Abstract

The prosthesis (1) has a humeral element (2) including a proximal part that is conformed and dimensioned such that the humeral element is implanted while preserving one of natural condyles of a humerus. A block (5) is laterally mounted on the proximal part. The block has a shape similar to the shape of one of the condyles such that the block permits to occupy a space occupied by the condyle, in case of ablation of the condyle. An ulnar element (3) and the humeral element are jointed with each other by a pin (4).

Description

1 La présente invention concerne une prothèse d'articulation du coude. UneThe present invention relates to an elbow joint prosthesis. A

prothèse d'articulation du coude comprend classiquement un élément huméral, formant une partie d'articulation et comprenant une tige médullaire d'ancrage destinée à être engagée dans le canal médullaire de l'humérus, et un élément cubital, formant une partie d'articulation destinée à coopérer avec la partie d'articulation de l'élément huméral et comprenant une tige médullaire d'ancrage destinée à être engagée dans le canal médullaire du cubitus. Certaines prothèses d'articulation de coude existantes ont pour inconvénient d'obliger à l'ablation des deux condyles naturels de l'humérus pour pouvoir être mises en place, et donc d'obliger à un sacrifice du capital osseux du patient. Pour remédier cet inconvénient, une prothèse d'articulation de coude existante comprend un élément huméral dont la partie d'articulation est formée par une chape et la partie d'articulation de l'élément cubital est formée par une tête comprenant un alésage transversal, cette tête étant reçue dans cette chape et l'ensemble étant traversé par une broche formant l'axe de pivotement de l'élément cubital par rapport à l'élément huméral. Grâce à ladite chape, cette prothèse permet de conserver les condyles naturels de l'humérus, lorsque cela est possible. Cependant, il se peut que l'un ou les deux condyles naturels de l'humérus aient été fracturés ou qu'ils doivent être supprimés pour d'autres raisons, auquel cas cette prothèse laisse exister un espace vide au niveau de ce ou ces condyles. L'existence de cet espace vide n'est pas favorable à la restitution de l'aspect de l'articulation naturelle ni à la parfaite immobilisation de l'élément huméral par rapport à l'os.  Elbow joint prosthesis conventionally comprises a humeral element, forming a hinge portion and comprising a medullary anchoring stem intended to be engaged in the medullary canal of the humerus, and a cubital element forming a hinge portion intended to cooperate with the articulating part of the humeral element and comprising a medullary anchoring stem intended to be engaged in the medullary canal of the ulna. Some existing elbow joint prostheses have the disadvantage of requiring the removal of the two natural condyles of the humerus in order to be put in place, and thus to force a sacrifice of the bone capital of the patient. To remedy this drawback, an existing elbow joint prosthesis comprises a humeral element whose hinge portion is formed by a yoke and the hinge portion of the ulnar element is formed by a head comprising a transverse bore, this head being received in this yoke and the assembly being traversed by a pin forming the axis of pivoting of the ulnar element relative to the humeral element. Thanks to said yoke, this prosthesis makes it possible to preserve the natural condyles of the humerus, when this is possible. However, it is possible that one or both of the natural condyles of the humerus have been fractured or that they must be removed for other reasons, in which case this prosthesis allows an empty space to exist at this or these condyles. . The existence of this empty space is not favorable to the restitution of the aspect of the natural articulation nor to the perfect immobilization of the humeral element with respect to the bone.

La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient essentiel, dans les meilleures conditions. Son objectif principal est donc de fournir une prothèse d'articulation du coude permettant la restitution de l'aspect de l'articulation naturelle même en cas de fractures ou de suppression de l'un ou des deux condyles naturels de l'humérus. Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une prothèse permettant l'obtention de l'objectif principal avec en outre l'obtention d'une parfaite immobilisation de l'élément huméral par rapport à l'humérus. Un autre objectif encore de l'invention est de fournir une prothèse permettant l'obtention de l'objectif principal avec en outre la possibilité d'adapter 2 très rapidement cette prothèse aux différentes situations pouvant se présenter au cours de l'intervention chirurgicale, à savoir selon qu'il est possible ou non de conserver l'un des deux condyles ou les deux condyles. La prothèse concernée comprend, de manière connue en soi, un élément huméral et un élément cubital. Selon l'invention, - l'élément huméral comprend une partie proximale conformée et dimensionnée pour rendre possible l'implantation de cet élément huméral avec conservation d'au moins un des condyles naturels de l'humérus, et - la prothèse comprend au moins un bloc pouvant être monté latéralement sur cette partie proximale de l'élément huméral, ayant une forme générale identique ou similaire à celle d'un condyle naturel de l'humérus, ce bloc permettant ainsi, en cas d'ablation d'au moins un desdits condyles naturels, d'occuper substantiellement l'espace occupé précédemment par ce condyle naturel. Ainsi, l'élément huméral comprend une partie proximale n'obligeant pas au sacrifice de l'un condyles naturels de l'humérus, ou des deux, lorsque ce ou ces condyles peuvent être conservés ; lorsque l'un de ces condyles doit être éliminé, la prothèse selon l'invention permet, par le montage du bloc précité sur la partie proximale de l'élément huméral, de reformer une zone de forme assimilable à celle d'un condyle naturel, et donc de restituer l'aspect extérieur de l'articulation prothétique. Lorsque les deux condyles naturels doivent être éliminés, deux blocs sont montés sur l'élément huméral. Avantageusement, chaque bloc comprend une cavité au niveau de sa partie destinée à se trouver, après implantation, du côté de l'humérus, cette cavité étant destinée à recevoir un moignon osseux, préalablement découpé en conséquence. Ce moignon osseux est aménagé au moment de la suppression du condyle naturel correspondant ; son engagement dans ladite cavité permet d'assurer une assise renforcée de l'élément huméral sur l'humérus, notamment selon l'axe longitudinal de l'humérus, et donc une parfaite immobilisation en pivotement de l'élément huméral par rapport à l'humérus. De préférence, 3 - l'élément huméral comprend au moins une paroi arrondie au niveau de sa partie proximale, conformée pour venir envelopper un condyle naturel lors de la mise en place de la prothèse, après résection appropriée de ce condyle, et chaque bloc est conformé pour, après montage, s'étendre le long de cette paroi arrondie, à proximité immédiate de celle-ci. Cette ou ces parois arrondies permettent de former un ou des condyles prothétiques adaptés à coopérer avec l'extrémité correspondante du cubitus ; chaque bloc peut épouser la forme concave de l'une de ces parois arrondies, afin de permettre de constituer une zone formant un condyle prothétique ne laissant exister aucun espace entre la paroi et le bloc. De préférence, l'élément huméral et l'élément cubital sont articulés l'un à l'autre au moyen d'une broche, et chaque bloc comprend un trou central traversant, au travers duquel cette broche peut être engagée. Le montage de chaque bloc sur l'élément huméral est ainsi réalisé au moyen de ladite broche. Ce montage peut être réalisé de manière particulièrement simple et rapide, et permet par conséquent, au cours de l'intervention, de mettre en place ou de retirer l'un des blocs ou les deux, selon l'état de l'os constaté au moment de cette intervention. De préférence, dans ce cas, l'élément huméral forme une chape et l'élément cubital comprend une tête percée d'un alésage transversal, cette tête étant destinée à être reçue dans ladite chape pour permettre l'engagement de ladite broche au travers des trous de la chape et au travers dudit alésage transversal, afin de relier l'élément huméral à l'élément cubital de manière articulée.  The present invention aims to remedy this essential disadvantage, under the best conditions. Its main objective is therefore to provide a prosthetic elbow joint allowing the restoration of the appearance of the natural joint even in case of fractures or removal of one or both natural condyles of the humerus. Another object of the invention is to provide a prosthesis for obtaining the main objective with further obtaining a perfect immobilization of the humeral element relative to the humerus. Another objective of the invention is to provide a prosthesis for obtaining the main objective with the further possibility of adapting very quickly this prosthesis to the different situations that may arise during the surgical procedure, to to know whether it is possible to keep one of the two condyles or the two condyles. The prosthesis concerned comprises, in a manner known per se, a humeral element and a cubital element. According to the invention, the humeral element comprises a proximal portion shaped and sized to make possible the implantation of this humeral element with preservation of at least one of the natural condyles of the humerus, and the prosthesis comprises at least one block that can be mounted laterally on this proximal portion of the humeral element, having a general shape identical or similar to that of a natural humeral condyle, this block thus enabling, in case of ablation of at least one of said natural condyles, to occupy substantially the space previously occupied by this natural condyle. Thus, the humeral element includes a proximal portion that does not require the sacrifice of a natural condyles of the humerus, or both, when this or these condyles can be preserved; when one of these condyles must be eliminated, the prosthesis according to the invention makes it possible, by mounting the aforementioned block on the proximal portion of the humeral element, to reform a zone of similar shape to that of a natural condyle, and therefore to restore the external appearance of the prosthetic joint. When the two natural condyles have to be eliminated, two blocks are mounted on the humeral element. Advantageously, each block comprises a cavity at its portion intended to be, after implantation, the side of the humerus, this cavity being intended to receive a bone stump, previously cut accordingly. This bone stump is arranged at the time of removal of the corresponding natural condyle; its engagement in said cavity makes it possible to ensure a reinforced base of the humeral element on the humerus, in particular along the longitudinal axis of the humerus, and thus a perfect immobilization in pivoting of the humeral element with respect to the humerus. Preferably, the humeral element comprises at least one rounded wall at its proximal portion, shaped to wrap a natural condyle during the placement of the prosthesis, after appropriate resection of this condyle, and each block is shaped, after mounting, extend along the rounded wall, in the immediate vicinity thereof. This or these rounded walls make it possible to form one or prosthetic condyles adapted to cooperate with the corresponding end of the ulna; each block can match the concave shape of one of these rounded walls, to allow to form a prosthetic condyle forming zone leaving no space between the wall and the block. Preferably, the humeral element and the ulnar element are articulated to each other by means of a pin, and each block comprises a central through hole, through which this pin can be engaged. The mounting of each block on the humeral element is thus achieved by means of said pin. This assembly can be performed in a particularly simple and fast manner, and therefore allows, during the intervention, to set up or remove one or both blocks, depending on the state of the bone found in moment of this intervention. Preferably, in this case, the humeral element forms a yoke and the cubital element comprises a head pierced with a transverse bore, this head being intended to be received in said yoke to allow the engagement of said pin through the holes of the yoke and through said transverse bore, to connect the humeral element to the ulnar element articulated manner.

Ladite chape forme avantageusement des parois externes planes, et chaque bloc forme une paroi plane destinée à être reçue contre l'une des parois externes planes correspondantes de ladite chape. De préférence, l'élément huméral et chaque bloc comprennent des moyens de positionnement de ce bloc par rapport à l'élément huméral.  Said clevis advantageously forms flat outer walls, and each block forms a flat wall intended to be received against one of the corresponding flat outer walls of said yoke. Preferably, the humeral element and each block comprise means for positioning this block relative to the humeral element.

Ces moyens de positionnement permettent de positionner précisément chaque bloc par rapport à l'élément huméral, le temps que soit réalisé le montage définitif. Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, dans ce cas, ces moyens de positionnement sont constitués par au moins un plot, de préférence 35 deux, solidaire soit de chaque bloc, soit de l'élément huméral, et par au moins un 4 trou correspondant aménagé, respectivement, soit dans l'élément huméral, soit dans chaque bloc, destiné à recevoir ledit plot de manière ajustée. L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la prothèse d'articulation du coude qu'elle concerne. La figure 1 en est une vue en perspective, deux blocs latéraux qu'elle comprend étant représentés en éclaté ; la figure 2 en est une vue similaire à la figure 1, après montage des deux blocs latéraux ; la figure 3 en est une vue en perspective, après mise en place sur un humérus dont les condyles naturels peuvent être substantiellement conservés, et la figure 4 en est une vue en perspective, après mise en place sur un humérus dont les condyles naturels ont été supprimés.  These positioning means make it possible to precisely position each block relative to the humeral element, the time that the final assembly is made. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in this case, these positioning means are constituted by at least one pad, preferably two, integral with each block or the humeral element, and by at least one 4 corresponding hole arranged respectively in the humeral element or in each block for receiving said stud in an adjusted manner. The invention will be better understood, and other features and advantages thereof will become apparent, with reference to the attached schematic drawing, showing, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the elbow joint prosthesis. that it concerns. Figure 1 is a perspective view, two side blocks it comprises being exploded; Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, after mounting the two side blocks; FIG. 3 is a perspective view, after placement on a humerus, the natural condyles of which may be substantially preserved, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view thereof, after placement on a humerus whose natural condyles have been deleted.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent une prothèse 1 d'articulation du coude, comprenant un élément huméral 2, un élément cubital 3, une broche 4 permettant de relier ces éléments 2 et 3 l'un à l'autre et deux blocs latéraux 5 pouvant être montés sur l'élément huméral 2. L'élément huméral 2 comprend une tige médullaire d'ancrage 10 et forme, à 20 sa partie proximale, une chape 11 destinée à recevoir une tête correspondante 21 que comprend l'élément cubital 3. La tige 10 est effilée et est conformée de manière à pouvoir être engagée dans le canal médullaire de l'humérus afin d'assurer l'ancrage de l'élément 2 à ce dernier. 25 Les deux parois latérales de la chape 11 sont percées des trous destinés à recevoir la broche 4 et présentent des formes arrondies, proches de celles des condyles naturels de l'humérus. Ces deux parois latérales comportent également, le long d'une partie de leurs bords périphériques d'extrémité, des parois arrondies 12 faisant saillie latéralement de l'élément 2, vers l'extérieur ; 30 comme cela apparaît sur la figure 3, ces parois arrondies 12 sont conformées pour venir envelopper les condyles naturels 101 de l'humérus 100 lors de la mise en place de la prothèse 1, après résection appropriée de ces condyles 101. Les deux parois latérales de la chape 11 délimitent en outre des faces extérieures planes 13 et comprennent des trous 14 débouchant dans ces faces 13.  FIGS. 1 and 2 show a prosthesis 1 for articulating the elbow, comprising a humeral element 2, a cubital element 3, a pin 4 making it possible to connect these elements 2 and 3 to one another and two lateral blocks 5 which can The humeral element 2 comprises a medullary anchoring rod 10 and forms, at its proximal portion, a clevis 11 intended to receive a corresponding head 21 that comprises the ulnar element 3. The 10 is tapered rod and is shaped so as to be engaged in the medullary canal of the humerus to ensure the anchoring of the element 2 to the latter. The two side walls of the yoke 11 are pierced with holes intended to receive the spindle 4 and have rounded shapes, close to those of the natural condyles of the humerus. These two side walls also comprise, along a portion of their peripheral end edges, rounded walls 12 projecting laterally from the element 2, towards the outside; 30 as shown in FIG. 3, these rounded walls 12 are shaped so as to envelop the natural condyles 101 of the humerus 100 during the placement of the prosthesis 1, after appropriate resection of these condyles 101. The two lateral walls of the yoke 11 further delimit flat outer faces 13 and comprise holes 14 opening into these faces 13.

L'élément cubital 3 comprend une tige médullaire d'ancrage 20 et la tête d'articulation 21 précitée. La tige 20 est conformée et est effilée de manière à pouvoir être engagée dans le canal médullaire du cubitus, afin de réaliser l'ancrage de l'élément 3 à ce 5 dernier. La tête d'articulation 21 est destinée à être engagée dans l'espace délimité par la chape 11 et comprend un alésage transversal destiné à être traversé par la broche 4. Cette dernière comprend une partie en forme de vis, pourvue d'une tête légèrement saillante radialement et une partie en forme d'écrou, également pourvue d'une tête saillante radialement, ces têtes étant destinées, lors du serrage de ladite partie en forme d'écrou sur ladite partie en forme de vis, à venir reposer contre les faces 13. Chaque bloc 5 est destiné, comme le montre la figure 2, à être monté latéralement sur la partie proximale de l'élément huméral 2. Il a une forme générale identique ou similaire à celle d'un condyle naturel 101 de l'humérus 100, ce bloc 5 permettant ainsi, en cas d'ablation d'un de ces condyles naturels, d'occuper substantiellement l'espace occupé précédemment par ce condyle, ainsi que le montre la figure 4. Chaque bloc 5 comprend une cavité 25 au niveau de sa partie destinée à se trouver, après implantation, du côté de l'humérus 100, cette cavité 25 étant destinée à recevoir un moignon osseux 102, préalablement découpé en conséquence. Chaque bloc 5 comprend également un évidement 26 au niveau de son bord périphérique, aménagé selon la forme interne de chaque paroi arrondie 12 correspondante, de telle sorte qu'après montage, il s'étend le long de cette paroi 12, à proximité immédiate de celle-ci. En outre, chaque bloc 5 comprend cieux plots 27 destinés à être engagés de manière ajustée dans les trous 14 correspondants, et comprend un alésage central 28 pourvu d'un épaulement au niveau de son côté destiné à venir contre la face 13, cet épaulement pouvant recevoir une tête saillante radialement que comprend la broche 4. Ainsi que cela se comprend en référence aux figures 1 et 2, l'élément cubital 3 est relié à l'élément huméral 2 par engagement de la tête 21 de l'élément 3 dans la chape 11 de l'élément 2 puis par engagement des parties vis et écrou de la broche 4 dans chacun des trous correspondants des parois latérales de la chape 11 et vissage de la partie formant la vis dans l'écrou.  The ulnar element 3 comprises a medullary anchoring rod 20 and the aforementioned articulation head 21. The rod 20 is shaped and is tapered so that it can be engaged in the medullary canal of the ulna, in order to anchor the element 3 to the latter. The hinge head 21 is intended to be engaged in the space delimited by the yoke 11 and comprises a transverse bore intended to be traversed by the spindle 4. The latter comprises a screw-shaped portion, provided with a head slightly projecting radially and a nut-shaped portion, also provided with a radially projecting head, these heads being intended, during the clamping of said nut-shaped portion on said screw-shaped portion, to rest against the faces 13. Each block 5 is intended, as shown in Figure 2, to be mounted laterally on the proximal portion of the humeral element 2. It has a general shape identical or similar to that of a natural condyle 101 of the humerus 100, this block 5 thus making it possible, in the case of ablation of one of these natural condyles, to occupy substantially the space previously occupied by this condyle, as shown in FIG. 4. Each block 5 comprises a cavity 25 at lvl water of its part intended to be, after implantation, the side of the humerus 100, this cavity 25 being intended to receive a bone stump 102, previously cut accordingly. Each block 5 also comprises a recess 26 at its peripheral edge, arranged according to the internal shape of each corresponding rounded wall 12, so that after mounting, it extends along the wall 12, in the immediate vicinity of it. In addition, each block 5 comprises two pads 27 intended to be fitly engaged in the corresponding holes 14, and comprises a central bore 28 provided with a shoulder at its side intended to come against the face 13, this shoulder being able to receive a radially projecting head that comprises the pin 4. As is understood with reference to Figures 1 and 2, the ulnar element 3 is connected to the humeral element 2 by engagement of the head 21 of the element 3 in the clevis 11 of the element 2 and then by engaging the screw and nut portions of the pin 4 in each of the corresponding holes of the side walls of the yoke 11 and screwing the portion forming the screw in the nut.

6 Comme le montre la figure 3, la prothèse 1 peut être utilisée sans les blocs 5 lorsque les deux condyles 101 peuvent être conservés (ou avec un seul bloc 5 lorsqu'un seul de ces deux condyles peut être conservé), la partie proximale 11 en forme de chape et les faces latérales planes 13 que celle-ci comprend rendant cette conservation possible. Les parois 12 viennent envelopper les condyles 101, après résection appropriée de ceux-ci, et permettent de former des condyles prothétiques adaptés à coopérer avec l'extrémité correspondante du cubitus. La figure 4 montre le cas d'une implantation de la prothèse 1 avec ablation des deux condyles naturels 101, l'élément huméral 2 recevant alors les deux blocs 5. Pour le montage de ces derniers, la broche 4 est retirée, puis chaque bloc 5 est positionné par rapport à l'élément 2, par engagement des plots 27 dans les trous 14. Ce positionnement permet d'amener les évidements 28 en regard des alésages de la partie proximale de l'élément huméral 2, puis la broche 4 est mise en place, par vissage de sa partie formant vis avec sa partie formant écrou, assurant ainsi le montage du ou des blocs 5 sur l'élément huméral 2. Dans cette position de montage, comme le montre la figure 2, la paroi périphérique de chaque bloc 5 vient dans le prolongement de la paroi périphérique de la partie proximale de l'élément 2, et chaque bloc 5 vient s'étendre à proximité immédiate de la face concave de la paroi 12 correspondante, grâce à l'évidement 26 qu'il comprend. En outre, les cavités 25 sont tournées dans une direction parallèle à celle dans laquelle s'étend la tige médullaire 10. Comme le montre la figure 4, lors du retrait des condyles 101, il a été aménagé sur l'humérus 100 des moignons 102 propres à être engagés étroitement dans ces cavités 25 au moment de la mise en place de la prothèse 1. Cette dernière permet, grâce aux blocs 5, de reformer des zones de formes assimilables à celles des condyles naturels, et donc de restituer l'aspect extérieur de l'articulation prothétique ; du fait de l'engagement des moignons 102 dans les cavités 25, la prothèse 1 est de plus parfaitement calée à l'égard d'un pivotement autour de l'axe longitudinal de l'humérus 100. En outre, le montage précité des blocs 5 est très rapide à réaliser, de sorte que la prothèse 1 est rapidement adaptable aux différentes situations pouvant se 7 présenter au cours de l'intervention chirurgicale, à savoir selon qu'il est possible ou non de conserver l'un des deux condyles ou les deux condyles. L'invention fournit par conséquent une prothèse d'articulation de coude remédiant de cette façon aux inconvénients des prothèses homologues selon la 5 technique antérieure. II va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle s'étend à toutes les formes de réalisations couvertes par les revendications ci-annexées.As shown in FIG. 3, the prosthesis 1 can be used without the blocks 5 when the two condyles 101 can be preserved (or with a single block 5 when only one of these two condyles can be preserved), the proximal part 11 clevis-shaped and the flat side faces 13 that it includes making this possible conservation. The walls 12 come to wrap the condyles 101, after appropriate resection thereof, and allow to form prosthetic condyles adapted to cooperate with the corresponding end of the ulna. FIG. 4 shows the case of implantation of the prosthesis 1 with removal of the two natural condyles 101, the humeral element 2 then receiving the two blocks 5. For the assembly of the latter, the pin 4 is removed, then each block 5 is positioned relative to the element 2, by engaging the studs 27 in the holes 14. This positioning makes it possible to bring the recesses 28 opposite the bores of the proximal portion of the humeral element 2, and then the pin 4 is placing, by screwing its screw portion with its nut portion, thus ensuring the assembly or blocks 5 on the humeral element 2. In this mounting position, as shown in Figure 2, the peripheral wall of each block 5 is in the extension of the peripheral wall of the proximal part of the element 2, and each block 5 extends in the immediate vicinity of the concave face of the corresponding wall 12, thanks to the recess 26 that He understands. In addition, the cavities 25 are turned in a direction parallel to that in which the medullary stem 10 extends. As shown in FIG. 4, during the removal of the condyles 101, it has been placed on the humerus 100 of the stumps 102. adapted to be tightly engaged in these cavities 25 at the time of the establishment of the prosthesis 1. The latter allows, thanks to the blocks 5, to reform zones of shapes comparable to those of the natural condyles, and therefore to restore the appearance outside the prosthetic joint; because of the engagement of the stubs 102 in the cavities 25, the prosthesis 1 is furthermore perfectly wedged with respect to a pivoting around the longitudinal axis of the humerus 100. In addition, the aforementioned assembly of the blocks 5 is very fast to achieve, so that the prosthesis 1 is quickly adaptable to the different situations that may occur during the surgical procedure, namely whether or not it is possible to retain one of the two condyles or the two condyles. The invention therefore provides a knee joint prosthesis thereby overcoming the disadvantages of the prior art homologous prostheses. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it extends to all embodiments covered by the appended claims.
