According to an embodiment a combined hard and/or soft tissue medical implant may be provided for orthopedic and neurosurgical management of disease. The medical implant may further include an integrated reservoir, embedded pump-assisted smart technology, a strategic high-profile port for easy and safe access just underneath the neighboring skin, and one or more embedded catheters to deliver medication or cellular therapies.

A treatment transducer for a generator of alternating magnetic fields for in vivo disinfection of electrically conductive surfaces of medical implants, which may be used with a wide variety of implants and medical devices. The treatment head includes an enclosure for enveloping a portion of a body in which an implant is to be treated, and which contains a plurality of transducers for converting a radio-frequency signal to generating a shaped alternating magnetic field.

The present invention concerns a shaped article sized and dimensioned to at least partly and removably cover a prosthetic or implant, wherein said shaped article comprises means for monitoring a temperature change in said article.

An extracorporeally length-adjustable implant system comprises an implant component to be fastened to a bone to be lengthened and an adjustment device with two fastening parts that are displaceable relative to one another, each of which is intended for arrangement at a part of the bone to be lengthened, wherein the adjustment device is able to distract the two fastening parts and comprises a drive element with a permanent magnet arranged in rotationally fashion and a mechanism which converts a rotational movement of the permanent magnet into a distracting longitudinal movement of the adjustment device; and an extracorporeal drive unit for the drive element of the implant component. The extracorporeal drive unit comprises a rotatably mounted extracorporeal magnetic ring with an interior to receive the bone to be lengthened with the adjustment device, and an actuation device to rotate the extracorporeal magnetic ring in the ring plane thereof.

A method for fixating an artificial convex caput femur surface to the pelvic bone of a patient, the method comprising the steps of: exposing the acetabulum surface, creating a hole or recess in the pelvic bone from the acetabulum side of the pelvic bone, providing the artificial convex caput femur, comprising an elongated member to the hip joint, inserting said elongated member in said hole, and performing an action on the acetabulum side of the pelvic bone such that the elongated member is structurally changed on the abdominal side of the pelvic bone or inside the pelvic bone.
