Description

PATTE DE FIXATION POUR UNE ROTULE DE PROTHESE
La présente invention concerne les pattes de fixation pour des rotules de prothèses du type fémoral, en l'occurrence la partie mâle de ces rotules.FIXING BRACKET FOR A PROSTHETIC BALL JOINT
The present invention relates to the fixing lugs for ball joints of prostheses of the femoral type, in this case the male part of these ball joints.

Il est déjà connu un certain nombre de réalisations de pattes de fixation pour soutenir la partie mâle d'une rotule de prothèse du type fémoral, c'est-à-dire de pattes destinées à être disposées par enfichage dans le canal médulaire d'un os long. Les réalisations actuelles de ces pattes comportent une queue terminée par une tête de fixation sur laquelle est généralement disposée, par un emboitement du type conique, une partie mâle d'une rotule comportant essentiellement une portion de sphère. Le problème qui se pose pour la fixation d'une telle patte dans un os long est la solidité et la durée de la fixation car il est bien évident que l'on ne peut pas intervenir souvent pour la consolider. It is already known a certain number of embodiments of fixing lugs for supporting the male part of a prosthetic ball joint of the femoral type, that is to say of legs intended to be arranged by plugging into the medular canal of a long bone. The current embodiments of these legs include a tail terminated by a fixing head on which is generally disposed, by a conical type socket, a male part of a ball joint essentially comprising a portion of a sphere. The problem which arises for the fixing of such a leg in a long bone is the solidity and the duration of the fixing because it is quite obvious that one cannot often intervene to consolidate it.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une patte de fixation pour une rotule de prothèse du type fémoral, dans le canal médulaire d'un os long, ayant une structure qui lui permet une coopération rigide avec l'os et une fixation fiable pendant un temps relativement long, mais aussi, en cas de besoin après une intervention chirurgicale, une dissociation d'avec l'os relativement aisée. The object of the present invention is to produce a fixing lug for a prosthetic kneecap of the femoral type, in the medular canal of a long bone, having a structure which allows it to rigid cooperation with the bone and reliable fixing during a relatively long time, but also, if necessary after surgery, a relatively easy dissociation from the bone.

Plus précisément, la présente invention a pour objet une patte de fixation pour une rotule de prothèse du type fémoral apte à être fixée dans le canal médulaire d'un os long, ladite patte comportant au moins une queue et une tête de fixation solidaire d'une extrémité de ladite queue, la tête de fixation étant apte à coopérer avec la partie mâle de la rotule, caractérisée par le fait que ladite queue est constituée par une pièce oblongue délimitée par deux faces opposées situées dans deux plans sensiblement parallèles, la distance séparant lea deux dits plans étant inférieure à 11 épaisseur dudit canal médulaire de l'os long dans lequel elle est destinée à être enfichée, les deux bords opposés de ladite pièce oblongue compris entre les deux dits plans étant séparés d'une distance sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur dudit canal médulaire. More specifically, the subject of the present invention is a fixing lug for a prosthetic ball joint of the femoral type capable of being fixed in the medular canal of a long bone, said lug comprising at least one tail and a fixing head secured to one end of said tail, the fixing head being able to cooperate with the male part of the ball joint, characterized in that said tail is constituted by an oblong piece delimited by two opposite faces situated in two substantially parallel planes, the distance separating the two said planes being less than the thickness of said medular canal of the long bone in which it is intended to be inserted, the two opposite edges of said oblong piece lying between the two said planes being separated by a distance substantially equal to l thickness of said medular canal.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaftront au cours de la description suivante donnée en regard des dessins annexés à titre illustratif mais nullement limitatif dans lesquels
La figure 1 représente, dans une vue légèrement en perspective cavalière, un mode de réalisation d'une patte selon l'invention et,
La figure 2 une vue en coupe de la patte selon la figure 1 et référencée II-II sur cette figure.Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the following description given with reference to the drawings annexed by way of illustration but in no way limitative in which
FIG. 1 represents, in a slightly perspective view, an embodiment of a tab according to the invention and,
Figure 2 a sectional view of the tab according to Figure 1 and referenced II-II in this figure.

Les figures représentent une patte de fixation 1 pour une rotule de prothèse destinée à être enfichée dans le canal médulaire 2 d'un os du type long 3 représenté en traits interrompus, par exemple un fémur. Cette patte 1 comporte essentiellement deux parties, une première partie 4 constituant une queue apte à être enfichée dans le canal médulaire 2 et une seconde partie constituant une tête de fixation 5 solidaire d'une extrémité 6 de la queue 4, cette tête 5 étant destinée à coopérer avec la partie mâle 7 d'une rotule, par exemple une portion de sphère évoquée sur le dessin en traits interrompus. ta structure d'une telle tête 5 solidaire de l'extrémité 6 de la queue 4 étant connue en ellemême ne sera pas plus amplement décrite ici. The figures represent a fixing lug 1 for a prosthesis ball intended to be inserted in the medular canal 2 of a bone of the long type 3 represented in broken lines, for example a femur. This tab 1 essentially comprises two parts, a first part 4 constituting a tail able to be inserted into the medular channel 2 and a second part constituting a fixing head 5 secured to one end 6 of the tail 4, this head 5 being intended to cooperate with the male part 7 of a ball joint, for example a portion of a sphere mentioned in the drawing in broken lines. your structure of such a head 5 secured to the end 6 of the tail 4 being known in itself will not be described more fully here.

La queue 4 est essentiellement constituée par une pièce oblongue 10, par exemple en métal comme du titane, affectant sensiblement la forme d'un tronc pyramidal. The tail 4 is essentially constituted by an oblong piece 10, for example made of metal such as titanium, substantially affecting the shape of a pyramidal trunk.

Cependant, plus particulièrement, cette pièce oblongue 10 comporte deux faces opposées 11, 12 situées sensiblement dans deux plans 13, 14 sensiblement parallèles séparés d'une distance inférieure à l'épaisseur du canal médulaire 2. De plus, les deux autres côtés opposés 15, 16 de la pièce oblongue compris entre les deux plans 13, 14 ont des formes sensiblement convexes et sont distants l'un de l'autre d'une longueur sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur du canal médulaire 2. Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, ces bords ont une convexité la plus proche possible de celle du canal médulaire afin que, lorsque la queue est enfichée dans ce canal, ces deux côtés 15, 16 viennent le plus possible au contact de la paroi du canal médulaire qui est en os compact, afin d'assurer un maintien latéral des plus rigides.  However, more particularly, this oblong part 10 has two opposite faces 11, 12 located substantially in two planes 13, 14 substantially parallel separated by a distance less than the thickness of the medular channel 2. In addition, the two other opposite sides 15 , 16 of the oblong part lying between the two planes 13, 14 have substantially convex shapes and are spaced from each other by a length substantially equal to the thickness of the medular channel 2. In an advantageous embodiment , these edges have a convexity as close as possible to that of the medular canal so that, when the tail is plugged into this canal, these two sides 15, 16 come as close as possible to the wall of the medular canal which is made of compact bone , to ensure the most rigid lateral support.

De plus, les deux faces 11, 12 situées dans les deux plans parallèles 13, 14 comportent des ondulations 17 orientées de telle façon que leur sommet soit sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal 18 de la pièce oblongue 10. Ces ondulations présentent l'avantage d'augmenter la surface de contact avec un élément de fixation, par exemple de la colle du type ciment 19, qui sera coulé dans le canal médulaire essentiellement de part et d'autre de cette pièce pour combler ce canal et ainsi parfaitement solidariser la queue 4 avec l'os 3, comme cela parait clairement illustré sur la figure 2. In addition, the two faces 11, 12 located in the two parallel planes 13, 14 have corrugations 17 oriented so that their apex is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 18 of the oblong part 10. These corrugations have the advantage to increase the contact surface with a fixing element, for example cement type glue 19, which will be poured into the medular channel essentially on either side of this part to fill this channel and thus perfectly secure the tail 4 with bone 3, as this appears clearly illustrated in FIG. 2.

Une telle patte de fixation présente essentiellement deux avantages. Les deux côtés 15, 16 ayant une forme convexe et étant séparés d'une distance parfaitement adaptée à l'épaisseur du canal médulaire, la queue peut s'associer plus directement avec l'os compact et donc résister aux efforts auxquels elle peut être soumise quand elle est implantée, par exemple, dans le fémur d'un patient. Par ailleurs, les deux faces opposées 11, 12 distantes d'une valeur nettement inférieure à l'épaisseur du canal médulaire permettent de pouvoir couler de part et d'autre de la queue 4 le ciment 19 et l'orientation des ondulations 17 sensiblement parallèle à l'axe longitudinal 18 de la pièce oblongue permet de sortir la patte, si cela s' avère nécessaire, en exerçant une traction relativement faible, ces ondulations jouant même le rôle de guide dans cette extraction.  Such a mounting lug essentially has two advantages. The two sides 15, 16 having a convex shape and being separated by a distance perfectly suited to the thickness of the medular canal, the tail can associate more directly with the compact bone and therefore resist the forces to which it may be subjected. when it is implanted, for example, in a patient's femur. Furthermore, the two opposite faces 11, 12 distant by a value significantly less than the thickness of the medular channel make it possible to be able to flow on either side of the tail 4 the cement 19 and the orientation of the corrugations 17 substantially parallel at the longitudinal axis 18 of the oblong part allows the tab to come out, if this proves necessary, by exerting a relatively weak traction, these undulations even playing the role of guide in this extraction.
