Abstract

Medical instrumentation is provided, in particular for implanting a hip joint stem, which includes a rasping instrument having a rasp stem defining a longitudinal direction. The rasp stem has at least two depth stops arranged or formed thereon. An implantation set is also provided which includes such a rasping instrument.

Claims (56)

1. Medical instrumentation for implanting a hip joint stem, comprising:

a rasping instrument having a rasp stem defining a longitudinal direction,

wherein:

the rasp stem has at least two depth stops arranged or formed thereon,

each of the at least two depth stops comprises at least one depth stop face, and

the depth stop faces defined by the at least two depth stops have different surface textures or are differently colored.

2. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein an end face of the rasp stem pointing in a proximal direction comprises the at least one depth stop face.

3. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least two depth stops comprises at least one groove.

4. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 3 , wherein at least one of:

the at least one groove on the rasp stem extends parallel or essentially parallel to an end face of the rasp stem pointing in a proximal direction or extends transversely to the longitudinal direction, and

the at least one groove at least one of defines a groove longitudinal direction and extends in a straight line or in an essentially straight line.

5. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least two of the at least two depth stops comprise at least one groove.

6. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one depth stop face of one of the at least two depth stops at least one of:

is spaced apart from the at least one depth stop face of another one of the at least two depth stops relative to the longitudinal direction, and

extends parallel or essentially parallel to the at least one depth stop face of another one of the at least two depth stops.

7. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein at least one of:

the rasp stem is of symmetrical or essentially symmetrical configuration with respect to a plane of symmetry which runs transversely to at least one of the depth stop faces, and

three depth stop faces are provided, the three depth stop faces being arranged or formed in equidistant or essentially equidistant relation with respect to the longitudinal direction.

8. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one depth stop face is planar.

9. Medical instrumentation for implanting a hip joint stem, comprising:

a rasping instrument having a rasp stem defining a longitudinal direction,

wherein:

the rasp stem has at least two depth stops arranged or formed thereon,

the at least two depth stops are arranged or formed in spaced-apart relationship to each other.

10. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 9 , wherein each of the at least two depth stops comprises at least one depth stop face.

11. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the depth stop faces defined by the at least two depth stops have different surface textures or are differently colored.

12. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein at least one of the at least two depth stops comprises two depth stop faces.

13. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the at least one depth stop face is planar.

14. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the at least one depth stop face of one of the at least two depth stops at least one of:

is spaced apart from the at least one depth stop face of another one of the at least two depth stops relative to the longitudinal direction, and

extends parallel or essentially parallel to the at least one depth stop face of another one of the at least two depth stops.

15. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein at least one of:

the rasp stem has end face portions pointing in a proximal direction, said end face portions forming or comprising the depth stop faces, and

the at least two depth stop faces define depth stop face planes which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction.

16. Medical instrumentation in accordance with claim 10 , wherein at least one of:

the rasp stem is of symmetrical or essentially symmetrical configuration with respect to a plane of symmetry which runs transversely to at least one of the depth stop faces, and

three depth stop faces are provided, the three depth stop faces being arranged or formed in equidistant or essentially equidistant relation with respect to the longitudinal direction.

17. Medical instrumentation for implanting a hip joint stem, comprising:

a rasping instrument having a rasp stem defining a longitudinal direction,

wherein:

the rasp stem has at least two depth stops arranged or formed thereon,

at least one of the at least two depth stops comprises at least one groove, and

at least one of:

the at least one groove is formed on a side face of the rasp stem that points in a direction transversely to the longitudinal direction, and

the at least one groove comprises at least one groove side face and the at least one groove side face defines at least one depth stop face.

18. Implantation set, comprising;

a modular implant set, comprising at least two different implant parts, and

medical instrumentation for implanting a hip joint stem, comprising a rasping instrument having a rasp stem defining a longitudinal direction,

wherein:

the rasp stem has at least two depth stops arranged or formed thereon,

the at least two different implant parts each comprise an identification element, and

the identification elements of the at least two different implant parts are different from each other at least one of in respect of color schemes of the identification elements, and on the basis of surface textures of the identification elements.

19. Implantation set in accordance with claim 18 , wherein each identification element of the at least two different implant parts is associated with one of the at least two depth stops.

20. Implantation set in accordance with claim 18 , wherein at least one of:

the identification elements of the at least two different implant parts are configured in the form of geometrical surface portions, and

the identification elements are configured such that they are releasably connectable to the at least two different implant parts or such that they are arranged or formed in a non-releasable relationship therewith.
