Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for locating a material having thermoplastic properties in pores of bone tissue includes providing a pin having the material having thermoplastic properties and a core, wherein the material having thermoplastic properties is arranged on the circumferential surface of the core constituting an outer region of the pin. An opening is provided in the bone tissue, and the pin is positioned at least partly in the opening. The outer region of the pin is then impinged with mechanical vibration energy for a time sufficient for liquefying at least part of the material having thermoplastic properties, and, in a liquefied state, pressing it into the pores of the bone tissue surrounding the opening. The vibration energy is stopped for a time sufficient for re-solidification of the liquefied material, and then the core is removed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for locating a material having thermoplastic properties in pores of bone tissue in a human or animal body, the method comprising the steps of: providing a pin comprising the material having thermoplastic properties and a core, wherein the core comprises a distal end and a proximal end and a circumferential surface therebetween, wherein the material having thermoplastic properties is arranged on the circumferential surface of the core constituting an…
