Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen höhenverstellbaren Wirbelkörper ersatz.The invention relates to a height-adjustable vertebral body replacement.
Aus der DE-GM 91 07 494 ist ein höhenverstellbarer Wirbelkörper ersatz bekannt. Dieser weist eine Gewindestange auf, die an ihrem einen Ende ein Rechtsgewinde und an ihrem anderen Ende ein Links gewinde und in der Mitte eine schraubenmutterförmige Profilierung zum Eingreifen und Drehen der Gewindestange aufweist. Die Gewin destange ist an ihren beiden Enden jeweils mit damit zusammenwir kenden Stempeln verbunden, deren freie Enden mit einander gegen überliegenden Wirbelkörperflächen in Eingriff bringbar sind. Zum Einsetzen werden die Stempel zunächst so weit auf die Gewin destange aufgeschraubt, daß der Abstand der Außenflächen kleiner ist als der Abstand der abzustützenden Wirbel. Dann werden die beiden Stempel an den gegenüberliegenden Enden von Hand gehalten, während gleichzeitig durch Eingreifen in der Mitte die Gewin destange so weit gedreht wird, bis die Stempel mit den gegenüber liegenden Wirbeln in Eingriff gelangen und durch diesen Eingriff in einer drehfesten Stellung bei gleichzeitigem Weiterdrehen der Gewindestange gehalten werden. Die beiden gegenüberliegenden Stem pel weisen auf ihren mit den Wirbeln in Eingriff gelangenden Flä chen mit den Wirbelkörpern in Eingriff bringbare Dorne auf.DE-GM 91 07 494 is a height-adjustable vertebral body replacement known. This has a threaded rod on her a right-hand thread at one end and a left-hand thread at the other end thread and in the middle a screw-shaped profile for engaging and rotating the threaded rod. The profit destange interacts with it at both ends connected stamps, the free ends of which face each other overlying vertebral body surfaces can be brought into engagement. To the The stamps are initially inserted so far on the profit screwed at least that the distance between the outer surfaces is smaller is the distance of the vertebrae to be supported. Then they will both stamps held by hand at the opposite ends, while at the same time by intervening in the middle the profit the rod is turned until the stamp with the opposite lying vertebrae come into engagement and through this engagement in a rotationally fixed position while continuing to turn the Threaded rod are held. The two opposite stem pel point to their surfaces that come into contact with the vertebrae open thorns that can be brought into engagement with the vertebral bodies.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen höhenverstellbaren Wirbelkör perersatz so auszubilden, daß er einfacher bedienbar ist, denn ge rade die einfache Bedienbarkeit spielt bei dem Einsatzgebiet in der Wirbelchirurgie eine außerordentlich große Rolle.The object of the invention is a height-adjustable vertebral body training per substitute so that it is easier to use than ge straightforward operability plays a role in the application area spinal surgery plays an extremely important role.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch den in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichneten höhen verstellbaren Wirbelkörperersatz gelöst. Es wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Operateur mit einer Hand einfach die Hülse erfaßt und mit der anderen Hand die Dreheinstellung vornimmt. Bei Ineingriffge langen der Widerlagerkörper mit den Wirbelkörpern wirkt kein Dreh moment zwischen den Widerlagerkörpern und den Wirbelkörpern, so daß auch Verletzungen der Wirbeikörperdeckplatte vermieden werden.This task is increased by the marked in claim 1 adjustable vertebral body replacement solved. It is achieved that the surgeon simply grips the sleeve with one hand and with the other hand makes the turn setting. When intervening long the abutment body with the vertebral bodies has no rotation moment between the abutment bodies and the vertebral bodies, see above that injuries to the vertebral body cover plate are avoided.

Der höhenverstellbare Wirbelkörperersatz weist eine zylinderför mige Hülse 1 auf, die in axialer Richtung gesehen einen ersten Ab schnitt 2 und einen zweiten Abschnitt 3 aufweist. Zwischen diesen beiden Abschnitten weist der Zylindermantel Ausnehmungen 4, 5 auf. Auf der Innenseite des Zylindermantels ist zwischen den beiden Ab schnitten 2 und 3 auf den einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten je weils ein in das Zylinderinnere hineinragender Anschlag 6 vorgese hen. Ferner weist der Zylinder auf zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten sich parallel zur Zylinderachse erstreckende Führungsnuten 7, 8 auf. The height-adjustable vertebral body replacement has a zylinderför shaped sleeve 1 , which seen in the axial direction from a first section 2 and a second section 3 has. The cylinder jacket has recesses 4 , 5 between these two sections. On the inside of the cylinder jacket is between the two sections from 2 and 3 on the opposite sides each because a protruding into the cylinder interior stop 6 hen hen. Furthermore, the cylinder has guide grooves 7 , 8 which extend parallel to the cylinder axis on two opposite sides.
Der Wirbelkörperersatz weist einen ersten Widerlagerkörper 9 und einen zweiten Widerlagerkörper 10 auf. Beide Widerlagerkörper sind zylinderförmig ausgebildet und weisen einen Außendurchmesser auf, der um soviel kleiner ist als der Innendurchmesser der zylinder förmigen Hülse 1, daß die Widerlagerkörper gerade in dem Zylinder gleiten können. Auf ihrer Außenseite weisen die Widerlagerkörper beide an den den Nuten 7 und 8 entsprechenden Stellen nach außen hervorstehende Nasen 11, 12 auf, die so bemessen sind, daß sie in den Nuten 7, 8 gleiten können. Auf der Innenseite weist der erste Widerlagerkörper 9 ein Linksgewinde auf, während der zweite Wider lagerkörper auf seiner Innenseite ein Rechtsgewinde mit entspre chender Steigung aufweist. Die Widerlagerkörper 9, 10 weisen auf den jeweils mit den abzustützenden Wirbelkörpern zusammenwirkenden äußeren Randflächen 13, 14 nach außen hervorstehende Zacken 28, 29 auf, die mit den zugehörigen Wirbelkörpern in Eingriff gelangen.The vertebral body replacement has a first abutment body 9 and a second abutment body 10 . Both abutment bodies are cylindrical and have an outer diameter which is so much smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical sleeve 1 that the abutment body can slide straight in the cylinder. On their outside, the abutment bodies both have projections 11 , 12 which project outwards at the locations corresponding to the grooves 7 and 8 and are dimensioned such that they can slide in the grooves 7 , 8 . On the inside, the first abutment body 9 has a left-hand thread, while the second abutment body has a right-hand thread on its inside with a corresponding pitch. The abutment bodies 9 , 10 have on the outer edge surfaces 13 , 14 , which cooperate with the vertebral bodies to be supported, and outwardly projecting tines 28 , 29 which come into engagement with the associated vertebral bodies.
Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 1a und 8 ersichtlich ist, bildet der Bereich der hervorstehenden Zacken einen Mantel, dessen Wand stärke dünner ist als der der Widerlagerkörper 9, 10, und der vor zugsweise eine Wandstärke von etwa 1 mm besitzt. Die mantelförmige Wandung weist zwischen den Zacken und den Randflächen 13, 14 Aus nehmungen 30, 31 auf. Die Zacken selbst weisen, wie am besten aus Fig. 8 ersichtlich ist, überstehende Abschnitte 32, 33 zum Ab schneiden auf. Dadurch ist es möglich, daß der Operateur vor Ort zum Beispiel durch Abtrennen der in Fig. 8 angedeuteten Abschnitte 32, 33 keilförmig zueinander verlaufende Endflächen der Zacken anschneidet, so daß die durch die Zacken gebildeten Endflächen un ter einem Winkel zueinander verlaufen. Die Ausnehmungen 30, 31 sind vorzugsweise als sich in Axialrichtung erstreckende Dreiecke oder als Rauten ausgebildet.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1a and 8, the area of the protruding prongs forms a jacket, the wall thickness of which is thinner than that of the abutment body 9 , 10 , and which preferably has a wall thickness of approximately 1 mm. The jacket-shaped wall has recesses 30 , 31 between the teeth and the edge surfaces 13 , 14 . The prongs themselves have, as can best be seen from FIG. 8, projecting sections 32 , 33 for cutting off. This makes it possible for the surgeon to cut on site, for example by cutting off the portions 32 , 33 indicated in FIG. 8, of wedge-shaped end faces of the prongs, so that the end faces formed by the prongs run at an angle to one another. The recesses 30 , 31 are preferably designed as triangles extending in the axial direction or as diamonds.
Im Inneren der beiden Widerlagerkörper ist eine Gewindeeinrichtung 15 vorgesehen. Diese umfaßt an ihrem einen Ende einen ersten Ge windeabschnitt 16. Dieser ist zylinderförmig ausgebildet und weist ein Außengewinde auf, welches zu dem Innengewinde des ersten Wi derlagerkörpers 9 passend ausgebildet ist. Der Gewindeabschnitt ist einstückig mit einer sich koaxial erstreckenden Profilachse 17 ausgebildet. Das Profil hat die aus Fig. 2b ersichtliche Form. Die Länge der Gewindeeinrichtung entspricht der Länge der Hülse 1. Die Länge des ersten Gewindeabschnittes 16 entspricht der Länge des ersten Widerlagerkörpers 9. Die Gewindeeinrichtung 15 umfaßt fer ner den in Fig. 7a gezeigten zweiten Gewindeabschnitt 18. Dieser ist als Zylinderabschnitt ausgebildet und weist auf seiner äußeren Zylinderfläche ein Gewinde auf, welches dem Innengewinde des zwei ten Widerlagerkörpers 2 entspricht. Die Länge des zweiten Gewinde abschnittes entspricht der Länge des zweiten Widerlagerkörpers 10. Der zweite Gewindeabschnitt weist eine konzentrische Ausnehmung 19 auf, deren Querschnitt dem Querschnitt der Profilachse 17 ent spricht.A threaded device 15 is provided in the interior of the two abutment bodies. This comprises a first threaded section 16 at one end. This is cylindrical and has an external thread which is designed to match the internal thread of the first Wi derlagerkörpers 9 . The threaded section is formed in one piece with a coaxially extending profile axis 17 . The profile has the shape shown in FIG. 2b. The length of the thread device corresponds to the length of the sleeve 1 . The length of the first threaded section 16 corresponds to the length of the first abutment body 9 . The threaded device 15 further comprises the second threaded section 18 shown in FIG. 7a. This is designed as a cylinder section and has on its outer cylinder surface a thread which corresponds to the internal thread of the two-th abutment body 2 . The length of the second threaded section corresponds to the length of the second abutment body 10 . The second threaded portion has a concentric recess 19 , the cross section of which speaks ent the cross section of the profile axis 17 .
Schließlich weist der Wirbelkörperersatz einen Profilabschnitt 19 auf. Der Profilabschnitt 19 umfaßt einen plattenförmigen Abschnitt 20. Dieser weist einen ersten Abschnitt 21 auf, dessen äußerer Durchmesser kleiner ist als der verbleibende lichte Durchmesser zwischen den in das Zylinderinnere hineinstehenden Anschlagteilen 6. Daran angrenzend ist ein zweiter Abschnitt 22 vorgesehen, der kreisförmig ausgebildet ist und dessen Durchmesser größer ist als der Abstand der beiden Anschlagteile 6 und kleiner ist als der In nendurchmesser der zylinderförmigen Hülse 1. Der plattenförmige Abschnitt 22 weist eine koaxial ausgebildete Ausnehmung 23 auf, deren Querschnitt dem äußeren Querschnitt der Profilachse 17 ent spricht. Darüber hinaus weist der erste Abschnitt 21 sich in radi aler Richtung erstreckende und gegeneinander winkelmäßig versetzte Ausnehmungen 24 auf, die zum Eingreifen mittels eines stabförmigen Werkzeuges 25 dienen. Ferner umfaßt der Profilabschnitt 19 eine dem zweiten Abschnitt entsprechende zylinderförmige Platte 26, de ren Außendurchmesser dem Außendurchmesser des zweiten Abschnittes entspricht und die in gleicher Weise eine koaxiale Ausnehmung 27 aufweist, deren Querschnitt dem Querschnitt der Profilachse 17 entspricht.Finally, the vertebral body replacement has a profile section 19 . The profile section 19 comprises a plate-shaped section 20 . This has a first section 21 , the outer diameter of which is smaller than the remaining clear diameter between the stop parts 6 protruding into the cylinder interior. Adjacent to this is a second section 22 which is circular in shape and whose diameter is larger than the distance between the two stop parts 6 and smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical sleeve 1 . The plate-shaped section 22 has a coaxially formed recess 23 , the cross section of which speaks ent the outer cross section of the profile axis 17 . Furthermore, the first section 21 has recesses 24 which extend in the radial direction and are angularly offset from one another and which serve for engagement by means of a rod-shaped tool 25 . Furthermore, the profile section 19 comprises a cylindrical plate 26 corresponding to the second section, the outer diameter of which corresponds to the outer diameter of the second section and which in the same way has a coaxial recess 27 whose cross section corresponds to the cross section of the profile axis 17 .
Die Teile sind wie folgt zusammengesetzt:The parts are composed as follows:
Vom freien Ende der Profilachse 17 her wird der plattenförmige Ab schnitt 20 auf die Profilachse so aufgeschoben, daß er mit dem zweiten Abschnitt an der unteren Fläche des ersten Gewindeab schnittes anliegt. Ferner wird auf den ersten Gewindeabschnitt der erste Widerlagerkörper 9 vollständig aufgeschraubt. Der so vormon tierte Teil wird von oben in den ersten Abschnitt der Hülse 1 so weit eingeschoben, bis der zweite Abschnitt mit seinem hervorste henden Rand auf den Anschlägen 6 aufliegt. Von der anderen Seite der Hülse her wird durch den zweiten Abschnitt die Platte 26 bis zum Anschlag an die Unterseite des zweiten Abschnittes bzw. der Anschlagteile 6 aufgeschoben. Der zweite Widerlagerkörper 10 wird auf den zweiten Gewindeabschnitt 18 vollständig aufgeschraubt, und diese beiden Teile werden dann bei Eingriff der Nasen 11, 12 in die Nuten 7, 8 und des Profilabschnittes 19 mit der Profilachse 17 vollständig in den zweiten Abschnitt 3 der Hülse 1 eingeschoben. Die Bemessung des Profilabschnittes 19 ist so gewählt, daß eine ausreichende Reibverbindung zwischen Teil 18 und Profilachse 17 vorhanden ist.From the free end of the profile axis 17 ago, the plate-shaped section 20 is pushed onto the profile axis so that it rests with the second section on the lower surface of the first threaded section. Furthermore, the first abutment body 9 is completely screwed onto the first threaded section. The part thus vormon is inserted from above into the first section of the sleeve 1 until the second section rests on the stops 6 with its protruding edge. From the other side of the sleeve, the plate 26 is pushed up to the stop on the underside of the second section or the stop parts 6 through the second section. The second abutment body 10 is completely screwed onto the second threaded section 18 , and these two parts are then fully inserted into the second section 3 of the sleeve 1 when the lugs 11 , 12 engage in the grooves 7 , 8 and the profile section 19 with the profile axis 17 . The dimensioning of the profile section 19 is selected so that there is a sufficient frictional connection between part 18 and profile axis 17 .
Im Betrieb hat der so zusammengesetzte Wirbelkörperersatz seine kleinste Ausdehnung in axialer Richtung. Der Operateur erfaßt die Vorrichtung durch Ergreifen der Hülse mit einer Hand und greift mit einem stangenförmigen Werkzeug 25 in die Ausnehmungen 24 ein und dreht über den ersten Abschnitt 21 die Gewindeeinrichtung 15 und verschiebt als Folge davon die beiden Widerlagerkörper 9, 10 so weit nach außen, bis der Abstand der entgegengesetzt gerichte ten Randflächen 13, 14 bzw. der von diesen hervorstehenden Zacken 28, 29 so groß ist, daß die Wirbelkörper ausreichend abgestützt werden.In operation, the vertebral body replacement assembled in this way has its smallest extension in the axial direction. The operator grasps the device by gripping the sleeve with one hand and engages with a rod-shaped tool 25 in the recesses 24 and rotates the thread device 15 via the first section 21 and as a result moves the two abutment bodies 9 , 10 so far outwards, until the distance between the oppositely directed edge surfaces 13 , 14 or the prongs 28 , 29 protruding therefrom is so large that the vertebral bodies are adequately supported.
Die von den Widerlagerkörpern 9, 10 nach außen hervorstehenden Ränder mit den Zacken 28, 29 weisen rautenförmige Ausnehmungen 30, 31 auf, die rautenförmig bzw. dreieckförmig als Rautenabschnitte ausgebildet sind. Die an diesen Ausnehmungen hervorstehenden Zacken weisen jeweils eine im wesentlichen gleiche Länge auf. Wie aus Fig. 8 ersichtlich ist, sind die über die Ausnehmungen 30, 31 hervorstehenden Zacken so lang ausgebildet, daß die in Fig. 8 durch die strichpunktierten Linien angedeuteten Abschnitte 32, 33 abtrennbar sind, um so gewünschtenfalls einen im Querschnitt keil förmigen Wirbelkörperersatz zu schaffen. Als Material für den Wir belkörperersatz wird insbesondere Titanmaterial oder ein körperre sorbierbares Kunststoffmaterial gewählt. The edges with the prongs 28 , 29 projecting outward from the abutment bodies 9 , 10 have diamond-shaped recesses 30 , 31 , which are diamond-shaped or triangular in the form of diamond sections. The tines protruding from these recesses each have an essentially identical length. 8 as can be seen from Fig. , The protruding beyond the recesses 30 , 31 are formed so long that the portions 32 , 33 indicated by the dash-dotted lines in Fig. 8 are detachable, so as to a wedge-shaped vertebral body replacement to cross-section if desired create. Titanium material or a body-absorbable plastic material is chosen in particular as the material for the replacement of the body.
Bei der Operation wird der von dem die Zacken 28, 29 tragenden dünneren Mantel umgebene Raum mit körpereigenem oder fremdem Kno chenmaterial gefüllt. Die hervorstehenden Zacken 28, 29 greifen in die benachbarte Wirbelkörperdeckplatte ein. Es erfolgt anschlie ßend ein Verwachsen zwischen den benachbarten Wirbelkörpern bzw. Wirbelkörperdeckplatten und dem Implantat, so daß eine Verankerung erfolgt, die es ermöglicht, den höhenverstellbaren Wirbelkörperer satz nach der Erfindung als Langzeitimplantat zu verwenden.During the operation, the space surrounded by the thinner sheath carrying the prongs 28 , 29 is filled with the body's own or foreign bone material. The protruding prongs 28 , 29 engage in the adjacent vertebral body cover plate. There is then an intergrowth between the adjacent vertebral bodies or vertebral body cover plates and the implant, so that an anchoring takes place, which makes it possible to use the height-adjustable vertebral body set according to the invention as a long-term implant.
