Description

椎间稳固系统
技术领域
本发明涉及一种用于至少三块椎骨的椎间稳固系统。
背景技术
由于脊柱的变形或变性改变,个别受损的不稳定脊柱节段可能必须通过手术加以稳固。
在此方面,受损脊柱节段的加强众所周知。通过这种局部脊柱的加强,椎间盘至少部分地被去除;在待加强的椎骨之间植入骨组织;而且待加强的椎骨通过螺钉和至少一个杆彼此刚性连接。然而,脊柱节段的加强使相邻椎骨随着脊柱的弯曲和伸展运动而比加强前承受更大应力。
作为选择,对于“较轻的病例”,特别是在椎间盘也出现问题之前,最近更多地使用一种植入物,该植入物在背部支撑受损的脊柱节段而不是对其进行加强,从而在较大范围内保持受损椎骨的活动性。因此,在固定于椎骨上的螺钉之间使用一种具有柔韧垫片的弹性带。该弹性带限制弯曲运动,而该垫片限制伸展运动。
发明内容
本发明的问题是提出一种前面提及类型的装置,该装置被设计成用于以使脊柱随弯曲和伸展运动承受尽可能小的应力的方式加强不稳定的脊柱节段,尤其用于防止进一步的手术或至少尽可能地延迟手术。
该问题的解决方案特别在于可紧固(或固定)于椎骨上的椎弓根螺钉(pedicle screw)、将至少两个椎弓根螺钉与一刚性加强系统相连的杆以及带,当拉动该带时,该带可被预加应力(或预受力),并且当植入稳固系统时,该带由至少一个可压缩的挤压体(pressure body)包围,该挤压体位于两个相邻的椎弓根螺钉之间,并用于将椎弓根螺钉与弹性支撑系统相连,其中,一公共椎弓根螺钉既与加强系统相关联,又与支撑系统相关联,所述带通过带紧固件与所述杆相连或可通过带紧固件与所述杆相连。
特别是,根据本发明的一个方面,提出一种用于至少三块椎骨的椎间稳固系统,包括:
-可紧固于椎骨上的第一、第二和第三椎弓根螺钉;
-在所述第一和第二椎弓根螺钉之间连接刚性加强系统的杆;以及
-带,当拉动该带时,该带可被预加应力,并且当植入所述稳固系统时,该带由至少一个可压缩的挤压体包围,所述挤压体位于两个相邻的椎弓根螺钉之间,以用于连接所述椎弓根螺钉,从而在所述第二椎弓根螺钉和所述第三椎弓根螺钉之间形成弹性支撑系统,
其中,所述第二椎弓根螺钉既与所述刚性加强系统相关联,又与所述弹性支撑系统相关联;
所述杆的端部具有空腔,所述带的端部通过所述杆的端部的开口插入所述空腔中并通过带紧固件与所述杆相连。
因此,本发明的特征在于,所述刚性加强系统将包括杆的已知现有技术与包括带和挤压体且同样由现有技术可知的弹性支撑系统结合。根据本发明,以前用作替代已知刚性加强系统的弹性支撑系统与刚性加强系统一起使用,以用于稳固不稳定的脊柱节段。
所述加强系统的杆被设计成用于加强包括至少两块椎骨的不稳定脊柱节段。当植入稳固系统时与所述杆相连以及当未植入稳固系统时与所述杆相连或可与所述杆相连的带用于支撑与加强脊柱节段相邻的至少一块椎骨。所述杆与带通过椎弓根螺钉紧固于待稳固椎骨上。
优选地,当实施稳固系统时,在位于受损椎骨销延伸部的左侧和右侧处设有至少两个加强系统、特别是两个杆,其中,优选地,所述两个加强系统彼此相连或可彼此相连。此外,可以设置多个支撑系统。特别是,对于每个系统或多个系统而言,可为加强系统设置连接在加强系统的一端的两个支撑系统。本质上,还可设置有多个加强系统和支撑系统,其在植入状态下交替地彼此相连。
在稳固系统的植入状态下,当拉动所述支撑系统的带时,该带被预加应力。另一方面,所述挤压体处于压缩状态,也就是说,该挤压体在压力下被预加应力。因此,所述杆和带通过带紧固件彼此相连,也就是说,所述带紧固件于所述杆上或反之亦然。公共椎弓根螺钉由刚性加强系统和弹性支撑系统同等地使用,其中在所述稳固系统的植入状态下,所述带与杆的连接通常设计在所述公共椎弓根螺钉上或所述公共椎弓根螺钉附近。如果带紧固件位于两个椎弓根螺钉的大约中间位置,两个椎弓根螺钉中的任意一个可以视为公共椎弓根螺钉。
通过在刚性加强系统后作为其延伸的弹性支撑系统,或通过位于刚性加强系统的两侧的弹性支撑系统,在通过加强系统彼此刚性连接的椎骨后的椎骨被支撑,因此这些相邻椎骨不会随脊柱的弯曲和伸展运动而受到增大的应力。
在说明书以及附图中还给出了本发明的有利实施例。
优选地,带紧固件被设计为夹紧装置,以用于夹紧所述带。通过设计为夹紧装置的带紧固件的夹紧力,可以保持带,该带以特别安全可靠的方式在稳固系统的植入状态下受到牵引。
优选地,所述带紧固件还包括所述杆的端部、分离部件和/或公共椎弓根螺钉。
附图说明
下面参考附图以示例方式对本发明进行说明,其中包括不同实施例,这些实施例的各特征可以彼此在有意义的程度上彼此进行任意组合,附图中:
图1-图7示出了根据本发明的稳固系统的带紧固件,该带紧固件包绕所述杆的端部;
图8-图10示出了根据本发明的稳固系统的带紧固件,该带紧固件包绕分离部件;以及
图11-图15示出了根据本发明的稳固系统的带紧固件,该带紧固件包绕公共椎弓根螺钉。
具体实施方式
下面描述的实施例仅仅示出了用于描述加强系统的杆与支撑系统的带之间的连接所需的稳固系统的一部分。本发明的不同实施例的相同部件或彼此对应的部件用相同的附图标记表示。
图1示出了具有刚性加强系统的刚性金属杆11的根据本发明第一实施例的稳固系统,所述刚性加强系统的其他方面未示出,其中,杆11具有端部13,端部13的直径大于杆11的中间部分15的直径。同时,被指示为头部13并可用作未示出的挤压体的止挡件的杆11的端部为带紧固件的至少一部分,并具有基本圆柱形中空空间17。其他方面未示出的弹性支撑系统的弹性带23(例如由塑料制成)的一端通过带进入开口19插入或可插入所述中空空间17中。
带紧固件还包括套筒状夹紧元件27,该夹紧元件27沿带23的端部21的插入方向25插入(图1c)或可插入(图1a)空腔17中,并在圆周方向上封闭;该夹紧元件被推至带23的端部21,并被设计成利用杆11的头部13将插入杆11的空腔17中的带23的端部21夹紧。该套筒状夹紧元件27还可以被指定为夹紧套筒或夹紧环。
夹紧套筒27被设计成当其未插入杆11的空腔17中时其外部呈锥形渐缩,其中,夹紧套筒27的壁厚向着具有较大外径的端部增大。根据图1d,沿圆周布置的突出部29向内指向,并使夹紧套筒27的内径收缩,该突出部29可设计在夹紧套筒27的具有较大外径的一端的内部。根据图1e,特别是,夹紧套筒27可在两个相反侧开口。本质上,夹紧套筒可具有突出部并且也可开口。
图1a至图1c示出了杆11与带23的连接。首先,通过使具有较大外径的圆锥形夹紧套筒27的一端面向带23的中部(图1a)的方式,将夹紧套筒27推至将插入空腔17或杆11中的带23的端部21上。然后,利用适宜的工具,沿插入方向25(图1b)将设有夹紧套筒25[原文如此;27]的带23的端部21压入杆11的头部13的空腔17中。
具有较大外径的夹紧套筒27的端部压在杆11的圆柱形空腔17的内径上,圆柱形空腔17的内径至少基本上对应于夹紧套筒27的另一端的较小外径。当组装时(图1c),夹紧套筒27的内径向着最初具有较大外径的一端减小,因为夹紧套筒27的壁厚在该方向上增大,也就是说,夹紧套筒27的通道限制在杆11的头部13的空腔17的带进入开口19的方向上,因此带23被有效夹紧。
带紧固件的夹紧力可以通过图1d所示的突出部29附加地加强。开口夹紧套筒27(图1e)的优点在于,当夹紧套筒27插入杆11的头部13的空腔17中时,为材料的变形提供了额外的空间,这样,压入过程在花费较小的力的情况下便可实施。
图2示出了根据本发明的第二实施例的稳固系统。与图1中的实施例相比,根据图2的带紧固件包括两个彼此支撑的夹紧套筒27、31。
与图1类似,通过使具有较大外径的圆锥形第一夹紧套筒27的一端面向带23的中部(图2a)的方式,将第一夹紧套筒27推至带23的端部21上,其中带23将插入根据图2a和图2b的实施例中的杆11的空腔17中。用作圆锥形压紧环的第二夹紧套筒31压入杆11的头部13的空腔17中(图2a),其中第二夹紧套筒31与第一夹紧套筒27关于垂直于插入方向25的平面呈镜像关系。为连接带23和杆11,第一夹紧套筒27沿插入方向25压入杆11的头部23的空腔17中,其中第一夹紧套筒27由第二夹紧套筒31支撑。第一夹紧套筒27以使带23有效夹紧于其内的方式变形(图2b)。本质上,也可设置多个锥形压紧环。
在根据图2c和图2d的实施例中,与根据图2a和图2b的实施例相比,两个夹紧套筒27、31交换了彼此的方位,其中,第一夹紧套筒27压紧于处于未插入状态的带23的端部21(图2c)上。当组装时,设有第一夹紧套筒27的带23的端部21沿插入方向25插入杆11的头部13的空腔17中。随后,第二夹紧套筒31沿插入方向压入所述空腔中(图2d)。
图3示出了根据本发明的第三实施例的稳固系统。
根据图3a至图3c的实施例的带紧固件包括夹紧销33,所述夹紧销33可横向于带23的端部21的插入方向25以压入配合方式插入空腔17中;所述销被设计成将所述带的端部与所述杆11的头部13夹紧,所述带的端部可插入杆11的空腔17中。穿过开口35插入空腔17中的夹紧销33的末端可以设计为圆形(图3a)或楔形(图3b),该末端相对于带23的纵向延伸部将径向压力作用于带23的插入端部21上。利用楔形夹紧销33,可在夹紧的带23上获得更大的接触压力。
与夹紧销33插入空腔17中所穿过的开口35径向相对,空腔17形成在限定空腔17的杆11的头部13的内部;压入的夹紧销33压紧进入所述中空空间中。由此产生的带23的偏离可以附加地增大带23上的夹紧力。为了便于带23的插入,设计为套筒39的插入辅助件可以粘附在将插入的带23的端部21上(图3a和图3b)。如图3c所示,可以设置一个、两个、三个或任何数目的夹紧销33、41、43。
在根据图3d的实施例中,带紧固件包括加压元件(pressure element),例如夹紧螺钉137,夹紧螺钉137可横向于插入方向25通过开口133插入杆11的头部13的空腔中,并被设计成用于将带23的端部21夹紧于杆11的头部13中。此外,设有比带进入开口19更深且与带进入开口19相对的带退出开口135,通过该带退出开口135,带23的端部21又可以向外移动或退出杆11的空腔之外。带23中未插入头部13的部分由挤压体75包围,挤压体75也可以被指定为衬垫。在组装状态下,杆11置于或可置于公共椎弓根螺钉67的凹槽139中,公共椎弓根螺钉67在其上端形成为音叉状,并且通过夹紧螺钉141,杆11紧固于或可紧固于公共椎弓根螺钉67上。然而,公共椎弓根螺钉67的上端也可以被设计为通道。
图4示出了根据本发明的第四实施例的稳固系统,其中,空腔17向着杆11的头部13的带进入开口19收缩。因此,通过杆11的头部13的再成形,该收缩或收缩部由插入空腔17的带23的端部21形成。通过该收缩部,带23被有效夹紧(图4b、图4f和图4h)。类似于图3,在根据图4的实施例中,也可以将套筒39用作带23的端部21的插入辅助件,如图4a和图4b所示。
在根据图4a和图4b的实施例中,杆11的头部13显示有凸出部45,该凸出部45沿与插入方向25相反的方向凸出,并沿杆11的圆周布置。例如,通过辊轧(图4c)或通过使用两个半壳(图4d),可以实现凸出部45从图4a所示的位置至其中凸出部45的方位旋转了90°的图4b所示的位置的再成形。
在根据图4e和图4f的实施例中,在再成形之前,杆11的头部13不具有凸出部。相反,当压入带23的插入端21的末端时,杆11的头部13形成带进入开口19的边界的区域以特别是向内压紧的方式利用冲头131变形,因此,空腔17向着杆11的头部13的带进入开口19收缩。
根据图4g和图4h的实施例的特征在于,在变形之前,杆11的头部13的外径以及头部13在空腔17区域中的相关壁厚沿着与带23的插入方向25相反的方向增大。通过杆11的头部13的再成形,压紧环47沿与插入方向25相反的方向移动,其中该压紧环47具有基本对应于杆11的中间部分15的外径的内径。因此,杆11的头部13压缩至压紧环47的内径,这样,由于头部13的厚度在该方向上增大,空腔17向着头部13的带进入开口18收缩。
图5示出了根据本发明的第五实施例的稳固系统,其中,带23与杆11的连接通过杆11的头部13的再成形实现。至少在再成形之前,杆11的头部13以及该头部13内的空腔17为球形,其中,所述带进入开口19的直径小于形成于头部13中的空腔17。因此,在再成形之前,空腔17已经向着带进入开口19收缩。
为了实现带23与杆11的连接,首先在带23的端部21上挤入环49(图5a),特别是锥形环49’。然后,将带23的具有环49、49’的头部插入杆11的头部13的空腔17内,在该空腔17内,杆11的头部13被压缩,因而环49、49’也被压缩,从而将带23有效地夹紧(图5b)。可以通过使环49’一端变细而附加地增大施加在带23上的压紧力。
图6示出了根据本发明的第六实施例的稳固系统。根据图6的实施例本质上与根据图1的实施例相同,其区别在于,所述带紧固件还包括特别是由金属或塑料制成的嵌入件51,该嵌入件51插进带23的端部21中,特别在中心插进,带23的端部21可插入(图6a)或插入(图6b)杆11的空腔中,嵌入件51沿带23的插入方向25延伸。
嵌入件51被设计为销形,并包括头部53和轴55,其中,头部53的直径大于轴55的直径。头部53从带23的端部21部分突出。利用嵌入件51,可以增大施加在夹紧带23上的压紧压力,从而可以增大由所述带紧固件产生的所述带23和杆11之间连接的保持力。
图7示出了根据本发明的第七实施例的稳固系统。在图7中,带23被扩宽,以形成大量的力承受部(strength carrier),特别是带23的纤维,而且通过插入件57,将带23可以压入(图7b)或压入(图7c)杆11的头部13的空腔17中。为了实现扩宽,可以使用刷子工具59(图7a)向上刷拭带23的端部21。
为了压入,图7中设计为环状插入件的插入件57以螺纹方式拧接在带23上,并插入头部13的空腔17中,这样,在所有朝向插入方向25径向伸出的各纤维夹紧在环状插入件57的前侧面和空腔17的边界之间。为了增大带23和杆11之间的这种连接的保持力,可以设置居中定位的长钉61和凸耳63(图7d),长钉61沿插入方向25的相反方向突出至空腔17中,凸耳63围绕长钉61布置且沿插入方向25的相反方向突出至空腔17中。
根据本发明的未图示的第八实施例,所述带可插入空腔的端部可以特别是通过胶水或粘合剂粘住。这样,带的纤维彼此结合在一起,从而防止各纤维彼此之间的滑动,而且可以获得所述带和杆之间的连接的更大保持力。
根据本发明的未图示的第九实施例,所述带可插入或插入所述空腔中的端部通过熔融、模制成型以及随后的硬化而形成。特别是,其形状可以设计为在硬化或固化后所述带的端部呈钩状。
图8示出了根据本发明的第十实施例的稳固系统,其中,所述带紧固件包括分离部件65,其中,杆11紧固于或可紧固于所述带紧固件上,也就是说,特别是紧固于分离部件65上,也可紧固于公共椎弓根螺钉67上。特别是,分离部件65没有或不能直接紧固于公共椎弓根螺钉67上。
图8a和图8b示出了植入时的稳固系统。杆11连接包括公共椎弓根螺钉67的两个椎弓根螺钉67、69,每个椎弓根螺钉紧固在脊柱的椎骨上,以形成刚性加强系统。拉动时被预加应力的带23连接包括公共椎弓根螺钉67的三个椎弓根螺钉67、71、73,其中,椎弓根螺钉71、73中的每一个也紧固于椎骨上,以形成弹性支撑系统。压缩的挤压体75、77位于椎弓根螺钉67和71之间,并位于椎弓根螺钉71和73之间;它们沿圆周方向完全包围带23。公共椎弓根螺钉67与所述刚性加强系统相互关联,也与所述支撑系统相互关联。
带23和杆11通过分离部件65彼此相连。分离部件65基本上垂直于带23的纵向伸展方向而延伸,或垂直于杆11的纵向伸展方向而延伸,带23和杆11基本上彼此平行且中间/侧向交错延伸,而至少在根据图1至图7的实施例中,所述带的纵向延伸部和所述杆的纵向延伸部彼此平行,至少没有中间/侧向交错。根据图8,分离部件65相对于公共椎弓根螺钉67既可以位于支撑系统侧(图8a),也可以位于加强系统侧(图8b)。

分离部件65的其他实施例图示在图8g和图8h中,其以透视图(图8g)或顶视图或侧视图(图8h)示出。特别是,显然,在以一定角度构造的单件式分离部件65或多部分的分离部件65中,该分离部件65的各部分的彼此相对位置可以通过线性位移进行变化。

在根据图9a和图9b的实施例中,分离部件65具有中心通道101,该中心通道101被设置用于使分离部件65紧固于公共椎弓根螺钉上。此外,在分离部件65中垂直于中心通道101延伸并彼此平行的两个通道或通路79、81被设计用于所述带和杆的紧固。为夹紧杆,设有开口89,未示出的夹紧螺钉可插入开口89中。通道79为狭缝,并可以通过公共椎弓根螺钉收缩限制,这样该杆可以被有效地夹紧。
图10示出了根据本发明的第十二实施例的稳固系统,其中,所述带紧固件包括分离部件65,其中,所述带紧固件和杆紧固于或可紧固于公共椎弓根螺钉67上。特别是,所述杆11未直接紧固于或不能直接紧固于所述分离部件65上。
