Abstract

In order to avoid the risk of infection at the points of emergence of holding rods (5) of an external fixator from the body, the holding rods (5) are each provided with a cuff or sleeve (4) which is sited in the particular point of emergence from the body and is capable of delivering antibiotics. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Ver­ hinderung von Infektionen an den Körperaustrittsstellen von Haltestäben zum externen Fixieren gebrochener oder durchtrennter Knochen, von Knochen mit Falschgelenken oder von zu versteifenden Gelenken.The invention relates to a device for ver prevention of infections at the body exit points of holding rods for external fixation of broken or severed bones, from bones with false joints or of joints to be stiffened.

Bei einem Fixateur extern (äußeren Spanner) zur Befesti­ gung von komplizierten Knochenbrüchen, Knochendurchtren­ nungen, Knochen mit Falschgelenken oder zu versteifenden Gelenken tritt das Problem auf, daß es an den Körperaus­ trittsstellen der Haltestäbe zu Entzündungen durch von außen eindringende Infektionserreger kommen kann. Bisher hat man solche Infektionen nicht suffizient lokal, son­ dern nur durch Antibiotikagaben über den Blutkreislauf verhindern können. Es gibt zwar zur Behandlung von Infek­ tionen in Knochen und Wundhöhlen örtlich wirkende Ket­ ten, bestehend aus antibiotikaabgebenden Kugeln (Septopal-Ketten der Firma E. Merck, Darmstadt), jedoch lassen sich solche Ketten naturgemäß nicht im Bereich der Körperaustrittsstellen von Haltestäben eines Fixa­ teurs extern sinnvoll verwenden.With an external fixator (external tensioner) for fastening of complicated bone fractures, bone penetrations openings, bones with false joints or stiffened Joints the problem arises that it affects the body points of contact of the holding rods to inflammation from infectious agents can enter the outside. So far such infections are not sufficiently local, son but only by giving antibiotics via the bloodstream can prevent. Although there is to treat infectiousness ions in bones and wound cavities localized ket consisting of antibiotic-releasing balls (Septopal chains from E. Merck, Darmstadt), however such chains are naturally not in the range the body exit points of fixa support rods Use expensive externally.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrich­ tung zu entwickeln, mit der das Infektionsrisiko im Be­ reich der Körperaustrittsstellen von Haltestäben von äußeren Spannern örtlich suffizient bekämpft werden kann. The invention has for its object a Vorrich to develop with which the risk of infection in the Be range of body exits from holding bars of local tensioners are adequately controlled can.  

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß es sich bei der Vorrichtung jeweils um eine den Halte­ stab einfassende Manschette oder Hülse aus einem Werk­ stoff handelt, der einen das Infektionsrisiko mindernden Wirkstoff abzugeben vermag.This object is achieved in that it is in each case a holding device rod-enclosing sleeve or sleeve from a factory is a substance that reduces the risk of infection Active ingredient is able to deliver.

Durch diese Manschette oder Hülse erreicht man, daß der das Infektionsrisiko mindernde Wirkstoff genau dort und zwar kontinuierlich über einen genügend langen Zeitraum abgegeben wird, wo das Infektionsrisiko besteht. Man kann deshalb mit geringen Wirkstoffmengen arbeiten, so daß der Körper nur in vermindertem Maße durch den Wirk­ stoff selbst beansprucht wird und entsprechenden Neben­ wirkungen ausgesetzt ist. Der Wirkstoff braucht nicht den Wirkort über den Weg des Blutkreislaufes zu errei­ chen, er braucht also weder über den Magen-Darm-Trakt noch durch Injektion zugeführt zu werden.Through this cuff or sleeve you can achieve that the infection risk reducing agent right there and continuously over a sufficiently long period of time is given where there is a risk of infection. Man can therefore work with small amounts of active ingredient, so that the body works only to a lesser extent material itself is claimed and the corresponding ancillary is exposed to effects. The active ingredient does not need to reach the site of action via the path of the blood circulation Chen, so he does not need the gastrointestinal tract still to be delivered by injection.

Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn die Manschette oder Hülse aus einem ein Antibiotikum abgebenden Werkstoff be­ steht, welcher zum Beispiel als sogenannter Knochenze­ ment (Polymethylmetacrylat) bekannt ist. Solche Werkstof­ fe werden für andere Anwendungsfälle, beispielsweise als Kittsubstanz beim Einpflanzen von künstlichen Gelenken, verwendet und zum Beispiel von der Firma E. Merck in Darmstadt unter der Bezeichnung "Refobacin-Palacos" ver­ trieben und sind zugelassen. Sie können daher ohne Risi­ ken auch für den neuen Verwendungszweck eingesetzt wer­ den.It is particularly advantageous if the cuff or Sleeve made of an antibiotic material stands, which for example as a so-called bone zen ment (polymethyl methacrylate) is known. Such material fe are used for other applications, such as Cement substance when implanting artificial joints, used and for example by E. Merck in Darmstadt under the name "Refobacin-Palacos" ver driven and are approved. You can therefore without Risi ken also used for the new purpose the.

Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung wird nunmehr auf die Zeichnung Bezug genommen. Diese zeigt einen Schnitt durch einen Extremitätenabschnitt mit fixiertem äußeren Spanner (Fixateur extern) mit in diesem Fall zur besse­ ren Übersichtlichkeit nur zwei intraossär liegenden Stä­ ben. To further explain the invention, reference is now made to referred to the drawing. This shows a cut through a limb section with a fixed outer Tensioner (external fixator) to be better in this case For clarity, only two intraosseous columns ben.  

In der Zeichnung ist ein Teilbereich eines gebrochenen Extremitätenknochens 1 mit dem ihn umgebenden Weichgewe­ be dargestellt. Die beiden den Knochen durchbohrenden Haltestäbe 5 sind durch außen liegende Verspannungsstäbe 3 verbunden. Es handelt sich bis hierher um bekannte und sehr häufig verwendete Techniken und Methoden im Bereich der Knochenchirurgie.In the drawing, a portion of a broken limb bone 1 is shown with the surrounding soft tissue be. The two holding rods 5 piercing the bone are connected by external tension rods 3 . So far, these are known and very frequently used techniques and methods in the field of bone surgery.

Wichtig für die Erfindung ist, daß an den Austrittsstel­ len der Haltestäbe 5 aus dem Weichgewebe 2 auf ihm jeweils eine ein- oder mehrteilige Manschette oder Hülse 4 plaziert wird, die aus einem Werkstoff besteht, der Antibiotika kontinuierlich abzugeben vermag. Ein geeig­ neter Werkstoff wird beispielsweise von der Firma E. Merck Darmstadt unter der Bezeichnung "Refobacin-Pala­ cos angeboten.It is important for the invention that at the exit points len of the holding rods 5 from the soft tissue 2 , a one- or multi-part sleeve or sleeve 4 is placed on it, which consists of a material that is able to deliver antibiotics continuously. A suitable material is offered, for example, by E. Merck Darmstadt under the name "Refobacin-Pala cos.
