Abstract
Medical instrumentation includes two or, in particular, more anchoring elements for anchoring on body tissue, and a stabilization element via which the two or more anchoring elements are connectable. The instrumentation includes a sensor unit, a coupling unit for percutaneous selective coupling of the sensor unit to at least one anchoring element or to the stabilization element, and a data processing unit which determines from sensor signals of the sensor unit the position of the anchoring elements relative to one another and/or the position of at least one anchoring element relative to the stabilization element.

Medical instrumentation, comprising two or more anchoring elements for anchoring on body tissue and a stabilization element via which the two or more anchoring elements are connectable, and comprising a sensor unit, a coupling unit for percutaneous selective coupling of the sensor unit to at least one anchoring element or to the stabilization element, and a data processing unit which determines from sensor signals of the sensor unit at least one of the position of the anchoring elements relative to one another and the position of at least one anchoring element relative to the stabilization element.
Method for using a medical instrumentation which comprises two or more anchoring elements for anchoring on body tissue and a stabilization element via which the two or more anchoring elements are connectable, wherein a sensor unit is percutaneously selectively coupled to at least one anchoring element or to the stabilization element via a coupling unit, and at least one of the position of the anchoring elements relative to one another and the position of at least one anchoring element relative to the stabilization element is determined by a data processing unit from sensor signals of the sensor unit.
