Implant for reinforcing a bone, comprising a bore vector specifying hole and surrounding plate for a jaw replacement, and implant production method
The invention relates to an implant for attaching to a bone, having bone support surfaces or bone formfitting sections which are inclined relative to each other in order to rest on the surface of the bone. Two bone formfitting sections are aligned relative to each other in a sub-region of the implant such that surrounding the bone in the sub-region secures the position of the implant. The invention also relates to a method for producing an implant according to the invention.
1. An implant for attaching to a bone, the implant comprising:
bone formfitting sections which are inclined relative to each other and configured to rest on a surface of the bone, wherein two bone formfitting sections are aligned relative to each other in a sub-region of the implant inserted in its original shape so as to secure a position of the implant configured to abut on the bone in three spatial directions;
screw seating holes aligned such that they can be used as a boring template for introducing bores into the bone; and
a support structure integrally formed with the bone formfitting sections, wherein the support structure includes a marker configured to serve as a positioning aid to position the implant on the bone.
2. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 1 , wherein the screw seating holes are aligned diagonally or skew relative to each other.
3. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of one of the screw seating holes is adjusted to an outer diameter of a drill and/or of an intended hole in the bone.
4. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 3 , wherein an inner diameter of at least one of the screw seating holes amounts to 0.8, 0.85 or 0.9 to 0.99 times an intended bone hole.
5. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the screw seating holes is arranged in an area of the support structure of the implant.
6. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 5 , wherein the screw seating holes are formed to be inclined and/or diagonal relative to a surface of the support structure.
7. The implant for attaching to a bone according to claim 1 , wherein the implant is in a form of a boring template comprising drill guide bushes.
8. A method for producing an implant according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
capturing a patient-specific bone structure by MRT and/or CT;
creating a CAD model of the patient-specific bone structure;
creating a CAD model of an individually shaped implant based on the CAD model of the patient-specific bone structure; and
producing the individually shaped implant based on the CAD model.
9. The method for producing an implant according to claim 8 , wherein, based on previously obtained patient-specific data, the screw seating holes are introduced such that after implanting the implant the screw seating holes can be used as a forced guide for a drill which can be employed for introducing holes into the bone.
