ABSTRACT:
A device for stimulating the osteogenesis of a traumatized bone is mounted on a bone stabilizing implant. The device comprises a first component part comprising a first electrode, an isolating element, which is mounted at the first component part and a second component part comprising a second electrode. The second component part is mounted at the isolating element such that the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically isolated from each other. The power generation unit is electrically coupled both to the first electrode and to the second electrode. The first component part is designed to be attached to the implant in such a manner that the second component part intrudes in a region defined by a trauma within the bone. Further described is a medical system for stimulating the osteogenesis of a traumatized bone, the medical system comprising a bone stabilizing implant, which is adapted to be fixed to the traumatized bone, and an osteogenesis stimulation device as has been described above is mounted thereon.
