| abstract |
A medical device for fixation in a femoral bone of a patient is provided. The medical device comprises a connecting portion (653) that is adapted to be connected to or integrated in a prosthetic contacting portion, and a plurality of expanding portions (654) that have a bone contacting surface (655). The expanding portions are adapted to be at least partially inserted into the femoral bone (7) of a patient and to expand within the femoral bone such that the bone contacting surface is placed in contact with the inside of the femoral bone for fixating the medical device, directly or indirectly, to the femoral cortical bone. The medical device further comprises a stabilizing member (668) having a clamping portion (693) that is adapted to be placed in contact with an outer surface of the femoral bone. The clamping portion is operable for adjustably exerting a force on the outer surface so as to further fixating the medical device to the femoral bone. |
