Description

Distensible intervertebral implant
The present invention relates to a kind of by claim 1 intervertebral implant as described in the preamble.
By the known this intervertebral implant of EP-A10664994.The shortcoming of this structure is that implant and dilator are designed to one, so can only insert the intervertebral intracavity as a whole, insertion must realize by squeezing into implant.In addition, known intervertebral implant can only not expanded step by step, consequently can only inaccurately plan the angle of flare before operation.
The present invention will provide remedial measure.The objective of the invention is to create a kind of intervertebral implant, it can not have to screw under the situation of dilator the intervertebral chamber in the phase I, just in second stage just by means of a dilator that can insert implant at the intervertebral endoluminal expansion.Expansion should be able to stepless or controlledly be carried out, so allow to plan the angle of flare before operation.
The purpose that proposes in order to reach by the present invention is by means of a kind of intervertebral implant with claim 1 feature.
The guide cylinder of implant or be shaped on female thread or be shaped on external screw thread (or both).Female thread allows implant to expand by means of dilator, and dilator has a bar that has the screw thread corresponding with female thread.But the external screw thread on the guide cylinder also allows by means of dilator expansion implant, and this dilator has a hollow cylinder part that has the screw thread corresponding with external screw thread.Second kind of scheme is because diameter allows to transmit bigger pulling force than die.
Design with externally threaded guide cylinder in having has additional advantage, promptly can be a kind of operating technology that guiding is arranged.The pilot pin that is fixed in the female thread can be used to during whole surgery as the guiding assistor, and other instruments can be enclosed within above it.Operation is here undertaken by three steps basically.Implant screws in by means of a screw shell; Fragment filling implant with bone; Implant is expanded towards end plate at the intervertebral intracavity.Also can imagine an additional step, that is inject the liquid state or the gelatinous mass of stimulation of bone growth at the intervertebral intracavity.Can adopt the instrument of screw-in with holes or implantable bone fragment for this purpose.
Another design of intervertebral implant is that the outside on limit is shaped on and is arranged essentially parallel to the guiding rib that guide cylinder is extended, and it makes implant be easy to insert the intervertebral intracavity.
The limit can also be shaped on the hole, does like this to help growing of bone in the hole.For same purpose, in two planes of U-shaped supporting mass, can respectively establish two limits, wherein, put in the strut rail end on the limit, so form a cavity between two limits in each plane, bone can be grown in cavity.
The strut rail of implant preferably is symmetrical in the limit and arranges.
A kind of preferential improvement is that the inboard on implant limit is shaped on groove, and they extend transverse to guide cylinder.Do additional advantage like this, that is, when intervertebral implant is expanded, can constitute definite (mapping out before the operation) angle.
Another design of intervertebral implant is that free end has the flange that refers to inwards before its Bian Zaiqi; They prevent that the GUSUIPIAN that is filled in the implant from skidding off.
The advantage that adopts the present invention to obtain mainly is, owing to press intervertebral implant of the present invention:
-lordosis radius and this angle of recovery nature can be determined before operation with can being suitable for the patient.Created best precondition for the inside growth of implant thus;
-can be a kind of AT implanted prosthetics, because implant can mildly and controlledly screw in, rather than a kind of process of squeezing into; And
-can be (also being intrusion amount minimum) operating technology of a kind of simplification, that is be three step operating technologies by the pilot pin guiding.
