Title:
MAGNETICALLY MOUNTED ARTIFICIAL JOINT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/060007
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The invention relates to a prosthesis for replacing a joint connection in which identically polarized magnetic fields of the condyle (10), joint cavity (12), and joint collar (14) are superimposed on each other in such a way that the repulsive forces generate a suspended state of the condyle (10) in the bearing and the damping effect is maximized. The invention also relates to a method for replacing a bone joint of a mammal. In said method, the prosthesis is fastened to the joint bone, and repulsive forces generate a levitated state of the condyle (10) under load.
