Description
POSTERIOR FIXATION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to orthopedic implants used for correction of spinal injuries or deformities, and more specifically, but not exclusively, concerns apparatuses for fixing a portion of the spine, such as the cervical spine, to allow correction or healing thereof.
In the realm of orthopedic surgery, it is well known to use implants to fix the position of bones. In this way, the healing of a broken bone can be promoted, and malformations or other injuries can be corrected. For example, in the field of spinal surgery, it is well known to place such implants into vertebrae for a number of reasons, including (a) correcting an abnormal curvature of the spine, including a scoliotic curvature, (b) to maintain appropriate spacing and provide support to broken or otherwise injured vertebrae, and (c) perform other therapies on the spinal column. Typical implant systems include several pieces, which commonly are useful and may be associated with only specific other pieces. Bone screws, hooks, and clamps are well know as fixation devices, which are connected or adjoined to a particular bone as a connection between the remainder of the implant and the bone. Specially formed plates or rods are commonly used as stabilization and support members. Thus, in a common spinal implant system, a spinal plate is implanted along one or more vertebrae by driving a bone screw through the plate and into each of two vertebrae. The vertebrae are thus supported and kept in a particular position by the plate, so as to promote healing. One example of such an instrumentation system is U.S. Patent No. 5,735,853 to Olerud. Alternatively, a rod can be used as the support and stabilizing member. In such an implant, a series of two or more screws are inserted into two or more vertebrae to be instrumented. A rod is then placed within or coupled to the heads of the screws, or is placed within a connecting device that links the rod and a screw head, and the connections are tightened. In this way, a rigid supporting structure is fixed to the vertebrae, with the rod providing the support that promotes correction of the vertebral malformation or injury.
Many varieties of bone fixation devices (e.g. screws and hooks) are monoaxial in construction. That is, such devices are connected to the rod or plate such that a longitudinal axis through the rod or plate and a longitudinal axis through the fixation device are capable of only a single position with respect to each other. While useful in certain circumstances, in many therapeutic situations the degree of precision required to use such an inflexible device is impractical, or can lead to a longer duration of surgery, potentially awkward angles for the surgeon and for the patient, with the potential for attendant complications such as pain and/or extended rehabilitation. More recently, bone fixation devices having multi-axial capability have been introduced. Examples of such constructs are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,797,911, 5,954,725, and 5,810,818. These devices help to reduce the required precision of placement of the fixation device, since a head portion of the fixation device is multi-axially positionable around the bone-threaded or hook portion. The head can thus be positioned so as to easily receive the rod, limiting or removing much of the positioning difficulty inherent in prior devices.
Most such devices are designed for spinal fixation at the thoracic and lumbar levels. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a comprehensive multi- axial spinal implant system, and particularly one that is useful in the cervical region of the spine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One form of the present invention is a unique multi-axial bone attachment assembly. Other forms concern a unique spinal implant system, a unique orthopedic fixation plate, a unique cross-link connector, and another unique multi- axial bone attachment assembly.
A further form of the present invention is directed to a unique multi-axial bone attachment assembly that includes a saddle member, a bone anchoring member, and a washer (crown member). The saddle member has a plurality of upright portions that define a channel through the saddle member. The saddle member further has a hole therethrough bounded by an inner wall, and the hole forms a lower opening in the saddle member. The bone-anchoring member extends through the opening. The bone-anchoring member includes a head portion and an anchoring portion. The washer has a recessed portion for accommodating an orthopedic rod and may include a radially extending projection. The washer is fitted within the hole of the saddle member and atop the bone-anchoring member. Yet another form concerns a unique spinal implant system. A saddle member has a plurality of upright portions that define a channel through the saddle member. The saddle member further has a transverse hole defined through the upright portions that is transverse with respect to the channel. A bone-anchoring member is coupled to the saddle member for anchoring the saddle member to bone. An offset member is adapted to couple to an orthopedic rod, and the offset member has a coupling member and a body adapted to couple to the rod. The coupling member extends from the body and through the transverse hole of the upright members. Another form is directed to a unique cross-shaped orthopedic plate. The plate includes a cross-shaped member. The cross-shaped member has a longitudinal axis connecting first and second longitudinal ends and a transverse axis connecting first and second transverse ends. The cross-shaped member has a plurality of apertures therethrough. At least one saddle member is attached to the cross-shaped member, and the saddle member has a plurality of upright portions that define a channel through the saddle member.
A further form concerns a unique cross-link connector. The connector includes a plurality of coupling ends each adapted to couple to an orthopedic rod. A cylindrical member is integrally connected to the coupling ends. The cylindrical member has a cylindrical shape for permitting multi-axial bending of the cylindrical member.
Still yet another form is directed to a unique multi-axial bone attachment assembly. A saddle member has a plurality of upright portions that define a channel through the saddle member. The saddle member further has a hole therethrough bounded by an inner wall, and the hole forms a lower opening in the saddle member. A bone-anchoring member extends through the opening. The bone-anchoring member includes a coupling portion provided in the hole for permitting multi-axial movement of the anchoring member and an anchoring portion. An expansion member is coupled to the anchoring member for expanding the coupling portion in order to lock the anchoring member into position. The present invention provides a modular fixation system that allows a surgeon multiple treatment options for patients, allowing the surgeon to adapt the treatment to specific patient anatomy. The concepts surrounding the present invention are specifically designed for cervical vertebral fixation, but could be extended to include thoracic, lumbar and sacral fixation. Other advantages and objects of the present invention will be evident in view of the following specification and drawings.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, such alterations and further modifications in the illustrated device, and such further applications of the principles of the invention as illustrated therein, being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates. In FIG. 1, there is shown an embodiment of a multi-axial bone anchor assembly 20 according to the present invention. Bone anchor assembly 20 includes a saddle member 22, a bone anchoring member 24, and a washer (crown member) 26. In some embodiments, assembly 20 will further include a C-shaped snap ring 28 and a set screw 30, which are fitted with saddle member 22 as will be described hereafter.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, saddle member 22 generally has a U-shape, with two upright portions 32 defining a channel 34 extending through saddle member 22. Channel 34 is then configured to accommodate an elongated member 36, such as a spinal rod. For posterior cervical fixation, rod 36 may have one of a number of desired lengths. As seen in FIG. 1, the width of channel 34 is slightly larger than the diameter of rod 36, which allows easier insertion of rod 36 into channel 34, also allows for compensation for contouring of the rod, and allows use of a range of rod sizes with the same saddle member 22. Saddle member 22 further includes a hole 38 therethrough, hole 38 being in one particular embodiment substantially perpendicular to channel 34 and substantially parallel to upright portions 32.
In a particular embodiment of saddle member 22, illustrated in FIGS. 2-5, upright portions 32 each have an outer surface 40 and an inner surface 42. Inner surfaces 42 are parallel to hole 38, along a longitudinal axis of saddle member 22. Outer surfaces 40 are angled with respect to inner surfaces 42 and the longitudinal axis of saddle member 22. In one specific embodiment, outer surfaces 40 have an inward taper 43, which taper allows for easier handling of the saddle member 22
and reduced bulk of saddle member 22. Near the bottom of saddle member 22, hole 38 is narrowed by a wall portion 44. Below wall portion 44, hole 38 opens outward by virtue of a conical wall portion 46. Conical wall portion 46 allows bone anchor member 24 to be positioned in any of an infinite number of angular positions relative to saddle member 22 by reducing interference of the lower portion of saddle member 22 with a shank portion of bone anchor member 24.
The illustrated embodiment of saddle member 22 further includes an inner groove 48 that extends around hole 38. Groove 48 is configured to accommodate snap ring 28 in a compressed condition, i.e., the outer diameter of groove 48 is at least slightly smaller than the normal uncompressed outer diameter of snap ring 28. The illustrated embodiment of saddle assembly 22 further includes a trough 50 extending longitudinally within each of upright portions 32. Trough 50 accommodates placement of washer 26, as further described below, and may have a rounded (e.g. cylindrical), squared, or other appropriate shape to accommodate washer 26. Upright portions 32 further include an internally threaded portion 52, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. Internally threaded portions 52 are configured to be threadedly coupled with set screw 30, as described hereafter.
As shown in FIGS. 6-8, one embodiment of the bone anchor member 24 of the present invention has a threaded portion 56 and a head portion 58. In a specific embodiment, threaded portion 56 includes a thread 60 having a forward or leading flank 62 and a rearward or load flank 64 and a root surface 66, in which load flank 64 and root surface 66 form an acute angle. Such an acute angle between load flank 64 and root surface 66 may be termed a "reverse angle" thread.
Head portion 58 of bone anchor member 24 includes a lower head portion 68 and an upper head portion 70. Lower head portion 68 is generally convex, and in one embodiment forms part of a sphere. In the illustrated embodiment, the lower head portion 68 extends from a shank portion 72 in a direction away from threaded portion 56, and stops at/or before a tangent to lower head portion 68 would be parallel to a longitudinal axis L of bone anchor member 24. Upper head portion 70 is also generally convex, and forms a part of a sphere in the illustrated embodiment. Upper head portion 70 is diametrally smaller than lower head portion 68 and head portions 68 and 70 are connected by a lip 74. A tool-engaging
recess 76 is formed in upper head portion 70, and may extend into lower head portion 68. In another embodiment shown in FIG. 53, head portion 58a of bone anchor member 24a does not have a lip 74.
Referring now to FIGS. 9-11, there is shown an embodiment of washer 26 of the present invention. Washer 26 includes an upper portion 80, a lower portion 82, and a hole 84 therethrough. Upper portion 80 and lower portion 82 may be constructed integrally or may be separately constructed and attached together in any known manner. An upper surface 86 of upper portion 80 includes recessed portions 88 in the illustrated embodiment, which recessed portions 88 form a part of a cylinder sized and configured to accommodate placement of an elongated member (such as rod 36 of FIG. 1) therein. Lower portion 82 further includes an upper surface 83 that faces snap ring 28.
Referring now to FIG. 11, washer 26 has a hole 84 provided through both upper portion 80 and lower portion 82. Hole 84 includes a lower concave surface 96 and a cylindrical surface 98. Concave surface 96 in one specific embodiment has a spherical shape so as to substantially coincide with a portion of upper head portion 70 of anchoring member 24. Lower portion 82 is generally in the shape of a circular disc, and includes two projections 90 extending radially therefrom. Projections 20 in conjunction with troughs 50 align recessed portions 88 of washer 26 with channel 34 and prevent rotation of washer 26 so as to minimize misalignment between rod 36 and recessed portions 88.
In one embodiment, shown in FIGS. 9-10, projections 90 each include two substantially planar side surfaces 92, and an end surface 94 that is rounded and may form a portion of a cylinder. Projections 90 are sized and shaped so as to fit and slide easily within the troughs 50 upright portions 32 of saddle member 22. In another embodiment illustrated in FIG. 12, projections 90a each include a rounded end surface 100.
Multi-axial bone anchor assembly 20 can further include a set screw 30. As illustrated in FIGS. 13-16, set screw 30 is generally cylindrical and has external threads 102. External threads 102, in one embodiment, are buttress threads. In another embodiment, threads 102 could be reverse angle threads so as to minimize splaying between the two upright members 32. An example of such reverse angle
threading is disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 09/188,825, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Set screw 30, in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 13-14, has at one end a tool-engaging portion 104. Tool-engaging portion 104 has a rounded end surface 106 and substantially planar tool-engaging surfaces 108. Since end surface 106 is rounded, internal trauma to a patient can be reduced. Tool-engaging surfaces 108, in one embodiment, are oriented in a hexagonal configuration. Once set screw 30 is secured to saddle member 22, tool engaging portion 104 can be sheared off or otherwise removed so as to further reduce the profile of assembly 20. As illustrated in FIGS. 15-16, another embodiment of set screw 30a includes a substantially flat end surface 110 in order to minimize the profile of assembly 20. Set screw 30a further includes a tool-engaging bore 112. Tool-engaging bore 112 is used in conjunction with a tool for introducing set screw 30a into saddle member 22. In certain embodiments, multi-axial bone anchor assembly 20 mcludes snap ring 28 in order to secure washer 20 against anchoring member 24. One embodiment of such a snap ring 28 is shown in FIGS. 17-18. Snap ring 28 has a central opening 114 and a compression slot 116 defined therein. Snap ring 28 further has a first surface 118, an opposite second surface 120, an inner lateral surface 122 defining opening 114, and an outer lateral surface 124. Compression slot 116 allows snap ring 28 to compress and fit into inner groove 48 of saddle member 22. The diameter of the entrance of groove 48 is at least slightly smaller than the outer diameter 126 of an uncompressed snap ring 28. Opening 114 of snap ring 28 has an inner diameter, which allows snap ring 28 to fit around upper portion 80 of washer 26. One of the surfaces 118 and 120 engage the upper surface 83 of lower portion 82 in order to secure washer 26. Snap ring 28 can have a square cross-section, as shown in FIG. 1, or a circular or other appropriate shape cross-section, and in one particular embodiment is made of a shape memory alloy such as nitinol. Another embodiment of snap ring 28' is illustrated in FIG 17a. Snap ring
28' is non-planar, and in one embodiment has a series of undulations forming relative crests 129a and relative troughs 129b therein. Alternatively, non-planar
snap ring 28' could have other curved configurations, or could have extending finger-spring elements along it. When assembly 20 (or assembly 262 described below) is assembled, non-planar snap ring 28' allows less play between saddle member 22, anchoring member 24 and washer 26 (or similar parts of assembly 262, described below) because non-planar snap-ring 28' fills a greater portion of groove 48 of saddle member 22.
An embodiment of an orthopedic fixation plate 130 according to the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 19-23. In one form, orthopedic plate 130 is secured to the occipital bone of a skull. However, it should be appreciated that plate 130 can be secured to other bones. Orthopedic plate 130 includes a cross- shaped member 132 having a first longitudinal arm (end) 134 to a second longitudinal arm (end) 136 along a longitudinal axis. Cross-shaped member 132 further has a first transverse arm (end) 138 and a second transverse arm (end) 140 connected together along an axis transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis. Orthopedic plate 130 further includes a pair of saddle members 22a integrally formed on or joined to longitudinal arms 134 and 136. It should be appreciated that saddle members 22 can also be pivotally coupled to cross-shaped member 132 so as to provide greater positioning freedom. As illustrated in FIG. 22, saddle members 22a each include a pair of upright members 32a and a channel 34a defined between upright members 32a. Upright members 32a include threaded portions 52a configured to be threadedly coupled to a set screw 30 in a manner as described above.
Orthopedic plate 130, in one embodiment, includes a set of apertures 142. Bone anchors 24b (FIG. 6a) are secured in apertures 142 in order to secure plate 130 to the occipital bone of the skull. As shown in FIG. 6a, anchor 24b includes a head portion 58b having a convex underside 59a, which may be spherical, and a beveled top 59b around a tool-engaging recess 59c. Apertures 142 shown in FIGS. 19-23 for the particular embodiment are provided on both the longitudinal arms 134, 136 and the transverse arms 138, 140 in a cross configuration in order to provide greater stability. As shown in FIG. 23, aperture 142 includes a lower conical portion 144 and an upper conical portion 146. Lower conical portion 144 widens towards a lower surface 148 of orthopedic plate 130, and upper conical
portion 146 widens towards an upper surface 150 of orthopedic plate 130. Upper and lower conical portions 144,146 allow a bone screw to be easily positioned at varying angular positions relative to orthopedic plate 130. In one embodiment, opposing walls of lower conical portion 146 are oriented at about sixty degrees (60°) with respect to one another, and opposing walls of upper conical portion 146 are oriented at about forty-five degrees (45°) with respect to one another. Cross member 130 further includes a beveled outer peripheral surface 152 between lower surface 148 and upper surface 150.
In one particular embodiment, cross member 132 is curved along the longitudinal axis between longitudinal arms 134 and 136, and is also slightly curved along the transverse axis. This curvature of cross member 132 allows orthopedic plate 130 to better match the contour of the occipital bone of the skull. It should be understood that cross member 132 can also be curved along only one of the axes or substantially flat along both axes or can be otherwise contoured prior to or during surgery in order to match specific patient anatomy.
In FIG. 24, there is shown another embodiment of a multi-axial bone anchor assembly 160 according to the present invention. Anchor assembly includes a saddle member 162 and an offset connector 164 coupled to saddle member 162. As shown in FIGS. 25-26, saddle member 162 essentially includes the same features as described above in reference to saddle member 22. Saddle member 162 includes two upright portions 32b defining channel 34b. Channel 34b is configured to accommodate an elongated member 36b. Upright portions 32b each has outer surface 40b that is angled with respect to inner surface 42b. Upright portions 32b further include an internally threaded portion 52b. Internally threaded portions 52b are configured to be threadedly coupled with set screw 30.
Additionally, saddle member 162 includes a transverse hole 166 defined in both upright portions 32b. Transverse hole 166 is oriented transverse with respect to channel 34b, and transverse hole 166 is adapted to receive a rod (such as rod 36 in FIG. 1) or offset connector 164. This configuration between channel 34b and transverse hole 166 provides a physician with greater flexibility during surgery, since offset connector 164 can be oriented at different angles with respect to saddle member 162. Offset connector 164 further can be laterally positioned at any of an
infinite number of distances from saddle member 162, because transverse hole 166 passes through both upright portions 32. Further, saddle member 162 is dually useful, because a rod (such as rod 36 in FIG. 1) or offset connector 164 can be coupled to either channel 34b or transverse hole 166. Saddle member 162, in one embodiment, further includes a hook member
168 for engaging bones in a generally known manner. Hook member 168 has a curved portion 170 extending from upright portions 32 and a substantially straight portion 172 extending from curved portion 170. Straight portion 174 has a beveled bottom surface 174, which reduces trauma when hook member 168 is attached. It should be appreciated that hook member 168 could be replaced with another anchoring member, such as anchoring members 24 or 24a (FIGS. 6, 53) in order to attach saddle member 162 to a bone.
Referring now generally to FIGS. 27-32, offset connector 164 includes a coupling member 176 integrally formed or otherwise joined to a body 178. In one form, coupling member 176 is a cylindrical rod. Body 178 has a rod receiving bore 180 that is adapted to receive rod 36 and a threaded bore 182 that intersects rod receiving bore 180. A set screw 30 is screwed into threaded bore 182 in order to secure rod 36 to offset connector 164. Body 178 further can include a beveled outer edge 184 (FIG. 27) in order to minimize trauma to a patient. In another embodiment shown in FIGS. 28-32, rod receiving bore 180 has a slot 186 defined therein. Edges 187 are formed between slot 186 and rod receiving bore 180. Edges 187 along with set screw 30 provide three lines of contact with a rod 36 coupled to offset connector 164 so as to strengthen the connection. In still yet another embodiment shown in FIG. 28a, offset connector 164a has a pair of upright portions 32c defining a channel 34c adapted to receive a rod. Upright portions 32c have internally threaded portions 52c for engaging a set screw 30.
Referring now to FIG. 27, offset connector 164 is coupled to saddle member 162 by inserting coupling member 176 in direction A into transverse hole 166. Set screw 30 is used to secure coupling member 176 to saddle 160. Offset connector 164 can be laterally positioned with respect to saddle member 162 by moving coupling member 176 within transverse hole 166.
An offset connector 188 along with a set screw 189 according to still yet another embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIGS. 33-39. As shown in FIGS. 33-36, offset connector 188 includes a coupling member 176, and a pair of laterally oriented body members 190 and 192. A channel 194 is defined between body members 190 and 192, and channel 194 is adapted to receive rod 36. One of the body members 192 is slightly longer than the other and has a threaded bore 196 defined therein. Set screw 189 is threaded into bore 196 so as to secure rod R to offset connector 188. As illustrated in FIGS. 37-39, set screw 189 is generally cylindrical and has threads 198. Set screw 189 further has a tool engaging bore defined in one end and a pointed tip 202 at the other end. Pointed tip 202 engages rod 36 when rod 36 is coupled to offset connector 188.
A cross-link connector 204 according to one embodiment, which is illustrated in FIGS. 40-42, is adapted to be bent about multiple axes. Cross-link connector 204 has a pair of coupling ends 206 integrally connected together with a cylindrical member 208. The cylindrical shape of cylindrical member 208 allows cross-link connector 204 to be bent in any of an infinite number of directions. In one particular embodiment shown in FIG. 43, cylindrical member 208a is preformed with an arch so as to avoid any obstructions between the two ends 206. Each coupling end 206 includes a threaded bore 210 with an opening 211 in which a set screw 30 is threaded and a curved member 212 that defines a cavity 214 adapted to receive rod R. Opening 215 of cavity 214 is defined in a side of crosslink connector 204 opposite opening 211 of threaded bore 210. This configuration allows cross-link connector 204 to be secured to adjacent rods after the adjacent rods are situated within the patient. In one embodiment, threaded bore 210 is positioned at about fifty-five degrees (55°) relative to a longitudinal axis that extends between the ends 206. Cross-link connectors are used to link adjacent rods within a patient. An obstruction (such as another rod or bone) may prevent a typical cross-link connector from linking adjacent rods together. The cross-link connector 204 of the present invention solves this problem by being adapted to bend along multiple axes.
