Patents
Illyés, Á ; Kiss, R M: INSERT ASSAY FOR ARTICULATION APPLIANCE. Number: P 07 00598, year of application: 2007, Hungary. An insert assay with pressure sensors for more accurate knee endoprothesis insertion.
Klemencsics, Z.; Kiss, RM. Small joint endoprosthesis. Number: P99 0472. year of application: 1999, Hungary. The small joints in the spine play a key role in taking the forces and fine movement of the torso. In case of arthrosis or fracture, the joint is conventionally fixed. With the prosthesis, rotation around three axes is possible.
