Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui permet de remédier à deThe present invention relates to a device which makes it possible to remedy
graves problèmes de disques intervertébraux nécessitant une intervention chirurgicale. serious intervertebral disc problems requiring surgery.
En général l'intervention sur des disques très abîmés consistait à bloquer 5 les vertèbres attenantes à ces disques au moyen de deux plaques métalliques vissées en parallèle face à face sur les deux côtés de ces vertèbres les rendant solidaires en laissant un espace intervertébral suffisant pour supprimer les compressions des nerfs et des ligaments. Ce type d'intervention entraînait des séquelles considérables car il réduisait la longueur de flexibilité de la colonne 10 vertébrale. La vertèbre supérieure aux vertèbres bloquées devenait un pivot et le disque qui la supportait se détériorait à son tour très rapidement. L'handicap était important surtout irréversible dans ces conditions. Le patient était condamné à une mobilité de plus en plus restreinte. Compte tenu de l'importance des séquelles, les spécialistes choisissent à présent d'intervenir dès les symptômes de dénervations 15 en se limitant à dégager les nerfs compressés en procédant à l'ablation du débord du disque. Ce procédé soulage le patient momentanément mais le limite dans sa vie courante et l'handicap demeure car les efforts sont interdits et les mouvements doivent être faits très prudemment. Malgré cela avec le temps la récidive se fait ressentir. In general, intervention on severely damaged discs consisted in blocking the vertebrae adjoining these discs by means of two metal plates screwed in parallel face to face on the two sides of these vertebrae making them integral, leaving sufficient intervertebral space to remove compressions of nerves and ligaments. This type of intervention had considerable consequences since it reduced the length of flexibility of the spine. The vertebra superior to the blocked vertebrae became a pivot and the disc which supported it in turn deteriorated very quickly. The handicap was important, especially irreversible under these conditions. The patient was condemned to an increasingly restricted mobility. Given the importance of the after-effects, the specialists now choose to intervene as soon as the symptoms of denervation are limited to releasing the compressed nerves by removing the overhang of the disc. This process relieves the patient temporarily but limits it in their daily life and the handicap remains because efforts are prohibited and movements must be made very carefully. Despite this, over time the recurrence is felt.
Le dispositif de l'invention permet d'éviter tous ces inconvénients. Il permet d'opérer sur un ou plusieurs disques très abîmés qui engendrent des dénervations importantes entraînant des paralysies, provoquant des souffrances, des difficultés et souvent l'impossibilité à se mouvoir. Il permet de conserver la mobilité initiale de la colonne vertébrale sur toute sa longueur. Il supprime tous 25 risques de paralysie en rétablissant l'espace intervertébral. Il enlève la douleur, n'entraîne aucune séquelle et permet au patient opéré de se mouvoir tout à fait normalement sans aucun risque. Avec le dispositif de l'invention, on exclue la récidive. The device of the invention makes it possible to avoid all of these drawbacks. It allows you to operate on one or more very damaged discs which generate significant denervation resulting in paralysis, causing suffering, difficulty and often the impossibility of moving. It keeps the initial mobility of the spine over its entire length. It removes all 25 risks of paralysis by restoring the intervertebral space. It removes pain, causes no sequelae and allows the operated patient to move completely normally without any risk. With the device of the invention, recidivism is excluded.
Le dispositif de l'invention consiste à remplacer en toute ou partie les disques intervertébraux abîmés par des prothèses. Ces prothèses ont les mêmes propriétés que les disques originaux. La fabrication se fait en moulage en une matière qui ne présente aucun risque de rejet, d'intoxication ou de détérioration de 5 son environnement et pour une durée illimitée. L'invention consiste donc en une prothèse intervertébrale améliorant la mobilité de la colonne vertébrale en ce qu'elle comporte deux plaques compressibles et élastiques comprenant chacune un prolongement perpendiculaire servant de fixation des plaques à une vertèbre et ne formant qu'une masse et matière avec ces plaques, deux plaques en acier 10 inoxydable destinées à plaquer les prolongements perpendiculaires à la vertèbre, et des vis permettant l'assemblage de l'ensemble des dites pièces précédentes. Ces prothèses sont composées de plusieurs parties que l'on trouvera illustrées sur les dessins annexés cijoint à titre d'exemple non limitatif. The device of the invention consists in replacing all or part of the damaged intervertebral discs with prostheses. These prostheses have the same properties as the original discs. The manufacturing is done by molding in a material which presents no risk of rejection, intoxication or deterioration of its environment and for an unlimited period. The invention therefore consists of an intervertebral prosthesis improving the mobility of the spine in that it comprises two compressible and elastic plates each comprising a perpendicular extension serving to fix the plates to a vertebra and forming only a mass and material with these plates, two stainless steel plates 10 intended to plate the extensions perpendicular to the vertebra, and screws allowing the assembly of all of said previous parts. These prostheses are composed of several parts which will be illustrated in the attached drawings as a non-limiting example.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation dans le but de remplacer 15 intégralement un disque abîmé. According to a first embodiment with the aim of completely replacing a damaged disc.

- Deux plaques ( la-lb) élastiques et compressibles d'épaisseur parallèle dont chacune pourrait ressembler à une demi-lune ayant par leurs contours la forme de la base d'une vertèbre lorsqu'on les assemble face à face ressemblant fortement à un vrai disque intervertébral. Elles ont un sens de mise en 25 place. - Two elastic and compressible plates (la-lb) of parallel thickness each of which could resemble a half-moon having by their contours the shape of the base of a vertebra when they are assembled face to face strongly resembling a real intervertebral disc. They have a sense of placement.
Selon un second mode de réalisation dans le but de remplacer partiellement un disque abîmé. According to a second embodiment with the aim of partially replacing a damaged disc.

La figure 4 bis. représente 1 a prothèse en place en coupe vue de dos. Figure 4a. represents 1 prosthesis in place in cross section seen from the back.
Selon une seconde variante de réalisation. According to a second alternative embodiment.
Deux plaques ( la-lb) élastiques et compressibles d'épaisseur parallèle en forme d'arc de cercle qui pourrait ressembler à un demi croissant. Le contour interne de cet arc de cercle correspond à la courbe du canal lombaire. Ces plaques ont un sens de mise en place. Two elastic and compressible plates (la-lb) of parallel thickness in the shape of an arc of a circle which could resemble a half crescent. The internal contour of this arc corresponds to the curve of the lumbar canal. These plates have a sense of positioning.
Pour les deux variantes de réalisation chaque plaque comprend sa fixation ( 2a-2b) qui n'est rien d'autre qu'un prolongement perpendiculaire à la surface de cette plaque moulé dans la masse en une seule et même matière. Ces fixations sont rectangulaires à titre d'exemple non limitatif et varient dans leur épaisseur. Elles sont plates sur leur face externe et convexes sur leur face interne car elles épousent 15 la forme de la vertèbre sur laquelle elles sont plaquées et fixées. Chaque fixation est percée de deux trous ( 3a-3b-3c-3d). For the two variant embodiments, each plate includes its fixing (2a-2b) which is nothing other than an extension perpendicular to the surface of this plate molded in the mass from a single material. These fasteners are rectangular by way of nonlimiting example and vary in their thickness. They are flat on their external face and convex on their internal face because they follow the shape of the vertebra on which they are pressed and fixed. Each fixing is pierced with two holes (3a-3b-3c-3d).
- Deux plaques en acier inoxydable ( 4a-4b) rectangulaires par exemple. - Two rectangular stainless steel plates (4a-4b) for example.
Ces plaques sont pré-trouées ( 5a-5b-5c-5d) elles ne subissent aucun effort, elles servent à plaquer et rigidifier les fixations sur toute leur longueur et permettent un 20 vissage fiable. These plates are pre-drilled (5a-5b-5c-5d) they undergo no effort, they serve to press and stiffen the fasteners over their entire length and allow reliable screwing.
- Quatre vis en acier inoxydable ( 6a-6b-6c-6d) pour visser l'ensemble de la prothèse en pénétrant dans la vertèbre. Les quatre trous des plaques en acier se retrouvent en face des quatre trous des fixations au moment de l'assemblage. - Four stainless steel screws (6a-6b-6c-6d) to screw the entire prosthesis into the vertebra. The four holes of the steel plates are found opposite the four holes of the fasteners during assembly.
Avec le dispositif de l'invention, l'intervention chirurgicale se déroule sous 25 anesthésie générale. On pratique une ouverture le long de la colonne vertébrale au niveau de la région concernée pour atteindre le disque abîmé par les deux côtés. Ce sont les deux passages les plus faciles et qui causent le moins de dégâts. With the device of the invention, the surgical procedure takes place under general anesthesia. An opening is made along the spine at the level of the region concerned to reach the disc damaged by both sides. These are the two easiest passages and cause the least damage.
Dans le premier mode de réalisation on retire intégralement le disque défectueux par les accès sur les coté pour y mettre à la place par chaque côté une 30 plaque que l'on fait passer en biais et qu'on positionne une fois à l'intérieur en la faisant pivoter car le passage est étroit. In the first embodiment, the defective disc is entirely removed by the accesses on the sides, in order to put in place on each side a plate which is passed obliquely and which is positioned once inside in rotating it because the passage is narrow.
- Dans le second mode de réalisation on ne retire que la partie écrasée sur l'arrière du disque, sur une largeur de 1 cm environ et sur toute la périphérie du canal lombaire pour y mettre à la place par chaque côté une plaque servant de cale. - In the second embodiment, only the crushed part is removed on the rear of the disc, over a width of about 1 cm and over the entire periphery of the lumbar canal to put in place on each side a plate serving as a wedge .
Ce dispositif permet de conserver la majeure partie du disque si elle est satisfaisante. This device makes it possible to keep most of the disc if it is satisfactory.
- Dans les deux modes de réalisation les deux plaques se retrouvent face à face dans l'espace intervertébral, elles sont complémentaires et sur lesquelles va se reposer la colonne vertébrale. Sur chaque fixation on appose la plaque en acier inoxydable qui va la plaquer contre la vertèbre. Pour fixer le tout on fait passer les 10 deux vis par les trous prévus sur la plaque en acier en traversant au passage la fixation pré-trouée. On serre le tout en vissant dans la vertèbre. - In the two embodiments, the two plates are found face to face in the intervertebral space, they are complementary and on which the spinal column will rest. On each fixation we affix the stainless steel plate which will press it against the vertebra. To fix everything, pass the 10 two screws through the holes provided on the steel plate, crossing the pre-drilled fixing in passing. We tighten everything while screwing into the vertebra.
Concernant les fixations on a le choix entre deux options: on peut utiliser la vertèbre supérieure ou la vertèbre inférieure selon les besoins. Les deux procédés sont semblables; il permettent une chance supplémentaire dans le cas o 15 une des deux vertèbres attenantes serait inutilisable. Les prothèses se fixent sur une seule vertèbre la laissant ainsi totalement indépendante et mobile. Ce dispositif permet de traiter plusieurs disques sur une même colonne vertébrale. - 5 Regarding the fixings, there are two options: you can use the upper vertebra or the lower vertebra as needed. The two processes are similar; they allow an additional chance in the event that one of the two adjoining vertebrae is unusable. The prostheses are fixed on a single vertebra thus leaving it completely independent and mobile. This device makes it possible to treat several discs on the same spine. - 5
