Range of prosthesis femoral hip implants each have slit through distal portion emerging in distal end, with slit proximal end emerging in transverse hole in same direction as slit, and hole diameter being variable between implants

Implants, of different sizes to adapt femur of different sizes, each have a slit (12) made through their distal portion emerging in their distal end. The slit proximal end emerges in a transverse hole (13) made through the implant in the same direction as the slit. The diameter of the hole is variab...

Summary:Implants, of different sizes to adapt femur of different sizes, each have a slit (12) made through their distal portion emerging in their distal end. The slit proximal end emerges in a transverse hole (13) made through the implant in the same direction as the slit. The diameter of the hole is variable from one implant to another and is such that the portions (15) of the implant laterally delimiting the hole which connect to the rest of the implant the distal parts (16) individualized by the slit have the same width from one size of implant to another. Cette gamme d'implants comprend des implants (1) de différentes tailles, chaque implant (1) présentant une fente (12) aménagée au travers de sa portion distale (4b), débouchant dans son extrémité distale.Selon l'invention, l'extrémité proximale de la fente (12) que comprend chaque implant (1) débouche dans un trou transversal (13) aménagé au travers de l'implant (1), de même direction que la fente (12), le diamètre de ce trou (13) étant variable d'un implant (1) à l'autre de la gamme en fonction de la taille de ces implants (1), et étant tel que les portions (15) de l'implant (1) délimitant latéralement ce trou (13), qui relient au reste de l'implant (1) les parties distales (16) de l'implant (1) individualisées par la fente (12), présentent sensiblement la même largeur, d'une taille d'implant (1) à une autre.
