- a second set of means 12 formed of flexible or damping means made of bio-compatible viscoelastic materials, accepting repeated elastic deformations. It is the combination of these two sets of means that allows the invention to work
- the first set of means 11 comprises four mechanical structures 110, 112, 114, 116 which have the function of transmitting the forces, without deforming, and to which the device 1 is subjected.
- the mechanical structure 110 consists of a mechanical rod 111 one end of which is surmounted by a circular plate 113b connected to said rod 111 with a large connection radius 113a, the assembly being able to slide in the hollow part of the structure 114 which encloses a viscoelastic element 121.
- the mechanical structure 112 is a cap provided with a thread 117 allowing the fixing of said structure 112 on the structure 114; the means 112 has a shoulder 118 which makes it possible to enclose between the plate 113b and itself a viscoelastic washer 121.

- the material chosen is preferably a bio-compatible polyurethane; thanks to their integration inside the mechanical means 110, 112, 114, 116, the viscoelastic means 121 and 122 are protected by the previous mechanical structures from the aggressive environment of the human body, this in particular avoids the formation of fibers around these means which could alter the viscoelastic properties of the material and therefore disturb the proper functioning of the device 1.
- This device 1 makes it possible to dampen the compressive and flexural stresses which it undergoes by means of the rods 110 and 116.

- the Device 1 is capable of operating with rods 110 and 131 moving on concurrent axes (fig 13) with a small displacement angle and according to determined deflections.
- the means 12 are then composed of two viscoelastic means 141 and 142.
- the means 141 is a cylinder full of viscoelastic material, biocompatible and whose face in contact with a plate is inclined.
- the means 142 is a washer whose face in contact with the back of the plate is inclined.
- All of the means 11 are identical to those previously described, the orifice 119 nevertheless being off-center as a function of the angle chosen.
- the shape of the orifice 119 is defined as a function of the deflections that are allowed to the rod 110.
- the rod 110 can thus, thanks to these new technical characteristics, work in compression traction with a given angle relative to the rod 116 or the rod 131 in the case where the orifice 119 is offset and adjusted to the rod 116 or 131 ( Figures 14).
- the rod 110 forming an angle with respect to the rod 116 or 131 (case where the orifice 119 is oblong and off-center) can in this case work as well in compression compression as in lateral bending, (f ty i ⁇ )
- the rod 110 can work in tension compression and in bending along a privileged axis which can be for example in the sagittal plane of the spine, and this on either side of a given position of the rod 110 forming at rest an angle with the rod 116 or the rod 131, this, always in the case where the means 119 is oblong and off-center, (fig 16)

Description
DISPOSITIF DE LIAISON VERTEBRALE SOUPLE FLEXIBLE VERTEBRAL CONNECTION DEVICE
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION
L'invention concerne un dispositif de liaison vertébrale postérieure qui travaille en traction compression et en flexion , et qui amortit toutes les sollicitations mécaniques.Ce dispositif va présenter des avantages fonctionnels qui vont être décrits . ART ANTERIEUR :The invention relates to a posterior vertebral connection device which works in traction, compression and flexion, and which absorbs all mechanical stresses. This device will have functional advantages which will be described. PRIOR ART:
On connaît de nombreux systèmes de fixations vertébrales postérieures rigidifiant un certain nombre de vertèbres en les privant de toute mobilité pour permettre ainsi d'encaisser toutes contraintes mécaniques. Cependant, la première vertèbre adjacente à ce bloc rigide garde toute sa mobilité et cette discontinuité brutale entre le bloc rigide et cette vertèbre libre engendre très souvent une hypersollicitation des éléments de liaison. Il s'en suit une accélération de la dégénérescence de ce niveau.Numerous systems of posterior vertebral attachments are known which rigidify a certain number of vertebrae by depriving them of all mobility, thereby allowing all mechanical stresses to be absorbed. However, the first vertebra adjacent to this rigid block retains all of its mobility and this abrupt discontinuity between the rigid block and this free vertebra very often generates over-stress on the connecting elements. It follows an acceleration of the degeneration of this level.
Ce problème n'a été que très partiellement résolu par des systèmes semi-rigides conçus pour créer une rigidité intermédiaire entre les vertèbres mobiles et les vertèbres fixes. Ces systèmes présentent les inconvénients suivants :This problem was only very partially solved by semi-rigid systems designed to create an intermediate stiffness between the mobile vertebrae and the fixed vertebrae. These systems have the following drawbacks:
-soit: ils travaillent uniquement en traction. C'est le cas de tous les dispositifs basés sur les ligaments artificiels. Ces systèmes sont peu élastiques et laissent à l'appréciation de l'opérateur le soin de régler la tension rendant ainsi aléatoire les caractéristiques mécaniques en particulier dans le mode de fonctionnement traction compression qui nous concerne.-or: they work only in traction. This is the case for all devices based on artificial ligaments. These systems are not very elastic and leave it to the discretion of the operator to adjust the tension, thus making the mechanical characteristics random, particularly in the traction compression operating mode which concerns us.
-soit: ils travaillent en compression avec une butée en traction, ce qui rend ces dispositifs inefficaces dés qu'ils doivent assister des déplacements en extension.
Quoiqu'il en soit: aucun des dispositifs connus ne résout entièrement le problème posé, à savoir: amortir les sollicitations mécaniques existant en traction compression et en flexion auquelles une vertèbre mobile peut être soumise. Nous citerons comme première antériorité : le brevet EP-or: they work in compression with a stop in traction, which makes these devices ineffective as soon as they have to assist in displacement movements. Anyway: none of the known devices entirely solves the problem posed, namely: damping the mechanical stresses existing in compression and flexion traction to which a mobile vertebra can be subjected. We will cite as first priority: the EP patent
0576 379 Al qui présente un amortisseur qui semble s'approcher le plus près tout au moins du point de vue du schéma général de la présente invention ; la revendication 1 du présent brevet protège "un amortisseur uniaxial travaillant uniquement en compression tout en jouant le rôle d'une butée qui s'oppose à tout déplacement du piston au delà d'une valeur déterminée0576 379 A1 which has a damper which seems to approach the closest at least from the point of view of the general diagram of the present invention; claim 1 of this patent protects "a uniaxial damper working only in compression while playing the role of a stop which prevents any movement of the piston beyond a determined value
Dans ce cas la limitation exponentielle du déplacement résolue par l'antériorité , est un problème qui n'a rien à voir avec celui que veut résoudre la présente invention.In this case the exponential limitation of the displacement resolved by the prior art, is a problem which has nothing to do with that which the present invention wishes to solve.
Nous citerons une deuxième antériorité : la demande de brevetWe will cite a second priority: the patent application
N° 0012998 qui décrit et revendique "un dispositif de liaison vertébral souple et monobloc fonctionnant de manière multidirectionnelle " Cette antériorité ne résout pas tout à fait le même problème que celui que veut résoudre la présente invention, dont les moyens et fonctions mis en place sont différents .N ° 0012998 which describes and claims "a flexible and monobloc vertebral connection device operating in a multidirectional manner" This prior art does not entirely resolve the same problem as that which the present invention wishes to solve, the means and functions of which are different .
Dans la présente invention on peut choisir de manière précise le mode de travail désiré: traction compression ou flexion , ou la combinaison des deux modes de travail ,ceci afin d'éviter tout contact entre les facettes articulaires.
DESCRIPTIONIn the present invention, it is possible to choose precisely the desired working mode: traction, compression or bending, or the combination of the two working modes, this in order to avoid any contact between the articular facets. DESCRIPTION

Les figures 14 à 17 de la planche 5/6 montrent quatre formes de l'extrémité mobile d'une autre variante du dispositif 1. La figure 18 de la planche 6/6 montre le dispositif posé Le dispositif 1 est constitué de deux ensembles de moyens: Un premier ensemble de moyens 11 composé de moyens rigides fabriqués en matériau de préférence métalliques biocompatibles assurant une bonne tenue mécanique du dispositif en transmettant intégralement les effortsFigures 14 to 17 of plate 5/6 show four shapes of the movable end of another variant of the device 1. Figure 18 of plate 6/6 shows the device installed The device 1 consists of two sets of means: A first set of means 11 composed of rigid means made of preferably biocompatible metallic material ensuring good mechanical strength of the device by fully transmitting the forces
Un deuxième ensemble de moyens 12 formé de moyens souples ou amortissant fabriqués en matériaux viscoélastiques bio- compatibles , acceptant les déformations élastiques répétées. C'est la combinaison de ces deux ensembles de moyens qui permet à l'invention de fonctionner
Le premier ensemble de moyens 11 comprend quatre structures mécaniques 110 ,112, 114 , 116 qui ont pour fonction de transmettre les efforts , sans se déformer, et auquels est soumis le dispositif 1. La structure mécanique 110 est constituée d'une tige mécanique 111 dont l'une des extrémités est surmontée d'un plateau circulaire 113b relié à ladite tige 111 avec un large rayon de raccordement 113a, l'ensemble pouvant coulisser dans la partie creuse de la structure 114 qui enferme un élément visco-éléastique 121 .A second set of means 12 formed of flexible or damping means made of bio-compatible viscoelastic materials, accepting repeated elastic deformations. It is the combination of these two sets of means that allows the invention to work The first set of means 11 comprises four mechanical structures 110, 112, 114, 116 which have the function of transmitting the forces, without deforming, and to which the device 1 is subjected. The mechanical structure 110 consists of a mechanical rod 111 one end of which is surmounted by a circular plate 113b connected to said rod 111 with a large connection radius 113a, the assembly being able to slide in the hollow part of the structure 114 which encloses a viscoelastic element 121.
La structure mécanique 112 est un capuchon muni d'un taraudage 117 permettant la fixation de ladite structure 112 sur la structure 114; le moyen 112 dispose d'un épaulement 118 qui permet d'enfermer entre le plateau 113b et lui-même une rondelle viscoélastique 121.The mechanical structure 112 is a cap provided with a thread 117 allowing the fixing of said structure 112 on the structure 114; the means 112 has a shoulder 118 which makes it possible to enclose between the plate 113b and itself a viscoelastic washer 121.
La structure mécanique 114 est constituée de deux cylindres creux dont l'un est taraudé pour permettre la fixation d'une tige 116 à embout filetéThe mechanical structure 114 consists of two hollow cylinders, one of which is tapped to allow the fixing of a rod 116 with threaded end
Les moyens 110 et 116 viennent se fixer sur les vertèbres pour permettre le fonctionnement du dispositif 1.The means 110 and 116 are fixed on the vertebrae to allow the operation of the device 1.
Le deuxième ensemble de moyens 12 est constitué des deux moyens viscoélastiques 121 et 122.The second set of means 12 consists of the two viscoelastic means 121 and 122.
Le premier moyen 121 est de préférence une rondelle qui laisse coulisser en son centre la tige 111 Le deuxième moyen 122 est un disque plein en matériau viscoélastique. Ces deux rondelles 121 et 122 peuvent subir des efforts de compression qui peuvent être non uniformément répartis , elles ont été conçues pour résister sans se rompre à de nombreuses sollicitations cycliques de fatigue , des essais ont été effectués dans ce sens , les moyens 121 et 122 peuvent subir ces épreuves en se déformant élastiquement autant de fois que nécessaire .
Le matériau choisi est de préférence un polyuréthane bio-compatible; grâce à leur intégration à l'intérieur des moyens mécaniques 110 , 112, 114,116, les moyens viscoélastiques 121 et 122 sont protégés par les précédentes structures mécaniques de l'environnement agressif du corps humain, cela évite notamment la formation de fibres autour de ces moyens qui pourraient altérer les propriétés viscoélastiques du matériau et par conséquent perturber le bon fonctionnement du dispositif 1.The first means 121 is preferably a washer which lets the rod 111 slide in its center. The second means 122 is a solid disc made of viscoelastic material. These two washers 121 and 122 can undergo compression forces which can be non-uniformly distributed, they have been designed to withstand without breaking numerous cyclic fatigue stresses, tests have been carried out in this direction, the means 121 and 122 can undergo these tests by deforming elastically as many times as necessary. The material chosen is preferably a bio-compatible polyurethane; thanks to their integration inside the mechanical means 110, 112, 114, 116, the viscoelastic means 121 and 122 are protected by the previous mechanical structures from the aggressive environment of the human body, this in particular avoids the formation of fibers around these means which could alter the viscoelastic properties of the material and therefore disturb the proper functioning of the device 1.
Ce dispositif 1 permet d'amortir les sollicitations en traction compression et flexion qu'il subit par l'intermédiaire des tiges 110 et 116 .Cette fonction est assurée du fait que le moyen 112 possède un orifice 119 suffisamment large pour permettre un débattement de la tige 111 et qu'il existe un jeu fonctionnel entre le plateau 113 et le corps creux du moyen 114; l'épaulement 118 sert de butée et maintient dans son logement la masse viscoélastiqueThis device 1 makes it possible to dampen the compressive and flexural stresses which it undergoes by means of the rods 110 and 116. This function is ensured by the fact that the means 112 has an orifice 119 sufficiently wide to allow the movement of the rod 111 and that there is a functional clearance between the plate 113 and the hollow body of the means 114; the shoulder 118 serves as a stop and keeps the viscoelastic mass in its housing
121 ainsi enfermée.121 thus shut up.
Dans le cas où on désire travailler en mode uniaxial de traction compression, le moyen 112 est remplacé par un autre moyen 115 équipé d'un filetage 117, qui comprend un capuchon 115c, dont l'orifice 119 est ajusté au diamètre de la tige 110 en se prolongeant par un guidage 115aIn the case where it is desired to work in uniaxial compression compression mode, the means 112 is replaced by another means 115 equipped with a thread 117, which includes a cap 115c, the orifice 119 of which is adjusted to the diameter of the rod 110 extending by a guide 115a
Ce dispositif 1 est donc capable de réagir dynamiquement aux sollicitations appliquées. Il est indispensable que la structure 114 comporte un alésage 114a pour permettre un guidage sans frottement excessif de la tige 110 dans ledit moyen 114.This device 1 is therefore capable of reacting dynamically to the stresses applied. It is essential that the structure 114 includes a bore 114a to allow guidance without excessive friction of the rod 110 in said means 114.
L'ajustement du diamètre des rondelles viscoélastiques 121 etAdjusting the diameter of the viscoelastic washers 121 and
122 doit être effectué avec précision pour leur permettre de s'écraser librement jusqu'à un seuil d'effort correspondant à un point de contact de l'alésage 114a du moyen 114
Une variante de l'ensemble des moyens 11 comprend des structures métalliques ayant les mêmes fonctions que les structures122 must be carried out with precision to allow them to crush freely up to a force threshold corresponding to a contact point of the bore 114a of the means 114 A variant of all of the means 11 comprises metallic structures having the same functions as the structures
110, 112, 114, 116 , mais l'assemblage de ces trois pièces110, 112, 114, 116, but the assembly of these three parts
( 110,130,131) étant d'un encombrement plus faible que celui des structures précédemment décrites (fig 2)(110,130,131) being of smaller dimensions than that of the structures previously described (fig 2)
La tige 131 se fixe au capot 130 par l'intermédiaire d'un filetage situé sur l'épaulement 132 de la tige.The rod 131 is fixed to the cover 130 by means of a thread located on the shoulder 132 of the rod.
Dans le cas de cette variante les possibilités de déplacement de la tige 110 soumise aux sollicitations en flexion sont assurées par le jeu 119 situé entre le capot 130 et la tige 110.In the case of this variant, the possibilities of displacement of the rod 110 subjected to the flexural stresses are ensured by the clearance 119 located between the cover 130 and the rod 110.
Pour un fonctionnement uniaxial du dispositif 1 , on préférera utiliser les moyens 110,112, 114, 116 qui procurent un meilleur guidage de la tige 110. si on a besoin d'un encombrement réduit , on utilisera de préférence les moyens 110, 130, 131. Le Dispositif 1 est capable de fonctionner avec des tiges 110 et 131 se déplaçant sur des axes concourants (fig 13) avec un petit angle de déplacement et selon des débattements déterminés.For a uniaxial operation of the device 1, it is preferable to use the means 110, 112, 114, 116 which provide better guidance of the rod 110. if a reduced size is required, the means 110, 130, 131 will preferably be used. The Device 1 is capable of operating with rods 110 and 131 moving on concurrent axes (fig 13) with a small displacement angle and according to determined deflections.
L'ensemble des moyens 12 sont alors composés de deux moyens viscoélastiques 141 et 142. Le moyen 141 est un cylindre plein de matière viscoélastique, biocompatible et dont la face en contact avec un plateau est inclinée. Le moyen 142 est une rondelle dont la face en contact avec le dos du plateau est incliné.All of the means 12 are then composed of two viscoelastic means 141 and 142. The means 141 is a cylinder full of viscoelastic material, biocompatible and whose face in contact with a plate is inclined. The means 142 is a washer whose face in contact with the back of the plate is inclined.
L'ensemble des moyens 11 (moyens rigides) sont identiques à ceux précédemment décrits, l'orifice 119 étant néanmoins ex- centré en fonction de l'angle choisi. La forme de l'orifice 119 est définie en fonction des débattements que l'on autorise à la tige 110.All of the means 11 (rigid means) are identical to those previously described, the orifice 119 nevertheless being off-center as a function of the angle chosen. The shape of the orifice 119 is defined as a function of the deflections that are allowed to the rod 110.
La tige 110 peut ainsi, grâce a ces nouvelles caractéristiques techniques, travailler en traction compression avec un angle donné par rapport à la tige 116 ou la tige 131 dans le cas ou l'orifice 119 est désaxé et ajusté à la tige 116 ou 131 (figures 14) .
La tige 110 formant un angle par rapport à la tige 116 ou 131 (cas ou l'orifice 119 est de forme oblongue et décentré) peut dans ce cas travailler aussi bien en traction compression qu'en flexion latérale, (f ty iβ) La tige 110 peut travailler en traction compression et en flexion selon un axe privilégié qui peut être par exemple dans le plan sagittal du rachis , et ceci de part et d'autre d'une position donnée de la tige 110 formant au repos un angle avec la tige 116 ou la tige 131, ceci, toujours de le cas ou le moyen 119 est de forme oblongue et décentré, (fig 16)The rod 110 can thus, thanks to these new technical characteristics, work in compression traction with a given angle relative to the rod 116 or the rod 131 in the case where the orifice 119 is offset and adjusted to the rod 116 or 131 ( Figures 14). The rod 110 forming an angle with respect to the rod 116 or 131 (case where the orifice 119 is oblong and off-center) can in this case work as well in compression compression as in lateral bending, (f ty i β ) The rod 110 can work in tension compression and in bending along a privileged axis which can be for example in the sagittal plane of the spine, and this on either side of a given position of the rod 110 forming at rest an angle with the rod 116 or the rod 131, this, always in the case where the means 119 is oblong and off-center, (fig 16)
Enfin la tige 110 peut travailler en traction compression et en flexion dans toutes les directions, formant un angle par rapport à la tige 116 ou 131 dans le cas où l'orifice 119 est décentré et plus large que le diamètre de la tige 110. (figure 17)
Finally, the rod 110 can work in tensile compression and in bending in all directions, forming an angle with respect to the rod 116 or 131 in the case where the orifice 119 is off-center and wider than the diameter of the rod 110. ( figure 17)
