Description

Vorrichtung zum Befestigen eines Bandes am KnochenDevice for attaching a band to the bone

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befestigung eines Bandes, insbesondere eines Kreuzbandes, am Knochen.The invention relates to a device for attaching a ligament, in particular a cruciate ligament, to the bone.

Die Vorrichtung soll einen einfachen Aufbau aufweisen, leicht mit dem Knochen verbindbar sein und zu einer sehr sicheren, ggf. auch wiederholten Befestigung des Bandes am Knochen führen.The device should have a simple structure, be easy to connect to the bone and lead to a very secure, if necessary repeated, attachment of the band to the bone.

Die diesen Zielen entsprechende Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einer die Merkmale des Schutzanspruchs 1 aufweisenden Vorrichtung mit einer einen hohlen Schaft und einen Schraubenkopf aufweisenden, mit einem selbstschneidenden Außengewinde versehenen Hohlschraube zum Einschrauben in den Knochen, wobei der Schraubenkopf mit seiner dem Schaft abgewandten Fläche eine Auflage für den zu einer Bucht gelegten Endbereich des Bandes bildet, und mit einem Klemmteller, welcher mittels einer ihn zentrisch durchdringenden, in den hohlen Schaft einschraubbaren Befestigungsschraube gegen den Schraubenkopf verspannbar ist, derart, daß im verspannten Zustand die um den Schaft der Befestigungsschraube herum liegende Bucht des Bandes zwischen dem Schraubenkopf und dem Klemmteller verklemmt ist.The problem corresponding to these aims is solved with a device having the features of claim 1 with a hollow screw having a hollow shaft and a screw head and provided with a self-tapping external thread for screwing into the bone, the screw head with its surface facing away from the shaft forming a support for the end region of the band laid out in a recess, and with a clamping plate which can be clamped against the screw head by means of a fastening screw which penetrates it centrally and can be screwed into the hollow shaft, in such a way that in the clamped state the recess of the band lying around the shaft of the fastening screw is clamped between the screw head and the clamping plate.

Vorteilhafte weitere Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Advantageous further embodiments of the device according to the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Das Besondere an der aufgefundenen Lösung ist die Bandbefestigung mittels eines „Schraube in Schraube - Systems" bei welchem der zu einer Bucht gelegte Endbereich des Bandes kerbwirkungsfrei zwischen den Bauteilen der Vorrichtung verklemmt ist. Bemerkenswert ist dabei, daß die gesamte Vorrichtung mit nur drei Bauteilen auskommt. Die Verklemmung des Bandendes ist durch kontrolliertes Anziehen der Befestigungsschraube reproduzierbar definiert möglich.The special feature of the solution found is the fastening of the band using a "screw in screw system" in which the end of the band, which is laid out in a bay, is clamped between the components of the device without any stress effects. It is remarkable that the entire device only requires three components. The clamping of the band end can be reproducibly defined by tightening the fastening screw in a controlled manner.

Mit der aufgefundenen Vorrichtung ergibt sich eine einfache und minimal invasive Operationstechnik, da zuerst nur der die Auflage für das Bandende bildende Schraubenkopf durch Einschrauben der Hohlschraube in den Knochen an diesemThe device found here provides a simple and minimally invasive surgical technique, since first only the screw head forming the support for the end of the ligament is removed by screwing the hollow screw into the bone at this

fixiert wird. Sollte das Band nach langem Gebrauch versagen, kann es sehr einfach ausgetauscht bzw. erneut befestigt werden, da die Hohlschraube mit der Bandauflage im Knochen verbleibt. Dadurch ist die OP-Technik insgesamt sehr knochenschonend.If the band fails after long-term use, it can be easily replaced or reattached, as the hollow screw with the band support remains in the bone. This means that the surgical technique is very gentle on the bone.

Bezugnehmend auf die Zeichnung wird die erfindungsgemäße, in Explosionsdarstellung gezeigte Vorrichtung nachfolgend im Rahmen eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.With reference to the drawing, the device according to the invention, shown in an exploded view, is explained below in the context of an exemplary embodiment.

Mit 2 ist der hohle Schaft einer in den Knochen einzuschraubenden Hohlschraube bezeichnet. Dieser Schaft 2 trägt außen ein selbstschneidendes Gewinde 11. Er ist auch innen mit einem Gewinde versehen, in das eine Befestigungsschraube 7 einschraubbar ist.2 denotes the hollow shaft of a hollow screw to be screwed into the bone. This shaft 2 has a self-tapping thread 11 on the outside. It is also provided with a thread on the inside into which a fastening screw 7 can be screwed.

Die Hohlschraube weist ferner einen mit dem hohlen Schaft 2 einstückigen Schraubenkopf 3 auf. Dieser ist in dem gezeigten Beispiel mit zwei Bohrungen 9 versehen, an denen beim Einschrauben der Hohlschraube 2,3 ein Werkzeug angreifen kann. Der Schraubenkopf 3 bildet mit seiner dem hohlen Schaft 2 abgewandten Fläche eine Auflage 4 für das zu einer Bucht 5 gelegte Ende des Bandes 1.The hollow screw also has a screw head 3 which is one piece with the hollow shaft 2. In the example shown, this is provided with two holes 9 which a tool can engage when screwing in the hollow screw 2, 3. The screw head 3, with its surface facing away from the hollow shaft 2, forms a support 4 for the end of the band 1 which is laid in a recess 5.

Weiteres Bauteil der Vorrichtung ist der Klemmteller 6. Dieser weist eine zentrische Bohrung auf, durch die die Befestigungsschraube 7 geführt werden kann. Diese Befestigungsschraube 10 greift mit ihrem Außengewinde in das Innengewinde des hohlen Schafts 2 der Hohlschraube 2,3 ein.Another component of the device is the clamping plate 6. This has a central hole through which the fastening screw 7 can be guided. This fastening screw 10 engages with its external thread in the internal thread of the hollow shaft 2 of the hollow screw 2,3.

Der Klemmteller 6 weist auf seiner in der gezeigten Darstellung nicht sichtbaren Außenfläche eine Ausnehmung auf, in der der Kopf 10 der Befestigungsschraube versenkt aufgenommen ist. Dieser Kopf 10 ist im übrigen mit einem Inneninbus versehen, in dem ein Inbusschlüssel angreifen kann.The clamping plate 6 has a recess on its outer surface (not visible in the illustration shown) into which the head 10 of the fastening screw is countersunk. This head 10 is also provided with an internal Allen key into which an Allen key can engage.

In der Zeichnung sind deutlich vier vom Klemmteller 6 in Richtung auf den Schraubenkopf 3 der Hohlschraube 2,3 abstehende Stege 8 erkennbar. Diese Stege 8 umgeben bei montierter Vorrichtung den zu der Bucht 5 umgelenkten EndbereichIn the drawing, four webs 8 protruding from the clamping plate 6 in the direction of the screw head 3 of the hollow screw 2,3 are clearly visible. When the device is mounted, these webs 8 surround the end area deflected to the bay 5.

des Bandes 1 nach Art eines Käfigs. Das Band ist daher in der montierten Vorrichtung absolut sicher gegen Herabrutschen von der Auflage 4 des Schraubenkopfs 3 gehalten. Es versteht sich, daß die Stege 8, die alternativ bzw. zusätzlich auch von dem Schraubenkopf 3 abstehen könnten, das Einlegen des Bandes in die Vorrichtung durch den Operateur erleichtern.of the band 1 in the manner of a cage. The band is therefore held in the assembled device absolutely securely against slipping off the support 4 of the screw head 3. It is understood that the webs 8, which could alternatively or additionally also protrude from the screw head 3, make it easier for the surgeon to insert the band into the device.

Bei fertig montierter Vorrichtung ist der zur Bucht 5 gelegte Endbereich des Bandes 1 zwischen dem Schraubenkopf 3 und dem Klemmteller 6 verklemmt. Die Klemmkraft wird mit der Befestigungsschraube 7 aufgebracht und kann durch mehr oder weniger starkes Anziehen dieser Befestigungsschraube definiert und reproduzierbar eingestellt werden.When the device is fully assembled, the end area of the band 1 placed towards the bay 5 is clamped between the screw head 3 and the clamping plate 6. The clamping force is applied with the fastening screw 7 and can be defined and reproducibly adjusted by tightening this fastening screw more or less strongly.

Vorteilhaft ist, daß durch die Umlenkung des Bandes 1 die Befestigung frei von Kerbwirkungen ist.The advantage is that the deflection of the band 1 means that the fastening is free from stress concentrations.

Als geeigneter Werkstoff für einzelne oder auch sämtliche Bauteile der Vorrichtung ist Titan vorgesehen.Titanium is intended as a suitable material for individual or all components of the device.
