Abstract of the Disclosure It is known to manufacture an osteosynthesis implantate, such as a bone nail or plate, in combination with a receiving coil and electrode connections to form an electro-implantate. The coil and electrodes provide a small electrical voltage across the implantate and surrounding tissue to stimulate the healing process. It is also known to convert osteosynthesis implantates into electro-implantate by the addition of belt-like or loose pick-up type coil elements. The present invention relates to an attachment element consisting of a body support formed to attach to an ordinary implant- ate and which includes at least one induction coil and two electrodes, one of which is connectable with a conductive portion of the implantate, the other being exposed to bone or soft tissue of the patient. The present invention may be applied to the implantate so that it can be converted into an electro-implantate during the progress of an operation with greater ease and less complexity then can either the belt-like or pick-up coil elements. Further, the result will be a fully equivalent and effective substitute for a pre-manufactured electro-implantate but at substantially less cost.
