Description

Pedicle screw-rod system capable of changing rigidity into flexibility into rigidity
Technical Field
The invention relates to a medical instrument, in particular to a pedicle screw and rod fixing system for internal fixation of a spine.
Background
Currently, pedicle screw and rod fixation systems used in the fields of bone surgery and neurosurgery are mainly divided into two main categories, one is a static pedicle screw which causes a fixed segment to lose any movement, and the fixation is called rigid fixation for short; the other is a dynamic pedicle screw which can make a fixed segment do proper bending and stretching activities, and is called as a dynamic screw for short, and the fixed segment is fixed in a non-rigid way.
The rigid fixation is stronger, which is beneficial to fracture healing and interbody fusion, but the over-strong fixation can lead the fixed segment to generate stress shielding, thus causing the disuse osteoporosis of the vertebra; furthermore, the inner fixing device can generate the phenomena of fatigue fracture, looseness and other protection failures due to the fact that the inner fixing device is excessively dependent on the long-term protection of the inner fixing object; once the loose spine loses the effective support of the pedicle screw, the injury such as osteoporosis fracture and the like can be more easily caused; it is therefore often clinically necessary to intentionally surgically remove the internal fixation device after the bone has healed.
In addition, some injuries need to support the spine by using the pedicle screw rod system in the early operation stage, so that the pressure on the vertebral body and the intervertebral is reduced, the stability of the spine is enhanced along with the healing of an incision, and a fixed segment is expected to have certain flexion and extension activities, namely the fixing strength of the pedicle screw rod system is expected to be reduced, and the degeneration caused by the stress concentration of the adjacent segment is prevented.
In order to prevent adjacent sections from degeneration, a non-rigid fixed dynamic screw is delivered, as the pedicle screw is mostly not fixed in situ, in the operation process, after implantation of all pedicle screws and installation of a connecting rod are completed, a distractor or a clamping device is often used for distracting or clamping a screw seat of the pedicle screw to drive a screw body in rigid connection with the screw seat to pick up a vertebral body fixed by the pedicle screw, so that adjacent vertebral bodies and intervertebral spaces are opened or closed to a required position, all screw plugs are screwed down to maintain the position and the spine stability of the fixed section, however, the dynamic screw in a hinged state between the screw body and the screw seat is only acted on the screw seat by soft tissue resistance such as intervertebral disc and ligament due to the fact that the front end of the screw body cannot synchronously move in parallel with the screw seat, but temporarily stays in situ, so that the coaxial relation between the screw seat and the screw body is damaged, only when the distraction or continuous action of the distraction or the clamping force exerted by the tool is acted, the swing of the screw body and the screw seat reaches the designed limit value, the swing angle of the screw body is only damaged, namely, the swing angle of the screw body and the screw seat is seriously influenced by the two dynamic screw body swing angles, namely, the swing of the swing angle is seriously influenced by the two dynamic screw body, namely, the swing angle of the swing, the swing of the screw body is seriously influenced by the swing, the swing angle is more than the swing, the swing of the swing angle, the screw body is seriously influenced by the swing angle, the screw.
The nail body and the nail seat can not synchronously move in the same direction in real time, so that adjacent intervertebral discs are gradually expanded along with the gradual distance between the nail seats, and a forward angulation trend consistent with that between the nail bodies gradually appears, so that forward flexion fixation is caused; and the adjacent intervertebral parts are compressed along with the gradual approaching of the nail seats, and simultaneously, the trend of backward angulation consistent with the nail bodies gradually appears, so that the backward extension fixation is caused.
However, there is no dynamic nail that can temporarily limit the dynamically connected nail body and nail seat to be relatively fixed in the distraction or compression direction for operation during operation, and there is no pedicle screw-rod fixation system that can provide strong rigid fixation at the early stage of fixation and then automatically convert into non-rigid fixation with relatively weak fixation strength.
In addition, due to various cases of injuries and diseases, which type of pedicle screws are needed before operation is difficult to be determined, even if a definite operation plan before operation is corrected according to what is seen in the operation, the dynamic screws or the static screws prepared before operation are not suitable for being used again, so that a whole set of static screws or dynamic screws and operation tools thereof are required to be prepared as backup before operation, and the investment and consumption of marketing enterprises and hospitals on human, financial and material resources are increased; sometimes, in order to reduce consumption, for the rare cases, some operations in some hospitals do not carry out backup, and once backup is needed in the operations, the cost of sacrificing medical quality, such as sacrificing fixed quality, increasing the time of waiting instruments in the operations, prolonging the time of the whole operations, and the like, is inevitably generated; at the moment, the pedicle screws which can realize dynamic and static consideration and static-dynamic conversion to meet the requirement of one screw for three purposes can be mutually used as emergency backups to solve the clinical urgency.
In addition, the lower the height of the pedicle screw exposed out of the bone, namely the lower the 'incisure', the less the adverse stimulation to the human body, and most of the existing pedicle screws are 'middle-positioned' type nails which are tightly connected with the screw seat and the screw body into a whole by directly extruding the connecting rod by the screw plug, so the increased incisure on the axis of the screw plug because of the superposition of the connecting rod on the axis of the screw plug can not be reduced; the side-mounted pedicle screw with the application number of 201910494053.6, namely the externally-arranged spring type pedicle screw with the screw plug and the connecting rod arranged in parallel, can greatly reduce cutting marks and thoroughly solve the problem of wire explosion, but has no screw tool interface at the upper end of the screw seat, and is difficult in nail implantation operation.

The structure and combination and function of the invention can be clearly shown by the figures 1 and 2, the figure 1 shows the two-dimensional drawing and the outline drawing of the invention, the figure 2 shows the explosion effect drawing of the invention, the two drawings can show that the pedicle screw of the invention is formed by connecting and permanently fixing the upper end 551 and the lower end 553 of the spring 55 with the screw seat 4 and the screw body 5 respectively, and the axes of the three parts are coincident, the screw body 5 and the screw seat 4 can swing to all directions by taking the spring 55 as a turning point; when the inner core type stopper 3e is screwed into the spring cavity 552, the lower end bulge 34 of the stopper is inserted into the blind hole 56 at the upper end of the nail body, thereby preventing the spring 55 from bending, and enabling the pedicle nail to be rigid connection in a neutral state with the nail body 5 and the nail seat 4 coaxial, so as to facilitate the nail implantation operation; during operation, after all the pedicle screws are implanted into the spine, the connecting rod 2 is arranged on one side of the screw seat 4, the hook frame 7 is sleeved into the outer cylindrical surface 47 of the screw seat, the external thread 11 at the lower end of the screw plug 1 is screwed into the internal thread 45 of the screw seat, the connecting rod 2 is hooked and restrained on the screw seat 4 by the rod pressing frame 73, the spine can be easily expanded or pressurized by means of the pedicle screws which are connected in a rigid neutral position, and the angulation of a fixed segment caused by the forced angulation of the screw body 5 and the screw seat 4 is avoided; after the expansion and the pressurization are completed, when the screw plug 1 is screwed, the rod pressing frame 73 of the hook frame 7 and the nail seat rod cambered surface 48 lock the connecting rod 2 together through the downward pressure of the screw plug upper cover 13.
FIG. 3 is a two-dimensional view of the assembly of the present invention and a three-dimensional view of the nail holder and hook frame, respectively, further illustrating the construction and relationship of the components involved; the shape of the driver interface 46 at the upper end of the nail holder is clearly shown in fig. 3, and the use of the driver interface 46 at the upper end of the nail holder allows the pedicle screws to be screwed into the spine without the addition of the inner core type stopper 3e, which is an important optimization improvement of the patent application No. 201910494053.6.
Because the external spring type dynamic nail is characterized in that after the spring 7 is connected with the nail seat 5 and the nail body 4, a section of spring between the two can still do bending movement to generate the function of the dynamic nail, so that the whole pedicle nail can be in a static state or a dynamic state only by controlling the movement of the section of spring.
The structure and the limiting mechanism of the limiter are further illustrated by the attached fig. 4, as shown in fig. 4, the limiter is an inner core type limiter 3e, the outer surface of the limiter is processed into a cylindrical body with a thread 33 matched with the inner cavity 552 of the spring 55, the upper end surface of the limiter is provided with a screwdriver interface 32 for a screwdriver function, and the lower end of the limiter is provided with a protrusion 34; when the inner core type stopper 3e is not inserted into the inner cavity 552 of the spring 55, the screw body 5 and the implanted human vertebral body can swing at a certain angle relative to the screw plug 1, the hook frame 7, the connecting rod 2 and the screw seat 4 which are already connected together, as shown in fig. 4a, the pedicle screw of the present invention exhibits the function of a dynamic screw; when the inner core type limiter 3e is screwed into the inner cavity 552 of the spring 55 by using the inner core external thread 33 on the outer surface thereof by using the screwdriver, the lower end protrusion 34 of the inner core type limiter is then screwed into the upper end blind hole 56 of the nail body matched with the inner core type limiter, so that the spring 55 cannot be bent, the nail seat 4 and the nail body 5 become coaxial rigidity in an immediate neutral state, and the nail body 5 cannot swing relative to the nail seat 4 to become a 'static nail', as shown in fig. 4 b; if the inner core type stopper 3e is made of non-degradable material, it will be always stuck in the inner cavity 552 of the spring 55, and the whole pedicle screw will always be a "static screw"; since the inner core type stopper 3e of the present invention is made of degradable material, when it is gradually degraded, becomes smaller and softer and finally absorbed with time, the pedicle screw also gradually changes the static screw which initially performs rigid fixation into a dynamic screw which performs non-rigid fixation, i.e. the combination shown in fig. 4b returns to the combination shown in fig. 4a, thereby achieving the purpose of "the fixation screw is formed at the initial stage of operation and then gradually changed into the dynamic screw".
The beneficial effects of the invention will be further described with reference to fig. 5 and 6, as shown in fig. 5, the pedicle screw disclosed in the present application adopts a structural form of "connecting rod side-mounted", and the height of incisal tracks is effectively reduced by moving the connecting rod 2 to one side of the screw seat 4; the incisure height of the currently popular 'connective bar mid-positioned' dynamic nail shown in the middle of figure 5 is about 18mm, while the incisure of the invention application shown in the left side of figure 5 is only about 12mm, the reduced incisure h reaches about 6mm, and the incisure data can greatly reduce the adverse stimulation of the implant to the paraspinal muscles and improve the postoperative experience of patients.
As can be seen from the effect diagram of the typical "connecting rod middle-positioned" pedicle screw on the right side of fig. 5, when the screw plug downwards presses the connecting rod by using the internal thread on the screw seat, the working principle of the thread inevitably generates a lateral component force F which props open the through groove of the U-shaped opening on the screw seat towards two sides, thereby causing the screw plug to loosen, and further causing a medical accident of "rod loosening and rod breaking" seriously; in the multipurpose pedicle screw disclosed by the invention, because the connecting rod 2 is arranged on the side, the whole screw seat 4 is in a circular tube shape almost without weak points except the narrow and shallow screwdriver connector 46 at the upper end, and the hook frame 7 is sleeved on the outer cylindrical surface 47 of the screw seat in an encircling manner, the screw seat 4 cannot be propped open towards two sides no matter how much downward pressure is applied by the upper cover 13 of the screw, so that the clinical purpose of 'explosion-proof wire' is achieved.
The right drawing of fig. 6 is a nail seat effect drawing of the invention patent with the application number 201910494053.6 named as 'external spring type pedicle screw of an explosion-proof wire', the upper end of which has no screwdriver interface and is difficult to plant nails, in addition, only one side of the nail seat is provided with an arc surface for connecting a connecting rod, the nail seat is difficult to rotate to a proper position during operation, and the installation is difficult; on the contrary, the left drawing of fig. 6 shows the present invention, the nail seat 4 has the screwdriver interface 46 for facilitating nail implantation, and the outer edge of the whole nail seat is surrounded by a circle of arc surface with uniform shape, so that the nail seat 4 can be installed smoothly no matter what angle the nail seat 4 rotates.
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not exhaustive of other embodiments of the present invention, and therefore, any modifications, equivalents, improvements, etc. made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
