Implant for temporary epiphysealesis or Hemipiphyseodese

摘要

The invention relates to an implant for temporary Epiphyseodese or Hemipiphyseodese, consisting of a plate-shaped, elongated body having at least two openings for receiving bone screws, wherein the plate-shaped body in the region between the openings has a weakening portion and an opening which is located on the Epiphysenfuge operatively. According to the invention, the openings are provided with an at least single thread, the thread being segmented in such a way that thread-free sections remain on the inner peripheral side between threaded sections. Furthermore, at least one bore for receiving a Kirschner wire is provided at each of the ends of the plate-shaped body. The weakening portion is inventively formed as a groove which cuts on the top of the plate breakthrough and extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal plate axis. The underside of the plate has at least one undercut in the area between the segmented threaded holes.
