Installation tool for pedicle of vertebral arch fixing system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an installation tool for a pedicle fixing system.
Background
A pedicle fixation system (hereinafter also referred to simply as a fixation system) is usually composed of a plurality of pedicle fixation units, each of which includes a pedicle screw, a clamping ring, a seat, a connecting rod, and a compression screw. The lower part of the support is provided with a through hole, the support is also provided with a side leg part, the side leg part is provided with an internal thread and 2 oppositely arranged side legs, and a U-shaped channel is formed between the 2 side legs. The upper part of the pressing ring is provided with a U-shaped groove, the pressing ring is sleeved and buckled on the head of the pedicle screw from the upper part of the pressing ring from the lower part of the pressing ring, and the pressing ring and the pedicle screw are in close contact. The pedicle screw passes through the through hole at the lower part of the support from top to bottom by the tail part of the pedicle screw, and the head part of the pedicle screw is limited at the through hole, at the moment, the U-shaped groove of the pressing ring and the U-shaped channel of the support are arranged along the same direction, and the U-shaped groove of the pressing ring is positioned in the U-shaped channel of the support. The connecting rod is matched with the U-shaped channel of the support and the U-shaped groove of the pressing ring.
When the pedicle screw is screwed into the pedicle, the pedicle screw is pressed by the pressing ring positioned above the pedicle screw, and the pressing ring is pressed by the pressing screw, so that the pedicle screw can be screwed into the pedicle. Then adjustments to the fixation system are made. Before adjustment, the connecting rod is required to be arranged between 2 adjacent pedicle fixing units or between 3 adjacent pedicle fixing units. The specific installation method comprises the following steps: after the compression screw is screwed down, one end of the connecting rod is embedded into the U-shaped channel of the support and the U-shaped groove of the pressing ring, and then the compression screw is screwed up and screwed, so that the head of the pedicle screw positioned below is pressed on the support through the pressing ring. The other end of the connecting rod is inserted into the U-shaped channel of the support of the adjacent other pedicle fixing unit and fixed on the other support in the same way, so that the adjacent 2 pedicle fixing units are fixedly connected with each other. According to the requirement, one connecting rod can be connected with 3 pedicle fixing units which are adjacent in sequence and located on a straight line. The entire fixation system can then be adjusted until the adjustment is complete.
The internal fixation technology of the vertebral pedicle screws of the vertebral column is a mature spinal surgery technology and is widely applied to treatment of spinal trauma and degenerative diseases such as spinal fracture, scoliosis, spinal slippage and the like. The traditional pedicle screw internal fixation technology needs to carry out open posterior surgery, corrects spinal deformity well and maintains the stability of the spine, but has large surgical trauma and more blood loss in the surgery due to the fact that extensive tissue incision and long-time traction of surrounding tissues are needed in the surgical process. Meanwhile, the lumbar and back muscles are subjected to ischemic necrosis and fibrosis due to excessive traction and damage to the paraspinal muscles in the operation process, so that the patient cannot get out of bed for early time due to chronic lumbar and back pain after the operation, and needs to lie in bed for a long time after the operation, and the complication incidence rate is obviously increased.
The minimally invasive surgery can be performed in a human body in a small wound environment by using modern medical equipment such as an endoscope and has the advantages of small wound, light pain and quick recovery. By combining the internal fixation technology of the vertebral pedicle screws and the minimally invasive surgery, the technical personnel in the field develop the internal fixation technology of the vertebral pedicle screws, and successfully solve the defects of large operation incision, more muscle stripping, more bleeding, large damage of a posterior stable structure, slow rehabilitation and the like in the traditional internal fixation technology of the vertebral pedicle screws. However, the percutaneous internal fixation of the spine needs to be performed by means of minimally invasive surgery, and the visual field of an operator is poor in the surgical process, so that the problems of complex surgical operation, long surgical time, high difficulty and the like are caused.
In order to solve the above problems, a technique of providing a distraction piece on a support of a pedicle fixation system to ensure that the entire surgical site is exposed in the visual field has been developed, and the use of the distraction piece enables an operator to push the tissue outside the spine outward from the distraction piece during surgery, thereby facilitating the replacement of the connecting rod and the adjustment of the entire fixation system. However, when the existing distraction sheet is fixedly connected with the support, the distraction sheet is required to be installed on the support by using a special instrument during fixation, or the distraction sheet is directly inserted into the upper part of the side leg part of the support, the special instrument can bring great inconvenience and troublesome operation to the operation when the distraction sheet is installed on the support, the special instrument can completely expose the operation part in the visual field, but the situation that the distraction sheet is directly inserted into the tail part of the support is easy to fall off in the operation process, and the smooth operation is not facilitated.
Chinese patent document CN204931830U discloses a pedicle of vertebral arch fixing system, which comprises a support and a spreading sheet, wherein the support tail has two symmetrical side legs, the spreading sheet comprises an integrated spreading sheet main body and a connector, the connector and the side legs can be disassembled to be fixed, the side legs are provided with a fixing groove, the connector is provided with a sliding groove along the length direction of the spreading sheet, the shape of the sliding groove is matched with the shape of the side legs, and a convex block which is matched with the fixing groove and is used for fixing the spreading sheet and the support is arranged in the sliding groove. "when the side leg along the spout slip in-process, the spout can produce little deformation under the effect of lug, when the side leg slides extreme position, the lug just in time card is established in the fixed slot, simple to operate to strutting the piece and having effectively avoided and having come off from the support".
However, when the pedicle fixation system with the distraction plate is installed, the distraction plate is usually installed on the pedicle seat first, and then the pedicle fixation system with the distraction plate is installed at the pedicle of the vertebral arch. If the spreader plates are simply mounted together, it is not conducive to rotating the instrument to fix the pedicle screws. If the opening sheet is firstly opened and then installed, the operation incision is inaccurate due to the influence of the opening sheet on the sight. If the incision is too large, unnecessary damage is caused to the patient; if the incision is too small, the distraction plate will shear the tissue surrounding the incision when the pedicle screw is installed. Thus, the installation of a pedicle fixation system with a spreader plate remains a significant problem for physicians in the field.

Secondly, each of the 2 spreading pieces 1 passes through the hollow channel 52 of the pull lug 51 of the lifting sleeve 5 from bottom to top from the tail part 13 thereof, then extends into the positioning slot 54 of the lifting sleeve 5, and is sleeved on the positioning protrusion 55 of the lifting sleeve 5 by the 2 fixing holes 16 thereof.
Third, the outer sleeve 6 is fitted over the pull sleeve 5 such that each of the operating windows 61 of the outer sleeve 6 is aligned with a corresponding one of the check tabs 71 and the tail portions 13 of the 2 spreader tabs 1 are also all located in the outer sleeve 6.
Fourthly, the spherical handle 8 is sleeved on the upper end head of the central tube 3, then the central tube 3 passes through the central through hole of the lifting sleeve 5 from top to bottom from the lower end head, and the front side and the rear side of the central tube 3 provided with the non-return teeth 32 correspond to the front side and the rear side of the lifting sleeve 5 provided with the non-return grooves 53. When the central tube 3 is inserted into the pulling sleeve 5, the front side plate 33 and the rear side plate thereof are both in elastic contact with the latch 71-1 of the check piece 71 and push the latch 71-1 outward until the central tube 3 reaches a desired position relative to the pulling sleeve 5. At this time, when the center tube 3 is moved upward relative to the pulling sleeve 5 by the compression spring, the lower end surface of the latch 71-1 of the check piece 71 is in contact with the upward end surface of the check tooth 32 of the center tube 3 to be stopped, and is thereby caught and stopped. At this time, the user needs to press the upper portion of the check tab 71 from outside to inside with his/her finger so that the lower end surface of the latch 71-1 is separated from the upper end surface of the check tooth 32 of the center tube 3, and the center tube 3 can be moved upward. So that the position of the central tube 3 relative to the pulling sleeve 5 can be adjusted.
Fifthly, when the position of the central tube 3 relative to the pulling sleeve 5 is adjusted to be in place, the connection between the pedicle fixing unit and the installation tool can be carried out. Referring to fig. 6, each side leg 21 of the support 2 is divided into an upper side leg section 21-1 and a lower side leg section 21-2, each upper side leg section 21-1 is provided with a fixing groove 22, and a break-off opening 23 for breaking off is arranged between the upper side leg section 21-1 and the lower side leg section 21-2.
When the strutting piece 1 is arranged on the support 2, the central tube 3 is aligned with the connecting rod of the fixing system from top to bottom through the arc clamping groove 31 and clamped. Then the front limit part 12-1 and the rear limit part 12-3 on the connecting head 12 of each expansion piece 1 are used for clamping the upper section 21-1 of the corresponding side leg 21, so that each expansion piece 1 is sleeved on the corresponding side leg 21 through the connecting head 12, and the convex block 14 of the expansion piece 1 is inserted into the fixing groove 22 of the upper section 21-1 of the corresponding side leg of the support 2, so that the expansion piece 1 is fixed on the upper section 21-1 of the corresponding side leg 21 of the support 2.
When each expansion piece 1 is sleeved on the corresponding side leg upper section 21-1 through the sliding grooves 17 on the two sides of the expansion piece and slides downwards along the two sides of the side leg upper section 21-1 until the convex block 14 is inserted into the fixing groove 22, the convex block 14 can be deformed to a certain extent, and under the action of elastic force generated by deformation of the convex block 14, the expansion piece 1 moves to the limit position relative to the side leg 21. The connecting plate 12-2 of the connector 12 is thin and 1-3mm thick, and the material is selected from elastic materials such as plastics, so that the problems of the existing pedicle fixing system can be completely solved, and the pedicle fixing system is convenient to use. Sixthly, when the fixing operation of the pedicle screw 43 is carried out, an operator holds the spherical handle 8 by the right hand, holds the pull lug 51 and the outer sleeve 6 of the lifting sleeve 5 by the left hand, adjusts the position of the lifting sleeve 5 relative to the central tube 3 by operating the non-return device, rotates the spherical handle 8 downwards to screw the spinal pedicle screw 43 positioned below the distraction piece 1 into the pedicle by the installation tool, sequentially removes the central tube 3 with the spherical handle 8 and the outer sleeve 6, and then releases the positioning connection of the tail part 13 of the distraction piece 1 and the lifting sleeve 5, so that the lifting sleeve 5 can be removed together with the non-return device carried by the lifting sleeve, and at the moment, the distracter can be used for distracting the 2 distraction pieces 1 oppositely arranged on the support 2 from each other. The position can be selected through the waist-circle positioning hole 15 in the opening process. The shorter connector rod 41 can then be replaced with the longer connector rod 41 as needed and the pedicle fixation system adjusted in a better field of view and range of operation until the adjustment is complete.
Seventhly, the upper section 21 of the side leg of the support 2 is broken at the breaking port 23 of the support 2 by a breaker, so that the support and the opening sheet 1 are taken down from the operation position, and then follow-up operations such as suturing and the like are carried out, thus completing the operation.
In light of the foregoing description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, and must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
