Abstract:
1. Implant for mounting of a connection pin of a medical device, with a longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end consisting of a basically annular contact surface, from which extends a mounting recess for a connection pin in the direction of the longitudinal axis into the inside of the implant, whereby a cross section through a width of the distal end of the recess exhibits a substantially rectangular shape, and the inner generated surface of the recess contains a plurality of ventilation grooves, and whereby the outer generated surface of the implant can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of a mounting hole in a bone of a human or animal body, and whereby the connecting pin, which is adapted to the mounting recess, can be connected in a non-positive or positive manner with the inner generated surface of the mounting recess, wherein the inner generated surface of the mounting recess is provided with at least one depression extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the implant and consisting an undercut, with which an outwardly protruding projection of an elastic clip device of die connection pin can be radially engaged such that said clip device when engaged in said depression produces a distally directed tensional force upon the connection pin, resulting in a medical device connected to the connecting pin to be positively held against the proximal surface of the implant.
