This invention is a direct current magnetic field generating and receiving device for the positioning of a first element relative to a second device, and more particularly, for the installation of orthopaedic implants. The invention may be used to locate holes (121) in an implanted prosthesis (120) so that screws or pins for interlocking the prosthesis either to itself or with the surrounding bone can be accurately installed. The invention comprises an electronic control unit (102), a transmitter (104), two receivers (107, 109) and a controlling computer (101), with the invention employing pulsed direct current transmitted signals to enable precise positioning of the screws or pins through the holes in any of several known commercially available intramedullary nails (120).

L'invention concerne un dispositif de production et de réception de champ magnétique à courant continu, permettant de positionner un premier élément par rapport à un deuxième dispositif, et, plus particulièrement, d'installer des implants orthopédiques. Le dispositif de l'invention peut être utilisé pour localiser les orifices (121) situés dans une prothèse implantée (120), de façon à permettre un positionnement précis des vis ou des broches destinées à verrouiller la prothèse, soit à elle-même, soit avec l'os environnant. L'invention comporte une unité de commande électronique (102), un émetteur (104), deux récepteurs (107, 109) et un ordinateur de commande (101). Des signaux émis par courant continu pulsé sont utilisés pour permettre un positionnement précis des vis et des broches au travers des orifices de plusieurs types de clous intramédullaires (120) connus, disponibles sur le marché.
