Prosthesis and prosthesis system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a prosthesis and a prosthesis system.
Background
The early amputation treatment of children with tumors, especially the distal-femoral and proximal-tibial osteosarcomas with high incidence rate, is slowly replaced by limb protection treatment, an endoprosthesis is required to be installed after the tumor is removed by an operation of the children, and the traditional limb protection treatment means mainly comprise autologous bone transplantation, allogeneic bone transplantation and common prosthesis replacement. However, as the child grows, the healthy limb of the child grows longer along with the body, and the prosthesis implanted side cannot grow normally due to the damaged epiphysis, which causes the problem that the limbs of the child are not long enough. This not only gives the patient an unsightly appearance, but also brings inconvenience to the life of the patient, and can cause a series of complications such as pelvic tilt, scoliosis, joint damage caused by abnormal stress, and the like.
In order to solve the problem of unequal lengths of the limbs of children after limb protection, the conventional extensible prostheses are divided into two types: the prosthesis is an invasive and extensible prosthesis, although the prosthesis can be extended, the designed extension mechanism can be completed only by performing secondary operations, if the prosthesis is exposed by the operations, the prosthesis with the internal structural formula is twisted by a special tool, the prosthesis needs to be extended by repeated operations, the postoperative complications of the infant are increased, time and labor are wasted, and the economic burden is increased. Another type of prosthesis is an automatic extendable prosthesis, such as a prosthesis with an internal power supply and an external power supply, which has a complex design structure, a high failure rate, a limited service life and an uncertain extension length, and the connection of the internal and external power supplies through subcutaneous tissue can cause some complications.
Therefore, there is a need to design a safe and non-invasive, extendable prosthesis and prosthesis system.

Detailed Description
The prosthesis and the prosthesis system according to the invention are described in further detail below with reference to the figures and the embodiments. Advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and from the claims. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention.
The term "distal" as used herein refers to the side of the prosthesis adjacent to the direction of extension; accordingly, "proximal" is the side opposite "distal" from "proximal" to "distal".
The core idea of the invention is to provide a prosthesis and a prosthesis system to solve the problem that the existing prosthesis is not safe after being lengthened.
In order to realize the idea, the invention provides a prosthesis and a prosthesis system, wherein the prosthesis comprises a shell, a limiting column, an extending column, a limiting rotation piece and an elastic piece, wherein: the housing having a first open end at a distal end and a first closed end at a proximal end; the limiting column is accommodated in the shell and is configured to at least keep axial relative rest with the shell; the extension column is accommodated in the limit column and extends towards the far end of the shell, the extension column comprises a body and at least one boss positioned at the near end of the body, and the boss extends outwards along the radial direction of the body and extends into the limit column; the rotation limiting piece is accommodated in the shell and is used for limiting the rotation of the extending column; the elastic piece is used for providing elastic force for the extension column so that the extension column moves towards the far end of the shell; when an alternating magnetic field is applied to the outer side of the shell, the boss of the extension column generates heat, so that the position of the limiting column in contact with the boss is melted, and the elastic part pushes the extension column to move along the axial direction of the limiting column and towards the far end of the shell.
In the prosthesis and the prosthesis system provided by the invention, an alternating magnetic field is arranged outside the shell, namely outside the human body, the alternating magnetic field is formed by an alternating magnetic field generating device, the alternating magnetic field generating device is a trigger for extending the prosthesis, the alternating magnetic field forms vortex on the boss part of the extending column, and the heat generated by the vortex melts the part of the limiting column, which is contacted with the boss, so that the elastic part 30 pushes the extending column to move to the far end of the shell along the axial direction of the limiting column, namely to extend to the outside of the prosthesis, the extension process is stable and controllable, the extension process is pushed only by internal spring force, no operation is needed, the prosthesis is harmless to the human body, and the design structure is simple.
The following embodiment is a prosthesis for lengthening a femur, but does not mean that the prosthesis of the present invention is applicable only to a prosthesis for lengthening a femur, and may be applied to a prosthesis for lengthening a tibia, a prosthesis for lengthening an ulna, and the like. As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a prosthesis including a housing 10, a position limiting column 21, an extending column 22, a rotation limiting column 24, and an elastic member 30. Wherein: the distal end of the housing 10 has a first opening, and the proximal end has a first closed end; the limiting column 21 is accommodated in the shell 10 and configured to at least keep axially relative static with the shell, and the limiting column 21 is used for limiting the extending column 22; the limit column 21 is a hollow columnar structure, the extension column 22 is accommodated in the limit column 21 and extends towards the outside of the far end of the shell, the extension column comprises a body and at least one boss positioned at the near end of the body, the boss extends outwards along the radial direction of the body and extends into the limit column 21, the extension column 22 is an extensible part relative to the shell 10, and the limit of the limit column 21 is released by utilizing the heat of the boss part so as to realize extension; the rotation limiting piece is accommodated in the shell and is used for limiting the rotation of the extending column; the elastic component 30 provides elastic force for the extension column, when the outer side of the shell 10 has an alternating magnetic field, the boss of the limit column 21 and the joint of the extension column 22 are melted, so that the elastic component 30 pushes the extension column 22 to move along the axial direction of the limit column at the far end of the shell. The housing 10 is the portion of the femoral box in an extendable femoral prosthesis, and the first closed end of the housing 10 is formed as a femoral joint in this embodiment, and is coupled to the tibial joint 70. The extension post is connected to the femoral insertion segment 60 and when extended, can drive the change in length of the femur.
Specifically, in the prosthesis, the extension column 22 includes a body and a boss 221 located at a proximal end of the body, where the boss 221 is a contact portion between the limiting column 21 and the extension column 22, and is a key point for limiting the extension column 22 by the limiting column 21. Viewed from the perspective shown in fig. 1, the boss extends radially outward from the body and into the retention post. It should be understood that "radially extending" herein should not be construed in a narrow sense as the boss extends only in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the body, but should be construed in a broad sense as the boss does not extend in the axial direction. In addition, in order to melt the contact portion between the position-limiting post 21 and the boss 221, the boss 221 can move smoothly to reach the target position, and at the same time, there is sufficient contact between the position-limiting post 21 and the boss 221 to realize the supporting function of the position-limiting post 1 on the boss 221 part and share the pressure of the elastic member 30, and the boss 221 is designed to be triangular, preferably right-angled triangular. From the perspective shown in fig. 2, in order to make the heat generation and the stress of the projection 221 uniform under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the cross-sectional shape of at least a portion of the projection 221 is preferably circular, but not limited to circular, as long as the shape curve of the projection profile is a curve with continuous second derivative. In addition, in order to make the extension post 22 move, the spacing post 21 can not hinder its removal, remove the boss with spacing post 21 is connected, the outer wall of extension post 22 body with the inner wall of spacing post 21 is clearance fit.
Further, as shown in fig. 1, in the prosthesis, the outer wall surface of the body of the extension column 22 near the boss 221 is provided with a plurality of grooves 222 extending along the axial direction of the extension column 22, so that under the action of an external alternating magnetic field, the boss 221 part generates heat rapidly, the grooves 222 cannot generate eddy current because part of or the whole loop through which the magnetic field passes is cut off, and therefore no heat is generated, and the generated heat is concentrated on the boss part, which plays a role in protecting the rest part of the extension column 22 and even the prosthesis. Preferably, the grooves 222 are axially uniformly arranged on the body. The extending column 22 is a hollow cylinder, and the groove 222 is a hollow structure. The number of grooves 222 and the size of the grooves 222 affect the effect of the targeted heating and the strength of the column extension 22, and the mechanical properties of the column extension 22 are affected by too many grooves 222 and too long axial distance. Therefore, the number and axial distance of the grooves 222 depend on the material of the extension column 22 and the thermal effect of the boss heating.
Further, in the prosthesis, the limiting column 21 is made of resin, and the melt volume flow rate (MVR) of the resin is 20-50 cm310min (test standard ISO1133), with an elastic modulus of 2500-. Preferably, the resin is polyacetal resin (polyacetal), polyethylene resin (polyethylene resin), and more preferably methylal (polyformaldehyde) or acetal (polyacetaldehyde). The polyacetal resin can be melted rapidly when heated, and has a certain fluidity after melting, when the elastic member 30 pushes the boss 221 to move, because the fluidity of the polyacetal resin after heating can reduce the resistance to the boss 221, when the heating is stopped, the boss 221 can be effectively fixed in time, and the extension column 22 can be further fixed. In the invention, the method for realizing the axial relative rest between the limiting column 21 and the shell 10 is not particularly limited, and can be clamping fixation, riveting fixation or assembly stress fixation. The outer wall of the limiting column 21 and the inner wall of the shell 10 can be in clearance fit.
In order that the column cannot rotate freely around the axis but only move axially, the prosthesis is also provided with a rotation limiting element. In this embodiment, the rotation restricting member includes a rotation restricting post 24. The rotation limiting post is located at the distal end of the housing and is configured to remain at least circumferentially stationary relative to the housing, the rotation limiting post being provided with a first lumen. The first cavity is at least partially prismatic in shape. It is clear that the number of corners of the prism shape here can be any natural number greater than 2, for example triangular, tetragonal, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, etc. The extension post 22 extends distally through the first lumen of the rotation limiting post 24. The far end of the extending column body is at least partially prismatic in shape, and the far end of the extending column body is matched with the first inner cavity. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the first lumen is octagonal, the distal end of the extension column 22 is also octagonal, and the size of the first lumen is equivalent to the distal end of the extension column 22. In this manner, the extension post 22 cannot rotate relative to the rotation limiting post 24. Further, the outer wall of the rotation limiting column 24 is matched with the inner wall of the housing 10, and a plurality of pin holes, for example, 4 pin holes arranged uniformly in the axial direction as shown in fig. 4, are formed between the outer wall of the rotation limiting column 24 and the inner wall of the housing 10. The number of the pin holes can be further adjusted according to actual needs. Each of the first positioning pins 41 is inserted into one of the pin holes. The far-end outer wall surface of the extension column 22 body is prism-shaped, the inner wall of the first inner cavity of the rotation limiting column 24 is matched with the outer wall shape of the extension column 22, and the rotation limiting column 24 and the shell 10 are kept static relatively in the circumferential direction, so that the extension column 22 cannot rotate freely relative to the shell 10.
In the prosthesis, as shown in fig. 1, the extending column 22 is a hollow body with a second inner cavity, and the distal end of the extending column is provided with a second closed end. The prosthesis further comprises an inner post 23, wherein: the inner column 23 comprises an extension body and a base, the base of the inner column 23 is adjacent to the first closed end of the housing, and the extension body of the inner column 23 is accommodated in the second inner cavity of the extension column 22 and extends towards the second closed end. At least the outer wall material of the extended body of the inner post 23 is a biocompatible material. Preferably, the polyether-ether-ketone material is selected, has good biocompatibility and has the capability of resisting chemical corrosion. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, in the prosthesis, the elastic element is a compression spring sleeved on the extension body, the proximal end of the elastic element 30 abuts against the base of the inner column 23, and the distal end of the elastic element 30 abuts against the second closed end of the extension column 22. The base of the inner post 23 is in close abutment with the first closed end by the pressure of the resilient member 30. The inner wall of the elastic member 30 is in clearance fit with the outer wall of the inner column 23, and the outer wall of the elastic member 30 is in clearance fit with the inner wall of the extension column 22, so that the elastic member 30 can be freely extended.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the AB section refers to the length of the extension body of the inner column 23, the CF section refers to the depth of the second cavity of the extension column 22, and the AF section refers to the length of the extension body of the inner column 23 extending into the second cavity of the extension column 22. Preferably, the length of the AB section is equal to the length of the CF section, i.e., the length of the extension body of the inner column 23 is equal to the depth of the second lumen of the inner wall of the extension column 22. In addition, the axial length of the limiting column 21 should be smaller than the free length of the compression spring 30, so that the compression spring 30 can apply elastic force to the extension column 22 in the whole life cycle of the prosthesis. Thus, when the extension body of the inner column 23 is fully inserted into the second inner cavity of the extension column 22, and the section AB coincides with the section CF, the elastic member 30 has the maximum elastic force. As the extension post 22 moves distally, the spring force provided by the compression spring 30 is reduced but still overcomes the resistance of the stop 21 after melting.
Further, the inner column 23 further comprises a magnetic conductive member, the magnetic conductive member is accommodated in the extension body of the inner column, the relative magnetic conductivity of the magnetic conductive member is 100-10000, and preferably, the magnetic conductive member is made of permanent magnetic ferrite. In the extension process of the prosthesis, under the action of an external alternating magnetic field, the magnetic conduction component can further enhance the field intensity of the alternating magnetic field, more efficiently promote the magnetic energy to be converted into electric energy and further converted into heat energy, so that the heating efficiency of the boss 221 part of the extension column 22 can be greatly improved, the action time of the alternating magnetic field is shortened, the extension agility is improved, and an efficient extension mechanism is ensured.
As shown in fig. 1, in the prosthesis, the prosthesis further includes a shell cap 50, the shell cap 50 is located at the first open end and is pressed on the rotation limiting column 24, and the shell cap 50 is detachably connected with the shell 10, such as a snap connection or a screw connection. The shell cap 50 has a third inner cavity, the third inner cavity is axially through, and the extension column 22 extends to the outer side of the shell. The limit column 21 is abutted with the first sealing end part, the limit rotating column 24 is abutted with the limit column 21, the shell cap 50 is tightly pressed on the limit rotating column 24 and is detachably connected with the shell 10, and the limit column 21, the limit rotating column 24 and the shell 10 can be kept axially and relatively static.
As shown in figure 1, the first closed end of the sheath 10 has an opening 11 to facilitate steam introduction through the opening 11 for sterilization, and the opening 11 provides air communication between the interior and exterior as the extension post 22 extends distally to maintain a balance of the differential pressures between the interior and exterior of the prosthesis during extension.
In other embodiments, the outer wall of the distal end of the extending column 22 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of axially extending grooves, and the rotation limiting member comprises a plurality of second positioning pins fixed to the inner wall of the distal end of the housing 10 and extending radially inward to be received in the axial grooves. In another embodiment, the inner wall of the distal end of the housing 10 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of axial grooves, and the rotation limiting member includes a plurality of second positioning pins, which are fixed to the outer wall of the distal end of the extending column 22 and extend radially outward and are accommodated in one axial groove of the housing 10.
In conclusion, in the prosthesis and the prosthesis system provided by the invention, the process of extending the prosthesis to the outside is stable and controllable, the prosthesis is pushed only by using the internal elastic part without an operation, no wound is caused to a human body, the design structure is simple, and the problem of poor safety of the prosthesis in the prior art is solved. The extension column 22 includes the body and is located body near-end boss, and the boss radially outwards extends along the body to extend into spacing post 21, can make spacing post 21 fixed under the circumstances at ordinary times with extension column 22, can not produce axial relative movement. When the extension is needed, an alternating magnetic field is applied to the prosthesis, the boss generates heat to melt the limiting column in contact with the boss, the extension column moves towards the far end under the action of elastic force, the outer wall of the extension column 22 body is provided with a groove, and under the action of the external alternating magnetic field, the groove 222 section is cut off because a loop of a magnetic circuit is generated, so that eddy current cannot be generated, and the rest part of the prosthesis is prevented from being damaged by heat.
The prosthesis of the present invention is part of a prosthesis system, as shown in fig. 1-2, the prosthesis system includes an elongated body, i.e., the prosthesis of the present invention, and an alternating magnetic field generating device, the alternating magnetic field being located outside the human body.
