PATENTANSPRÜCHEPATENT CLAIMS 1. Gelenkkopf einer Kugelgelenkprothese, der über eine konische Steckverbindung auf einen Verankerungsschaft aufgesteckt ist, wobei ein Mutterkonus des Gelenkkopfes den Zapfen des Verankerungsschaftes aufnimmt und zwischen beiden ein Hohlraum verbleibt, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Gelenkkopf (4) eine Kugelschale (5) aufweist, die schirmartig auf einer den Mutterkonus (3) enthaltenden Konusbüchse (6) sitzt, wobei zwischen der Innenwand der Kugelschale (5) und der Konusbüchse (6) ein freier Ringraum (8) ausgebildet ist.1. Joint head of a ball joint prosthesis, which is plugged onto an anchoring shaft via a conical plug connection, with a nut cone of the joint head receiving the pin of the anchoring shaft and a cavity remaining between the two, characterized in that the joint head (4) has a ball socket (5), which sits like an umbrella on a cone bushing (6) containing the nut cone (3), a free annular space (8) being formed between the inner wall of the spherical shell (5) and the cone bushing (6). 2. Gelenkkopf nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass aus dem Hohlraum (9) mindestens zwei Durch-trittsöffnungen (10) durch die Konusbüchse (6) hindurch in den Ringraum (8) führen.2. Rod head according to claim 1, characterized in that at least two through-openings (10) lead out of the cavity (9) through the cone bushing (6) into the annular space (8). Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gelenkkopf einer Kugelgelenkprothese, der über eine konische Steckverbindung auf einem Verankerungsschaft aufgesteckt ist, wobei ein Mutterkonus des Gelenkkopfes den Zapfen des Verankerungsschaftes aufnimmt und zwischen beiden ein Hohlraum verbleibt.The invention relates to a joint head of a ball joint prosthesis which is attached to an anchoring shaft via a conical plug-in connection, a nut cone of the joint head receiving the pin of the anchoring shaft and a hollow space remaining between the two. Gelenkköpfe, die in der genannten Art auf dem Verankerungsschaft befestigt sind, sind - vor allem für Hüftgelenkprothesen - bekannt (CH-PS 568 753). Weiterhin ist bekannt, dass die als «Fremdkörper» wirkenden Prothesen nach der Implantation in relativ kurzer Zeit von bindegewebeartigem Narbengewebe umwachsen und abgekapselt werden. Dieses Gewebe umschliesst dabei den Gelenkkopf relativ dicht; neben der Gelenkprothese ist der Raum innerhalb des Gewebes mit Körperflüssigkeit gefüllt, die gleichzeitig als Schmierflüssigkeit für das Gelenk dient, besonders bei Fraktur- oder Teilprothesen, bei denen nur der Femur-kopf durch einen künstlichen Gelenkkopf ersetzt wird, der in der natürlichen Hüftgelenkspfanne gelagert wird. Die Praxis hat nun gezeigt, dass sehr häufig das für die Flüssigkeit zur Verfügung stehende Volumen innerhalb des Narbengewebes zu gering ist, um eine für die Schmierung des Gelenkes notwendige Flüssigkeitsmenge zu speichern.Joint heads which are fastened to the anchoring shaft in the manner mentioned are known (CH-PS 568 753), above all for hip joint prostheses. It is also known that the prostheses, which act as "foreign bodies", are surrounded and encapsulated by connective tissue-like scar tissue within a relatively short time after implantation. This tissue encloses the condyle relatively tightly; next to the joint prosthesis, the space within the tissue is filled with body fluid, which also serves as a lubricating fluid for the joint, especially in the case of fracture or partial prostheses in which only the femoral head is replaced by an artificial condyle that is stored in the natural acetabulum . Practice has now shown that very often the volume available for the liquid within the scar tissue is too small to store the amount of liquid necessary for lubricating the joint. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, das für Flüssigkeiten innerhalb des von Narbengewebe eingeschlossenen Raumes zur Verfügung stehende Volumen zu vergrössern. Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass der Gelenkkopf eine Kugelschale aufweist, die schirmartig auf einer den Mutterkonus enthaltenden Konusbüchse sitzt, wobei zwischen der Innenwand der Kugelschale und der Konusbüchse ein freier Ringraum ausgebildet ist.The object of the invention is to increase the volume available for liquids within the space enclosed by scar tissue. According to the invention, this aim is achieved in that the joint head has a ball socket which sits like an umbrella on a cone bush containing the nut cone, with a free annular space being formed between the inner wall of the ball socket and the cone bush. Durch diese Massnahme wird gegenüber den bisherigen Konstruktionen nicht nur das Volumen für die «Schmier»-Flüssigkeit vergrössert, sondern auch die Masse an körperfremden Material im lebenden Gewebe verringert, wodurch gleichzeitig das Gewicht des Gelenkkopfes reduziert wird.This measure not only increases the volume for the "lubricating" liquid compared to previous designs, but also reduces the mass of exogenous material in the living tissue, which at the same time reduces the weight of the joint head. In neuerer Zeit wird bei den Implantationen sehr häufig der Gelenkkopf erst während der Implantationsoperation auf den Zapfen des bereits in den Femurknochen eingesetzten Verankerungsschaftes aufgesteckt, um eine Anpassung an den individuellen Patienten zu erreichen; diese Anpassung erfolgt durch Auswählen eines Gelenkkopfes aus einer Serie, bei der die Lage des Gelenkkopfmittelpunktes relativ zu dem Mutterkonus variiert ist. Sehr häufig ist es bei der Operation nicht möglich, in dem Gelenkkopf den Hohlraum für den Mutterkonus frei von biologischen Verunreinigungen zu halten, was unter Umständen zu Gewebezersetzungen im Innern des Hohlraumes und - bei metallischen Gelenkköpfen -zu Materialkorrosionen führen kann. Diese Schwierigkeiten können vermieden werden, wenn aus dem Hohlraum mindestens zwei Durchtrittsöffnungen durch die Konusbüchse hindurch in den Ringraum führen, so dass der im Mutterkonus verbleibende Hohlraum dauernd von Körperflüssig-keit durchspült wird.In recent times, in the case of implantations, the joint head is very often only pushed onto the pin of the anchoring shaft already inserted into the femoral bone during the implantation operation, in order to achieve an adaptation to the individual patient; this adjustment is made by selecting a rod end from a series in which the position of the center point of the rod end relative to the nut cone is varied. During the operation, it is very often not possible to keep the cavity for the nut cone in the joint head free of biological contamination, which under certain circumstances can lead to tissue decomposition inside the cavity and—in the case of metal joint heads—to material corrosion. These difficulties can be avoided if at least two passage openings lead from the cavity through the cone bushing into the annular space, so that the cavity remaining in the nut cone is continuously flushed with body fluid. Als Materialien für den neuen Gelenkkopf, der mit seiner Konusbüchse aus einem Stück besteht, eignen sich alle in der Implantat-Technik üblichen und bewährten Werkstoffe: also z.B. Metalle, Metall-Legierungen, Kunststoffe, unter Umständen faserverstärkt, keramische Materialien und pyrolyti-scher Kohlenstoff.All materials that are customary and tried and tested in implant technology are suitable as materials for the new joint head, which consists of one piece with its cone bushing: e.g. metals, metal alloys, plastics, possibly fibre-reinforced, ceramic materials and pyrolytic carbon . Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels im Zusammenhand mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the drawing. Fig. 1 zeigt einen erfindungsgemäss ausgebildeten Gelenkkopf auf einem Verankerungsschaft einer Hüftgelenkprothese, wobei der Gelenkkopf im Schnitt dargestellt ist;1 shows a joint head designed according to the invention on an anchoring shaft of a hip joint prosthesis, the joint head being shown in section; Fig. 2 und 3 sind die Schnitte II-II und III-III von Fig. 1.Figures 2 and 3 are sections II-II and III-III of Figure 1. Ein Verankerungsschaft 1 einer Hüftgelenkprothese, der zum Einsetzen in den Femur bestimmt ist, trägt an seinem oberen Ende einen konisch zulaufenden Zapfen 2. Auf diesen ist mit einem entsprechenden Mutterkonus 3 ein Gelenkkopf 4 aufgesetzt.An anchoring shaft 1 of a hip joint prosthesis, which is intended for insertion into the femur, has a conically tapering pin 2 at its upper end. Der Gelenkkopf 4 besteht aus einer relativ dünnen, schirmartigen Kugelschale 5, an die als «Stiel» eine Konusbüchse 6 angesetzt ist. Die Konusbüchse 6 nimmt den Mutterkonus 3 auf, der bei einzelnen Gelenkköpfen 4 unterschiedlich «tief» in der Konusbüchse 6 angeordnet ist, um -wie erwähnt - den Abstand, den die Kugelschale 5 in Richtung der Achse des Zapfens 2 von einer willkürlich gewählten Bezugslinie 7 hat, variieren zu können.The joint head 4 consists of a relatively thin, umbrella-like spherical shell 5, to which a cone bushing 6 is attached as a "stick". The cone bushing 6 accommodates the nut cone 3, which is arranged at different "deep" in the cone bushing 6 in the case of individual rod ends 4 in order - as mentioned - to measure the distance that the ball socket 5 has in the direction of the axis of the pin 2 from an arbitrarily chosen reference line 7 has to be able to vary. Der schirmartige Aufbau des Gelenkkopfes 4 ergibt im Innern der Kugelschale 5 einen freien Ringraum 8, der nach unten offen ist und nach der Implantation im wesentlichen von Narbengewebe abgeschlossen wird.The umbrella-like structure of the condyle 4 results in a free annular space 8 inside the ball shell 5, which is open at the bottom and is essentially closed off by scar tissue after the implantation. Auch bei auf dem Zapfen 2 aufgestecktem Gelenkkopf 4 verbleibt zwischen der Kugelschale 5 und dem Zapfen 2 im Innern der Konusbüchse 6 ein Hohlraum 9, der über kanalartige Durchtrittsöffnungen 10 mit dem Ringraum 8 in Verbindung steht, so dass aus dem Ringraum 8 durch die Öffnungen 10 und den Hohlraum 9 zurück in den Ringraum 8 dauernd Körperflüssigkeit fliessen kann, um so eine Spülung des Hohlraumes 9 zu erreichen. Das Vorhandensein des Ringraumes 8 stellt sicher, dass innerhalb der erwähnten, jedoch nicht dargestellten «Kapsel» aus Narben- oder Bindegewebe, das die Prothese als Fremdkörper im lebenden Gewebe umschliesst, ein für eine derartige «Spülung» ausreichende Flüssigkeitsmenge zur Verfügung steht.Even when the joint head 4 is placed on the pin 2, a hollow space 9 remains between the ball socket 5 and the pin 2 inside the cone bushing 6, which cavity is connected to the annular space 8 via channel-like passage openings 10, so that from the annular space 8 through the openings 10 body fluid can continuously flow through the cavity 9 back into the annular space 8 in order to flush the cavity 9 in this way. The presence of the annular space 8 ensures that a sufficient quantity of liquid for such a "flushing" is available within the mentioned but not shown "capsule" made of scar tissue or connective tissue, which encloses the prosthesis as a foreign body in the living tissue. 22 55 1010 1515 2020 2525 3030 3535 4040 4545 5050 5555 SS I Blatt ZeichnungenI sheet drawings
