Lower cervical vertebra anatomical titanium cage
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical prosthesis manufacturing, and relates to a lower cervical vertebra anatomical titanium cage.
Background
At present, the cervical vertebra sub-total excision decompression combined titanium cage bone grafting fusion is a common operation mode for treating cervical spondylosis, cervical vertebra spinal stenosis, cervical vertebra vertebral fracture with spinal cord compression or old fracture dislocation combined incomplete spinal cord injury and the like. The operation mode adopts a way that the corresponding vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs are exposed through the anterior approach, vertebral body nails are respectively arranged on the upper and lower 2 adjacent vertebral bodies of the vertebral body to be resected, and a vertebral body spreader is arranged to spread the upper and lower vertebral bodies by a certain height. And (3) cutting off pathological change intervertebral discs at two ends, performing vertebral body secondary total cutting off most vertebral bodies and posterior longitudinal ligaments of the vertebrae at the inner side of the bilateral uncinate joint, implanting titanium cages (filled bone grafting particles) with proper length into the decompression groove, and selecting proper anterior cervical steel plates to be fixed on the upper vertebral body and the lower vertebral body. A large number of clinical studies have demonstrated that it has a good surgical efficacy. The operation section can obtain the immediate stability after operation and provide a stable biomechanical environment for the recovery of the nerve function.
However, related post-operation follow-up studies find that partial patients have titanium cage sinking and collapsing conditions, and the post-operation curative effect of the patients is affected. Yu Chen et al performed post-operative follow-up for 300 patients who performed cervical vertebral sub-total resection decompression in combination with titanium cage bone fusion. Follow-up results revealed that 182 (60.7%) patients had mild titanium cage collapse (1-3 mm) and 57 patients had severe titanium cage collapse (> 3 mm). Compared with a patient without titanium cage collapse after operation, the nerve function recovery condition of the patient with titanium cage collapse is obviously lower than that of the patient without titanium cage collapse. In addition, serious titanium cage collapse can cause cervical pain, nerve function damage, fixation failure and other complications to occur .(Chen Y,Chen DY,Guo YF,et al.Subsidence of Titanium Mesh Cage A Study Based on 300 Cases[J].Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques,2008,21(7):489-492.), and one important reason for the titanium cage post-operation collapse is that the contact area of the titanium cage and the vertebral endplate is small. In the conventional titanium cage implantation process, the length of the titanium cage needs to be trimmed to the length of the bone groove. One surface of the titanium cage which is not cut is of a smooth structure, and has 6 flat contact points, and the cut end is 12 sharp contact points in most cases. The point contact mode causes larger pressure load on the surface of the vertebral endplate, and is easy to cause the damage of the vertebral endplate structure, so that the titanium cage is penetrated into the vertebral body, and the titanium cage is caused to collapse. (Xu Jianwei, gu Lianshun, chen Deyu, et al, discussion of early collapse of titanium mesh bone graft for partial total resections of anterior cervical vertebral bodies [ J ]. J.Chinese J.orthopedic, 2002, 10 (z 1): 1267-1269.)
In order to prevent collapse of a titanium cage after cervical vertebra sub-total excision decompression combined titanium cage bone grafting fusion operation and avoid complications such as neck pain, nerve function damage, fixation failure and the like caused by the collapse of the titanium cage, anatomical parameters such as anterior and posterior diameter, left and right diameter, sagittal plane radian radius, coronal plane radian radius, cervical vertebra operation section height, operation section angle and the like of upper and lower end plates of the cervical vertebra are measured, and a lower cervical vertebra anatomical titanium cage is designed according to the parameters.
