Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une vis implantable dans un os et un instrument pour sa mise en place. The present invention relates to a screw implantable in a bone and an instrument for its implementation.
Cette vis peut être utilisée dans tout type d'application liée à la chirurgie osseuse, et notamment à l'ancrage à l'os des extrémités d'un ligament prothétique. This screw can be used in any type of application related to bone surgery, and in particular to anchoring the ends of a prosthetic ligament to the bone.
Il peut en particulier s'agir d'une vis dite "d'interférence", c'est-à-dire une vis destinée à venir écraser un greffon osseux solidaire de l'une des extrémités d'un tel ligament contre la paroi du logement, aménagé dans l'os, recevant ce greffon.It may in particular be a so-called "interference" screw, that is to say a screw intended to crush a bone graft secured to one of the ends of such a ligament against the wall of the housing, arranged in the bone, receiving this graft.
Il est bien connu d'employer des vis pour fixer des prothèses d'articulation ou de ligament, ou pour fixer des dispositifs d'ostéosynthèse à des os ou à des fragments d'os. It is well known to use screws to fix joint or ligament prostheses, or to fix osteosynthesis devices to bones or bone fragments.
Ces vis sont généralement métalliques. Compte tenu de leur résistance intrinsèque, il est possible d'exercer sur elles des couples de serrage importants au cours de leur insertion dans l'os ou pour réaliser leur blocage. These screws are generally metallic. Given their intrinsic resistance, it is possible to exert significant tightening torques on them during their insertion into the bone or to achieve their blocking.
Ces vis présentent toutefois l'inconvénient de constituer une gêne lorsqu'il s'agit de reprendre une prothèse, c'est-à-dire de retirer la prothèse préalablement implantée pour la remplacer par une autre plus adaptée. Il est alors nécessaire de retrouver l'emplacement exact des vis, de dégager leur accès et de les retirer, ce qui peut être particulièrement difficile à réaliser dans certains cas. En outre, ces vis gênent la lecture des radiographies. However, these screws have the drawback of constituting discomfort when it comes to retaking a prosthesis, that is to say removing the prosthesis previously implanted to replace it with another more suitable. It is then necessary to find the exact location of the screws, to clear their access and to remove them, which can be particularly difficult in certain cases. In addition, these screws interfere with the reading of radiographs.
Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, on connaît de réaliser des vis biodégradables, c'est-à-dire en matériau synthétique approprié susceptible d'être dégradé par le corps après un certain délai, pouvant aller de quelques mois à quelques années. Elles assurent donc une fixation temporaire de l'implant, dite "primaire", le temps que l'ancrage définitif de l'implant s'opère par repousse osseuse, et réalise la fixation dite "secondaire". To overcome these drawbacks, it is known to produce biodegradable screws, that is to say of suitable synthetic material capable of being degraded by the body after a certain period, which can range from a few months to a few years. They therefore provide a temporary fixation of the implant, called "primary", the time that the final anchoring of the implant takes place by bone regrowth, and performs the fixation called "secondary".
Après dégradation complète de ces vis, il ne se pose aucun problème de retrait d'une prothèse ou de lecture des radiographies. Ces vis présentent par contre l'inconvénient d'être fragiles et d'être susceptibles de se casser au cours de leur mise en place dans l'os, lorsque par exemple les pré-trous qui les reçoivent ne présentent pas le diamètre adéquat. After complete degradation of these screws, there is no problem of removing a prosthesis or reading radiographs. These screws on the other hand have the disadvantage of being fragile and of being liable to break during their positioning in the bone, when for example the pre-holes which receive them do not have the appropriate diameter.
La pose de ces vis est donc délicate. En effet, lorsque le couple de serrage exercé est important, le praticien peut hésiter à poursuivre la mise en place d'une vis étant donné le risque de rupture. S'il décide alors d'opérer un dévissage, ce risque de rupture existe également puisqu'au-delà d'un certain couple de serrage, ce dévissage peut également amener à la rupture du corps de la vis. The installation of these screws is therefore delicate. Indeed, when the tightening torque exerted is large, the practitioner may hesitate to continue the installation of a screw given the risk of rupture. If he then decides to unscrew, this risk of rupture also exists since, beyond a certain tightening torque, this unscrewing can also lead to rupture of the body of the screw.
Dans le cas où une telle rupture se produit, le retrait de la partie de la vis insérée et solidement bloquée dans l'os peut s'avérer particulièrement difficile. Il est en effet obligatoire de détruire la vis en coupant sa partie saillante et en meulant la partie insérée dans l'os au moyen d'une mèche. In the event that such a rupture occurs, removal of the part of the screw inserted and securely locked in the bone can be particularly difficult. It is indeed compulsory to destroy the screw by cutting its projecting part and by grinding the part inserted in the bone by means of a drill bit.
La mise en place de ces vis peut par conséquent être source de difficultés, de perte de temps et de perte financière compte tenu du prix très élevé de ces vis. The installation of these screws can therefore be a source of difficulties, loss of time and financial loss given the very high price of these screws.
La présente invention vise à remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients en fournissant une vis ne risquant pas de se casser en cours d'insertion et pouvant être facilement retirée après rupture, le cas échéant. The present invention aims to remedy all of these drawbacks by providing a screw which does not risk breaking during insertion and which can be easily removed after rupture, if necessary.
A cette fin, dans la vis selon l'invention, la liaison en rotation entre la tête de manoeuvre de la vis et le corps de la vis est conformée de manière à pouvoir être supprimée en deçà du couple pouvant conduire à une rupture du corps, et le corps comprend des moyens permettant sa manoeuvre en rotation, après suppression de cette liaison. To this end, in the screw according to the invention, the connection in rotation between the operating head of the screw and the body of the screw is shaped so that it can be removed below the torque which can lead to a rupture of the body, and the body comprises means allowing its maneuver in rotation, after removal of this connection.
Ainsi, la vis peut être serrée jusqu'à un certain couple, au-delà duquel la liaison en rotation entre la tête de manoeuvre et le corps est supprimée. Ce couple est inférieur à celui pouvant conduire à une rupture du corps de la vis, de sorte que tout risque d'une telle rupture est éliminé. La suppression de la liaison en rotation entre la tête de manoeuvre et le corps de la vis indique au praticien qu'un certain seuil de couple a été atteint et lui permet de décider, en fonction du risque de rupture encouru, s'il convient de retirer le corps de la vis pour élargir son trou récepteur ou s'il est malgré tout possible de poursuivre le vissage. Les moyens de manoeuvre en rotation du corps de la vis après suppression de ladite liaison permettent soit de retirer le corps de la vis hors du trou dans le cas d'un dévissage, soit de poursuivre, le cas échéant, le vissage. Thus, the screw can be tightened to a certain torque, beyond which the rotational connection between the operating head and the body is eliminated. This torque is less than that which can lead to a rupture of the body of the screw, so that any risk of such a rupture is eliminated. The removal of the rotating connection between the operating head and the body of the screw indicates to the practitioner that a certain torque threshold has been reached and allows him to decide, according to the risk of rupture incurred, whether it is necessary to remove the body of the screw to widen its receiving hole or if it is still possible to continue screwing. The means for maneuvering the body of the screw in rotation after removal of the said connection makes it possible either to remove the body of the screw from the hole in the case of unscrewing, or to continue, if necessary, the screwing.
Il convient de noter que l'invention est en particulier destinée aux vis biodégradables mais qu'elle peut être appliquée à des vis non biodégradables, notamment métalliques, étant donné que ces vis peuvent également casser dans certaines circonstances. It should be noted that the invention is in particular intended for biodegradable screws but that it can be applied to non-biodegradable screws, in particular metal screws, since these screws can also break under certain circumstances.
Suivant une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, la tête de manoeuvre de la vis est reliée par un col à une tige de section transversale polygonale destinée à être engagée, avec possibilité de retrait, dans un trou de section correspondante aménagé axialement dans le corps de la vis, le col ayant une section transversale telle qu'il est amené à se rompre au-delà d'un certain seuil de couple, et à permettre de réaliser la suppression précitée de la liaison entre la tête de manoeuvre et le corps de la vis. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the screw operating head is connected by a neck to a rod of polygonal cross section intended to be engaged, with the possibility of withdrawal, in a hole of corresponding section arranged axially in the body of the screw, the neck having a cross section such that it is made to break beyond a certain torque threshold, and to allow the abovementioned suppression of the connection between the operating head and the body to be achieved of the screw.
L'engagement de la tige dans le trou permet de lier en rotation l'ensemble tête de manoeuvre-tige polygonale et le corps de la vis. La rupture du col permet de supprimer cette liaison. The engagement of the rod in the hole makes it possible to link in rotation the assembly of the polygonal operating-rod head and the body of the screw. The rupture of the cervix removes this bond.
Après cette rupture, la tige et la portion rompue du col qui y est attachée peuvent être retirées du trou du corps. Une tige solidaire d'un moyen de manoeuvre en rotation peut alors être engagée dans le trou du corps, pour le dévissage ou, le cas échéant, la poursuite du vissage. After this rupture, the rod and the ruptured portion of the cervix attached to it can be removed from the body hole. A rod secured to a rotary actuating means can then be engaged in the hole of the body, for unscrewing or, if necessary, further screwing.
De préférence, le corps de la vis, le col et la tête de manoeuvre sont percés axialement, ce qui permet leur engagement sur une broche de guidage placée coaxialement au trou destiné à recevoir la vis. Preferably, the body of the screw, the neck and the operating head are drilled axially, which allows their engagement on a guide pin placed coaxially with the hole intended to receive the screw.
Suivant une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, le moyen de manoeuvre de la vis après rupture du col comprend une tête de manoeuvre, un col et une tige similaires à la tête de manoeuvre, au col et à la tige précités, sinon qu'ils ne sont pas percés axialement pour leur engagement sur la broche de guidage, de sorte que ce col est plein et est plus solide que le col précité traversé dudit perçage axial, donc apte à permettre la manoeuvre en rotation du corps de la vis au-delà du seuil de couple ayant conduit à la rupture du col de la première tête de manoeuvre. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the means for operating the screw after rupture of the neck comprises an operating head, a neck and a rod similar to the above-mentioned operating head, neck and rod, except that '' they are not drilled axially for their engagement on the guide pin, so that this neck is full and is more solid than the aforementioned neck crossed by said axial bore, therefore able to allow the rotation of the body of the screw to beyond the torque threshold having led to the rupture of the neck of the first operating head.
L'instrument permettant la manoeuvre de la vis en rotation est conformé pour retenir la tête de la vis dans le cas où la suppression de la liaison de la tête et du corps de la vis amène à une séparation de cette tête et de ce corps. The instrument allowing the rotation of the screw to be maneuvered is designed to retain the head of the screw in the event that the removal of the connection between the head and the body of the screw leads to a separation of this head and this body.
Suivant une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, cet instrument se présente sous la forme d'un tournevis comprenant une lame dont l'extrémité libre peut venir en prise avec la tête de la vis, cet instrument comprenant un élément tubulaire pourvu d'un épaulement à une extrémité, susceptible d'être engagé sur la lame, de venir emprisonner la tête de la vis entre lui et l'extrémité libre de la lame, et de retenir cette tête après séparation de celle-ci d'avec le corps de la vis. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this instrument is in the form of a screwdriver comprising a blade whose free end can come into engagement with the head of the screw, this instrument comprising a tubular element provided with a shoulder at one end, capable of being engaged on the blade, to imprison the head of the screw between it and the free end of the blade, and to retain this head after separation of the latter from the body of the screw.
Avantageusement, l'instrument selon l'invention est conformé pour pouvoir être engagé sur une broche de guidage placée coaxialement au trou de réception de la vis, et sur laquelle la vis est engagée. Advantageously, the instrument according to the invention is shaped to be able to be engaged on a guide pin placed coaxially with the receiving hole of the screw, and on which the screw is engaged.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la vis implantable dans un os et de l'instrument de mise en place de cette vis, qu'elle concerne. For a good understanding, the invention is again described below with reference to the appended schematic drawing representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the screw implantable in a bone and of the delivery instrument. in place of this screw, which it relates to.

FIG. 3 is a view in longitudinal section of the instrument for placing this screw and
Figures 4 to 7 are views in longitudinal section of the screw and the end of the instrument, during four phases of positioning of the screw.
La figure 1 représente une vis 2 implantable dans un os, comprenant un corps fileté 3 et une pièce 4 de manoeuvre en rotation du corps 3. FIG. 1 represents a screw 2 implantable in a bone, comprising a threaded body 3 and a part 4 for operating in rotation of the body 3.
Le corps 3 présente un filetage 5 destiné à prendre appui dans l'os et une extrémité distale 6, de forme sensiblement conique. Il est percé axialement, au niveau du filetage 5, d'un trou 7 de section transversale carrée, et, au niveau de la tête 6, d'un alésage 8. The body 3 has a thread 5 intended to rest in the bone and a distal end 6, of substantially conical shape. It is pierced axially, at the thread 5, with a hole 7 of square cross section, and, at the head 6, with a bore 8.
En outre, le corps 3 est réalisé en matériau synthétique susceptible d'être dégradé par le corps humain après un certain délai, pouvant aller de quelques mois à quelques années. In addition, the body 3 is made of synthetic material capable of being degraded by the human body after a certain period, which can range from a few months to a few years.
La pièce de manoeuvre 4 comprend une tête hexagonale 10, reliée par un col 11 à une tige 12 de section transversale carrée, destinée à être engagée, avec possibilité de retrait, dans le trou 7. The operating part 4 comprises a hexagonal head 10, connected by a neck 11 to a rod 12 of square cross section, intended to be engaged, with the possibility of withdrawal, in the hole 7.
La pièce 4 comprend de plus une collerette 13 située entre le col 11 et la tige 12, et est, en outre, percée axialement par un alésage 14 venant en face de l'alésage 8 lorsque la tige 12 est engagée dans le trou 7. The part 4 further comprises a flange 13 situated between the neck 11 and the rod 12, and is, moreover, axially pierced by a bore 14 coming opposite the bore 8 when the rod 12 is engaged in the hole 7.
L'engagement de la tige 12 dans le trou 7 permet de lier en rotation la pièce 4 et le corps 3. The engagement of the rod 12 in the hole 7 makes it possible to link the part 4 and the body 3 in rotation.
Le col 11 a une section transversale telle qu'il est amené à se rompre au-delà d'un certain seuil de couple exercé sur la tête hexagonale 10, ainsi que cela est expliqué ci-dessous. The neck 11 has a cross section such that it is made to break beyond a certain threshold of torque exerted on the hexagonal head 10, as is explained below.
La figure 2 représente une pièce de manoeuvre 20 similaire en tous points à la pièce de manoeuvre 4 sinon qu'elle ne comprend pas de perçage axial 14. Par souci de simplification, les éléments déjà décrits en référence à la figure 1 qui se retrouvent dans cette pièce 20 sont désignés par les mêmes références. FIG. 2 represents an operating part 20 similar in all points to the operating part 4 except that it does not include an axial bore 14. For the sake of simplification, the elements already described with reference to FIG. 1 which are found in this part 20 are designated by the same references.
Du fait de l'absence du perçage axial 14, le col 11 de la pièce de manoeuvre 20 est plus solide que le col 11 de la pièce de manoeuvre 4, de sorte qu'un couple de serrage plus important peut être exercé sur la tête de manoeuvre 10 de la pièce 20 par rapport à celui pouvant être exercé sur la tête de manoeuvre 10 de la pièce 4. Due to the absence of the axial bore 14, the neck 11 of the operating piece 20 is stronger than the neck 11 of the operating piece 4, so that a greater tightening torque can be exerted on the head operating 10 of the part 20 relative to that which can be exerted on the operating head 10 of the part 4.
La figure 3 représente un tournevis 30 destiné à permettre l'implantation de la vis 2 dans un os. FIG. 3 represents a screwdriver 30 intended to allow the implantation of the screw 2 in a bone.
Le tournevis 30 comprend un manche 31 et une lame 32 dont l'extrémité libre présente une cavité hexagonale 33 permettant au tournevis 30 de venir en prise avec l'une ou l'autre des têtes hexagonales 10. The screwdriver 30 comprises a handle 31 and a blade 32, the free end of which has a hexagonal cavity 33 allowing the screwdriver 30 to come into engagement with one or the other of the hexagonal heads 10.
L'assemblage de la lame 32 et du manche 31 est réalisé au moyen d'un filetage 34 aménagé dans l'extrémité de la lame 32 engagée dans le manche 31 et d'une vis 35 venant en prise avec ce filetage 34 et en appui contre l'extrémité du manche 31. The assembly of the blade 32 and the handle 31 is carried out by means of a thread 34 arranged in the end of the blade 32 engaged in the handle 31 and of a screw 35 engaging with this thread 34 and resting against the end of the handle 31.
La lame 32 comporte en outre un épaulement 36 contre lequel un écrou épaulé 37 vient en appui. Cet écrou 37, lors de l'assemblage des pièces constituant le tournevis 30, est engagé sur la lame 32 avant mise en place du manche 31 et de la vis 35. The blade 32 further comprises a shoulder 36 against which a shouldered nut 37 comes to bear. This nut 37, during the assembly of the parts constituting the screwdriver 30, is engaged on the blade 32 before fitting the handle 31 and the screw 35.
Le tournevis 30 comprend de plus un élément tubulaire 38 apte à être engagé sur la lame 32, dont une extrémité est pourvue d'un filetage 39 et dont l'autre extrémité comprend un épaulement intérieur 40. The screwdriver 30 further comprises a tubular element 38 capable of being engaged on the blade 32, one end of which is provided with a thread 39 and the other end of which comprises an internal shoulder 40.
Le filetage 39 est apte à venir en prise avec le taraudage de l'écrou 37 et l'épaulement 40 est tel qu'il permet le passage de la tige 12 des pièces de manoeuvre 4 ou 20 mais pas celui de la collerette 13 de ces mêmes pièces. The thread 39 is able to engage with the thread of the nut 37 and the shoulder 40 is such that it allows the passage of the rod 12 of the operating parts 4 or 20 but not that of the flange 13 of these same pieces.
En outre, la lame 32 et la vis 35 sont percées axialement d'alésages longitudinaux, respectivement 41 et 42. In addition, the blade 32 and the screw 35 are axially pierced with longitudinal bores, 41 and 42 respectively.
Ainsi que cela apparaît sur la figure 4, l'élément tubulaire 38 et le positionnement de l'écrou 37 sur la lame 32 sont tels que l'épaulement 40 vient en appui contre la collerette 13 lorsque l'écrou 37 est vissé et est serré sur le filetage 39, et ce alors que la tête 10 est engagée dans la cavité 33. Dans cette position, par conséquent, la pièce de manoeuvre 4 ou 20 est emprisonnée et est maintenue à l'extrémité de la lame 32, la tête 10 étant liée en rotation au le tournevis 30, tandis que l'ensemble tige 12-collerette 13 n'est lié en rotation au tournevis 30 que par le col 11. As shown in Figure 4, the tubular member 38 and the positioning of the nut 37 on the blade 32 are such that the shoulder 40 abuts against the flange 13 when the nut 37 is screwed and is tightened on the thread 39, and this while the head 10 is engaged in the cavity 33. In this position, consequently, the operating part 4 or 20 is trapped and is held at the end of the blade 32, the head 10 being linked in rotation to the screwdriver 30, while the rod-flange assembly 13 is only linked in rotation to the screwdriver 30 by the neck 11.
Les figures 4 à 7 montrent différentes phases de mise en place du corps 3 dans un os 50. Figures 4 to 7 show different phases of placing the body 3 in a bone 50.
La figure 4 montre qu'après perçage d'un pré-trou 51 dans l'os 50, une broche de guidage 52 est fichée dans l'os 50, coaxialement au trou 51. FIG. 4 shows that after drilling a pre-hole 51 in the bone 50, a guide pin 52 is inserted in the bone 50, coaxially with the hole 51.
Le corps 3 est ensuite engagé sur cette broche 52, grâce à l'alésage 8 et au trou 7. The body 3 is then engaged on this pin 52, thanks to the bore 8 and to the hole 7.
La pièce 4, préalablement montée à l'extrémité du tournevis 30 de la manière précitée, est ensuite engagée, ainsi que le tournevis 30, sur la broche de guidage 52, grâce aux alésages 14,41 et 42. The part 4, previously mounted at the end of the screwdriver 30 in the aforementioned manner, is then engaged, like the screwdriver 30, on the guide pin 52, by virtue of the bores 14, 41 and 42.
L'engagement de la tige 12 dans le trou 7 permet de lier la pièce 4 en rotation par rapport au corps 3 et de visser ce corps 3 dans le trou 51, ainsi que le montre la figure 5. The engagement of the rod 12 in the hole 7 makes it possible to link the part 4 in rotation relative to the body 3 and to screw this body 3 in the hole 51, as shown in FIG. 5.
Le corps 3, compte tenu de son matériau constitutif précité, présente une relative fragilité, de sorte que l'exercice d'un couple important sur lui pourrait conduire à sa rupture alors qu'il serait partiellement engagé dans le trou 51. Le retrait de la partie du corps 3 insérée et solidement bloquée dans l'os pourrait s'avérer particulièrement difficile puisqu'il serait alors obligatoire de détruire le corps 3 en coupant sa partie faisant saillie de l'os et en meulant sa partie insérée dans l'os au moyen d'une mèche. The body 3, taking into account its aforementioned constituent material, has a relative fragility, so that the exercise of a significant torque on it could lead to its rupture while it is partially engaged in the hole 51. The withdrawal of the part of the body 3 inserted and firmly locked in the bone could prove to be particularly difficult since it would then be compulsory to destroy the body 3 by cutting its part protruding from the bone and by grinding its part inserted in the bone using a wick.
Au cours du vissage de la vis 2, le col 11 subit l'essentiel du couple exercé, étant donné que la tête 10 est liée en rotation au tournevis 30 alors que l'ensemble tige 12-collerette 13 ne l'est pas. Le col 11 a, comme déjà indiqué, une section telle qu'il va être amené à se rompre au-delà de l'exercice sur la tête 10 d'un certain seuil de couple. Cette section est prévue de manière à ce que le col 11 se rompe en deçà du couple pouvant conduire à une rupture du corps 3, de sorte que tout risque d'une telle rupture est éliminé. During the screwing of the screw 2, the neck 11 undergoes most of the torque exerted, since the head 10 is linked in rotation to the screwdriver 30 while the rod 12-flange 13 assembly is not. The neck 11 has, as already indicated, a section such that it will be caused to break beyond the exercise on the head 10 of a certain torque threshold. This section is provided so that the neck 11 breaks below the torque which can lead to a rupture of the body 3, so that any risk of such a rupture is eliminated.
La figure 6 montre une pièce de manoeuvre 4 dont le col 11 est rompu. Cette rupture indique au praticien qu'un seuil de couple important a été atteint et lui permet de décider, en fonction du risque encouru de rupture du corps 3, s'il convient de retirer le corps 3 pour élargir le trou 51 ou s?il est malgré tout possible de poursuivre le vissage. Figure 6 shows an operating part 4 whose neck 11 is broken. This rupture indicates to the practitioner that a significant torque threshold has been reached and allows him to decide, depending on the risk of rupture of the body 3, whether to remove the body 3 to widen the hole 51 or if it is still possible to continue the tightening.
Comme cela est visible sur cette figure, il suffit de retirer le tournevis 30 hors de la broche de guidage 52 pour retirer la tige 12 du trou 7, la collerette 13 étant retenue par l'épaulement 40. L'ensemble de la pièce 4 reste attaché à l'extrémité du tournevis 30 même après rupture du col 11, de sorte qu'aucun risque de perte de l'une ou l'autre de ces pièces cassées n'est possible. As can be seen in this figure, it suffices to remove the screwdriver 30 from the guide pin 52 to remove the rod 12 from the hole 7, the flange 13 being retained by the shoulder 40. The entire part 4 remains attached to the end of the screwdriver 30 even after rupture of the neck 11, so that no risk of loss of one or the other of these broken parts is possible.
Pour assurer le vissage ou le dévissage du corps 3, la pièce 20 est mise en place, de la manière précitée, à l'extrémité de la lame 32 du tournevis 30. Après retrait de la broche de guidage 52, la tige 12 de la pièce 20 est engagée dans le trou 7, ce qui permet de lier en rotation la pièce 20 et le corps 3. To ensure the screwing or unscrewing of the body 3, the part 20 is put in place, as mentioned above, at the end of the blade 32 of the screwdriver 30. After removal of the guide pin 52, the rod 12 of the part 20 is engaged in the hole 7, which makes it possible to link the part 20 and the body 3 in rotation.
Comme déjà indiqué, du fait de l'absence de l'alésage 14, le col 11 de la pièce 20 est plus solide que le col 11 de la pièce 4, de sorte qu'un couple supérieur à celui ayant provoqué la rupture de la pièce 4 peut être exercé sur la pièce 20 pour permettre le dévissage ou, le cas échéant, le vissage complet du corps 3. As already indicated, due to the absence of the bore 14, the neck 11 of the part 20 is more solid than the neck 11 of the part 4, so that a torque greater than that which caused the rupture of the part 4 can be exerted on part 20 to allow unscrewing or, if necessary, complete screwing of the body 3.
L'invention fournit ainsi une vis 2 dont le corps fileté 3 ne risque pas de se casser au cours de son insertion dans l'os. Ce corps 3 peut en outre être facilement retiré s'il venait à se rompre, par engagement de la tige 12 dans le trou 7. The invention thus provides a screw 2 whose threaded body 3 does not risk breaking during its insertion into the bone. This body 3 can also be easily removed if it breaks, by engagement of the rod 12 in the hole 7.
La vis 2 et son instrument 30 de mise en place permettent ainsi d'éliminer les difficultés, perte de temps et perte financière générées par la mise en place des vis biodégradables selon la technique antérieure. Il convient toutefois de noter que l'invention, bien que destinée en particulier aux vis biodégradables, peut être appliquée à des vis non biodégradables, notamment métalliques, étant donné que ces vis peuvent également se casser dans certaines circonstances. The screw 2 and its positioning instrument 30 thus make it possible to eliminate the difficulties, loss of time and financial loss generated by the installation of the biodegradable screws according to the prior art. It should however be noted that the invention, although intended in particular for biodegradable screws, can be applied to non-biodegradable screws, in particular metal screws, since these screws can also break under certain circumstances.
