Abstract

The invention makes available a multi-part implant ( 10 ), comprising: a support element ( 20 ) for fixing the implant ( 10 ) to a bone material; wherein the support element ( 20 ) forms a receiving space; and a functional element ( 30 ) that can be introduced into the receiving space; wherein the functional element ( 30 ) can be fixed in the receiving space ( 26 ) by the support element ( 20 ) at least with respect to one degree of freedom.

Claims (20)

1 . A multi-part implant comprising:

a support element configured for fixing the implant to a bone material;

wherein a receiving structure of the support element forms a receiving space; and

a functional element that is configured to be introduced into the receiving space;

wherein the functional element is configured to be fixed in the receiving space by the receiving structure at least with respect to one degree of freedom.

2 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support element is configured as an outer support element, and the receiving space is an interior space partially enclosed by the receiving structure.

3 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the support element has a window structure or a rib structure through which the functional element in the receiving space is accessible.

4 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the functional element is made of at least one of the following materials:

biodegradable magnesium;

biodegradable magnesium alloy;

biodegradable iron alloy;

biodegradable zinc alloy;

biodegradable ceramic system;

bioresorbable polymer or copolymer.

5 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the support element is made from a non-resorbable material, from titanium or a titanium alloy, from polyetheretherketone, from implant steel and/or from UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene).

6 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the functional element is configured to be clamped and/or clipped into the receiving space.

7 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiving space is formed at least by a turned-back edge of the support element.

8 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an interior of the functional element has at least one recess structure which is configured to increase the surface area of the functional element.

9 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the at least one recess structure comprises at least one cavity and/or at least one tunnel and/or at least one blind hole in the functional element.

10 . The multi-part implant as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the functional element has a tissue-receiving structure into which a tissue part can be inserted and/or through which a tissue part can be guided.
