Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for connecting a longitudinal beam to a bone, in particular a vertebral body, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a device with a fastening element for fixing a pedicle screw or a pedicle hook to a side member is known from EP 0 572 790.
- the fastening element is firmly connected to the pedicle screw or pedicle hook and comprises a tilting element which can be rotated about an axis of rotation which is perpendicular to the central axis of the fastening element and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal beam.
- the longitudinal member lies on the upper surface of the tilting element which is curved coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal member and is pressed against the tilting element by means of a tensioning element.
- the lower surface of the tilting element which is curved coaxially to the axis of rotation, lies on the complementary bottom of the channel in the fastening element.
- a disadvantage of this known device is that the lower surface of the tilting element, together with the base, only form a non-positive connection, so that with larger torques effective around the axis of rotation, an undesired rotation between the longitudinal member and the pedicle screw or pedicle hook can occur.
- the invention seeks to remedy this.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device which allows a positive locking of a hinge for relative rotation between the longitudinal beam and bone anchoring element.
- the invention solves this problem with a device for connecting a longitudinal beam to a bone, in particular a vertebral body, which has the features of claim 1.
- the second contact surface K2 forming the channel bottom has the three-dimensional macroscopic structuring.
- the connecting element having the macroscopic structure is preferably made from a harder material than the tilting element, for example from a titanium alloy or a Ti / Al / niobium alloy.
- the softer tilting element is preferably made of pure titanium. It can thereby be achieved that when the clamping means are tightened, the macroscopic structure on the contact surface K2 of the harder connecting element is pressed into the softer tilting element, so that a positive connection between the two parts is produced.
- a torque exerted on the longitudinal beam by the lever forces of the bone anchoring element cannot therefore lead to a displacement of the two contact surfaces K1; K2 relative to one another, so that the angle between the central axis of the bone anchoring element and the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal beam when the bone anchoring element is fixed on the longitudinal beam is not changed at high torques, so that stable stabilization can be produced, for example, from adjacent vertebral bodies.
- the two contact surfaces K1; K2 have a three-dimensional macroscopic structuring, the three-dimensional macroscopic structuring preferably being configured by complementary toothing with teeth parallel to the axis of rotation. It is thereby achievable that the positive connection between the connecting part and the tilting element can be achieved without deformation of one of the two parts.
- the three-dimensional macroscopic structuring can comprise pyramid-shaped or conical teeth, or respectively truncated pyramid-shaped or truncated-cone teeth, here - if both contact surfaces K1; K2 are provided with macroscopic structuring - the structuring can be complementary.
- the height of the three-dimensional macroscopic structuring measured perpendicular to the contact surface K1; K2 is preferably between 0.1 mm and 5 mm.
- the tilting element comprises an upper, concave surface which can be brought into radial contact with a longitudinal beam and has a groove which runs transversely to the axis of rotation and transversely to the central axis.
- the groove preferably has a recess in the middle between the two ends of the tilting element that intersect the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal member.
- the tilting element comprises, on its side surfaces transverse to the axis of rotation, a circular arc-shaped groove which is concentric to the axis of rotation and which is closed at the ends of the tilting element which intersect the longitudinal axis of the longitudinal member. Furthermore, two pins engaging in the grooves are attached to the connecting element. As a result, the connecting element and the tilting element are held together loosely, so that none of the parts can be lost during the implantation and nevertheless alignment of the longitudinal beam in situ is not hindered.
- the connecting element and the bone anchoring element are preferably made in one piece.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a front view of the embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
- FIG. 1 to 3 show an embodiment which, as the bone anchoring element 1, has a screw shaft 10 coaxial with the central axis 2 for screwing into a pedicle of a vertebral body.
- the two legs 22 laterally delimiting the channel 25 each have a fixed end 20 and a free end 21.
- the channel axis 27 is here perpendicular to the central axis 2.
- the channel 25 has a width b which is selected such that the longitudinal member 3 is held transversely to its longitudinal axis 6 by the legs 22.
- a bore 23 with an internal thread 24 is arranged in the connecting element 9, the bore axis of which is concentric with the central axis 2 and the internal diameter d of which is greater than the width b of the channel 25.
- the clamping means 13 are designed here as a clamping screw 12 with a shaft which can be screwed coaxially into the internal thread 24, which is preferably designed as a sawtooth thread, in the connecting element 9, a front end 14 and a rear end 15.
- An internal hexagon 16 for receiving a screwdriver is coaxially penetrating into the clamping screw 12 from the rear end 15 to the central axis 2.
- the tilting element 8 is arranged in the channel 25 at the fixed ends 20 of the two legs 22.
- the tilting element 8 is mounted in the channel 25 such that it can be rotated about an axis of rotation 7 which is transverse to the central axis 2 and transverse to the channel axis 27.
- the channel 25 towards the rear End 5 of the screw shaft 10 delimiting channel bottom 26 is concave.
- the channel bottom 26 delimits the channel 25 in a cross-sectional area that is orthogonal to the axis of rotation 7, viewed in the form of a circular arc, the center of the circular arc lying on the axis of rotation 7.
- the tilting element 8 comprises two side surfaces 37; 38 orthogonal to the axis of rotation 7, a lower surface 28 directed towards the fixed end 20 of the connecting element 9, which is convex, and an upper surface 29 directed against the free end 21 of the connecting element is concave.
- the lower, convex surface 28 is complementary to the channel floor 26, while the upper, concave surface 29 is designed such that a groove 36 is formed parallel to the longitudinal axis 6 of the longitudinal beam 3 for receiving the longitudinal beam 3, which is the middle between the two Tilting element 8, ends 39, 40 delimiting transverse to the channel axis 27, has a depression 30.
- a longitudinal member 3 inserted into the channel 25 is placed on the upper, concave surface 29 of the tilting element 8 and can be rotated about the axis of rotation 7 together with the tilting element 8.
- the side member 3 is pressed into the groove 36 and into the recess 36 and bent in the region of the recess 36, so that the fixation of the side member 3 is reinforced.
- the tensioning screw 12 is rounded at its front end 14 and can be pressed onto the surface of the longitudinal beam 3 inserted into the channel 25.
- the tensioning screw 12 comprises at its rear end 15 means 17 for receiving a screwdriver and is screwed into an internal thread 24 which is provided in a bore 23 penetrating from the free end 21 of the connecting element 9.
- the channel 25 is U-shaped and open towards the free end 21 of the connecting element 9, so that the bore 23 with the internal thread 24 is penetrated diametrically by the channel 25.
- the tilting element 8 is slidably mounted on the channel bottom 26.
- the tilting element 8 is rotated when it is rotated about the axis of rotation 7.
- the axis of rotation 7 is both perpendicular to the central axis 2 and perpendicular to the channel axis 27 and preferably falls axially on the central axis 2 with the point of contact between the front end 14 and Surface of the side member 3 together.
- the tilting element 8 comprises on its side surfaces 37; 38 two grooves 33, which are closed against the two ends 39; 40 of the tilting element 8 and are curved concentrically in the manner of a circular arc on their length lying between the ends 39; 40 to the axis of rotation 7.
- the channel floor 26 is provided with a macroscopic structure 35, which is designed here as a toothing and which can be pressed into the lower surface 28 of the tilting element 8 when the tensioning screws are tightened, so that a positive connection can be established between the connecting element 9 and the tilting element 8.
