socket according to the invention consists of a socket base (1), a fixing plate (3), one or more anchoring pins (2) and an inlay. The socket base (1) is an oval press-fit shell comprising two polyaxial expansion press-fit bearings (6) for the anchoring pins (2), a mounting bearing (13) for the fixing plate (3) and a recess (12) for expanding the range of movement and preventing an impingement. The fixing plate (3) is fixed to the socket base (1) to form a block. The positive fit assembly allows pitching moments in the mounting bearing (13) to be absorbed, thus ensuring a high degree of stability in the implant. The anchoring pins (2) comprise several functional regions. A tip region (17) acts as a guide when the prosthesis is pressed in, a guide region (18) acts as a rotational lock and compresses the spongiose bone when the prosthesis is pressed in, a retaining region (19) ensures mechanical stability in the bone and a head region (20) fixes the prosthesis in the revision socket and allows said prosthesis to be locked in its polyaxial alignment.
