A system and method provide alignment and positioning data of a joint endoprosthesis. Information is acquired as input data on the position and course of the native trochlea of a first bone relative to the joint center, with the joint lines of the first bone and a second bone forming the joint. The acquired input data is processed, and output data is calculated to generate alignment and positioning data of a first joint partial implant of the first bone having an artificial trochlea and a second joint partial implant of the second bone, in which the artificial trochlea of the first joint partial implant replaces the native trochlea of the first bone as identically as possible in alignment and position. Alignment and positioning data is output.
A medical instrument includes two handle elements that are pivotable relative to one another and a spring unit that has two spring ends. Each spring end is connected to one of the handle elements so that when at least one of the handle elements is pivoted out of a starting position, the spring unit can pivot the handle element back into the starting position. The spring unit provides a substantially consistent spring force when the handle elements are pivoted. The spring unit includes a first spring leg and a second spring leg. At least one of the spring ends projects into a recess formed in the associated handle element and bonded to the associated handle element. The medical instrument can be produced by bending at least one of the spring legs, inserting the spring leg into an indentation in one of the handle elements, and bonding the spring leg to the handle element.
