Abstract
Description
Prothèse de tendon et en particulier de coiffe d'épaule
L'invention porte sur une prothèse de tendon et en particulier de coiffe d'épaule à placer entre le muscle moteur et l'os commandé.Tendon prosthesis and in particular shoulder cuff
The invention relates to a tendon prosthesis and in particular a shoulder cap to be placed between the motor muscle and the controlled bone.
Les tendons dont la fonction est de relier un muscle moteur à un os commandé sont sujets à de multiples traumatismes.Tendons whose function is to connect a motor muscle to a controlled bone are subject to multiple traumas.
En particulier, le tendon scapulohuméral qui relie le muscle commandant les mouvements du bras à lbumérus au dessous de Sa tête subit des déchirures par soulèvement d'une trop forte charge ou par glissement vers l'extérieur de sécrétions minérales se développant dans son sein.In particular, the scapulohumeral tendon which connects the muscle controlling the movements of the arm to the albumen below his head is torn by lifting too heavy a load or by sliding mineral secretions developing inside his breast.
C'est à l'exemple de ce tendon scapulohuméral plus communément dénommé coiffe d'épaule que l'on se référera dans ce qui suit quoi que l'invention s'applique très généralement à tous les tendons du corps humain qu'ils soient dans le prolongement d'un muscle long ou d'un muscle plat.It is with the example of this scapulohumeral tendon more commonly called shoulder cuff that one will refer in what follows whatever the invention applies very generally to all the tendons of the human body that they are in the extension of a long muscle or a flat muscle.
Jusqu'à ce jour la chirurgie ne peut que traiter les déchirures par des coutures plus ou moins efficaces et à leur tour traumatisantes, ce qui explique en partie le caractère récidivant de ces déchirures.Until now surgery can only treat tears with more or less effective seams and in turn traumatic, which partly explains the recurring nature of these tears.
L'invention a pour objet de mettre à la disposition des chirurgiens une prothèse de tendon permettant une intervention efficace et définitive, et pour ce faire, la prothèse se compose d'un sachet trapézoïdal en tissu légèrement élastique dont la grande base porte des lèvres destinées à être cousues de part et d'autre du muscle, une zone d'ancrage étant prévue au voisinage de la petite base.The object of the invention is to provide surgeons with a tendon prosthesis allowing an effective and definitive intervention, and to do this, the prosthesis consists of a trapezoidal bag of slightly elastic fabric whose large base carries lips intended to be sewn on either side of the muscle, an anchoring zone being provided in the vicinity of the small base.
On conçoit que le chirurgien, après avoir sectionné la partie détériorée du tendon, peut introduire la partie saine du coté muscle entre les lèvres et pratiquer des coutures classiques sur le bord des lèvres ou de lèvre à lèvre à travers la masse musculaire ou encore combiner ces deux modes de fixation.It is understood that the surgeon, after having severed the damaged part of the tendon, can introduce the healthy part of the muscle side between the lips and practice conventional stitching on the edge of the lips or from lip to lip through the muscle mass or even combine these two fixing methods.
Il peut ensuite ancrer l'autre extrémité de la prothèse dans la zone appropriée de l'os par tout moyen classique, clou, vis ou agrafe.He can then anchor the other end of the prosthesis in the appropriate area of the bone by any conventional means, nail, screw or staple.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, les lèvres sont constituées par les prolongements des faces latérales trapézoïdales du sachet, lequel contient un coussinet constitué par des replis intérieurs du tissu qui prolongent au moins l'une des faces latérales au delà de la couture, la zone d'ancrage étant avantageusement dépourvue de coussinet.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lips are formed by the extensions of the trapezoidal lateral faces of the bag, which contains a pad constituted by internal folds of the fabric which extend at least one of the lateral faces beyond the seam, the anchoring zone being advantageously devoid of pad.
La prothèse acquiert de la sorte une structure plus proche du tendon auquel elle se substitue ainsi qu'une relative souplesse et une certaine élasticité au bénéfice de la sauvegarde des tissus environnants.The prosthesis thus acquires a structure closer to the tendon which it replaces as well as a relative flexibility and a certain elasticity for the benefit of the safeguard of the surrounding tissues.
Un mode de réalisation de l'invention est maintenant décrit à titre d'exemple en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels: la figure 1 est une vue de face schématique de l'articulation de l épaule après mise en place d'une prothèse conforme à l'invention; la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de cette prothèse; lafigure3estunevueencoupeselonlalignelll-Illdelafigure2;et la figure 4 montre une prothèse destinée à se substituer à un autre tendon.An embodiment of the invention is now described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of the shoulder joint after fitting of a prosthesis according to the invention; Figure 2 is a perspective view of this prosthesis; lafigure3estunevueencoupeselonlalignelll-Illdelafigure2; and Figure 4 shows a prosthesis intended to replace another tendon.
On voit à la figure 1 la tête humérale 1 qui termine Ibumérus 2 sous la clavicule 3 au voisinage de la glène 4 de l'omoplate.We see in Figure 1 the humeral head 1 which ends Ibumérus 2 under the collarbone 3 in the vicinity of the glenoid 4 of the scapula.
La prothèse 5 est reliée par une couture 6 au muscle moteur 7 qui commande les rotations de lbumérus 2 autour de sa texte 1. Elle est d'autre part fixée par une vis 8 à l'extérieur de l'numéros 2 au dessous de la tête 1.The prosthesis 5 is connected by a seam 6 to the motor muscle 7 which controls the rotations of the albuminus 2 around its text 1. It is also fixed by a screw 8 on the outside of the number 2 below the head 1.
Comme on le voit mieux aux figures 2 et 3, la prothèse 5 est réalisée sous forme d'un sachet trapézoidal dont les faces supérieure g et inférieure I O sont reliées par une couture 11. Deux lèvres 12 et 13 ont été laissées libres au delà de la grande base du trapèze d'une part par une découpe de la tranche latérale 14, d'autre part par interruption de la couture au même niveau. Ces lèvres permettent d'introduire la portion saine 15 entre elles et de pratiquer la couture 6 soit en bordure en Sa, soit de lèvre à lèvre à travers la masse musculaire en 6b. Dans l'exemple décrit, ces deux modes de couture ont été combines.As best seen in Figures 2 and 3, the prosthesis 5 is produced in the form of a trapezoidal sachet, the upper g and lower IO faces of which are connected by a seam 11. Two lips 12 and 13 have been left free beyond the large base of the trapezium on the one hand by cutting the lateral edge 14, on the other hand by interrupting the seam at the same level. These lips make it possible to introduce the healthy portion 15 therebetween and to practice sewing 6 either at the edge in Sa, or from lip to lip through the muscle mass at 6b. In the example described, these two sewing modes have been combined.
La figure 3 montre qu'audelà de la couture la face inférieure 10 forme à l'intérieur du sachet deux replis successifs 16 qui procurent une surépaisseur conférant à la prothèse une structure semblable à celle de la coiffe d'origine lui donnant plus de souplesse et d'élasticité.Figure 3 shows that beyond the seam the underside 10 forms inside the bag two successive folds 16 which provide an extra thickness giving the prosthesis a structure similar to that of the original cap giving it more flexibility and of elasticity.
Les replis 16 s'interrompent au niveau de la couture 1 1 pour ne pas empiéter sur les lèvres. Ils s'interrompent également peu avant la petite base 17 du trapèze pour faciliter la tenue de la prothèse par la vis 6 qui traverse l'orifice i # prévu à cet effet. The folds 16 are interrupted at the seam 11 so as not to encroach on the lips. They are also interrupted shortly before the small base 17 of the trapezium to facilitate the holding of the prosthesis by the screw 6 which crosses the orifice i # provided for this purpose.
La figure 4 montre une prothèse 19 cousue en 20 sur. un muscle 21 qui est un muscle plat au lieu d'un muscle long. Le sachet, de même conception que le précédent, est tout simplement plus large et plus ouvert. Il a été constaté qu'il est dans ce cas préférable d'utiliser pour la fixation sur l'os une agrafe 22 qui emprisonne la partie de la prothèse dépourvue de surépaisseur au voisinnage de sa base. Figure 4 shows a prosthesis 19 sewn into 20 on. a muscle 21 which is a flat muscle instead of a long muscle. The bag, with the same design as the previous one, is simply wider and more open. It was found that in this case it is preferable to use for fixing to the bone a clip 22 which traps the part of the prosthesis devoid of excess thickness in the vicinity of its base.
Le tissu utilisé pour de telles prothèses est de préférence un tissu tricoté en un matériau synthétique convenable, ce qui lui confère une certaine élasticité. The fabric used for such prostheses is preferably a fabric knitted from a suitable synthetic material, which gives it a certain elasticity.
Ses bords libres et la couture sont traités par la chaleur jusqu'au point de fusion du matériau pour éviter l'éffilochage.Its free edges and the seam are heat treated to the melting point of the material to prevent fraying.
La fabrication de telles prothèses même avec toutes les précautions nécessaires pour un corps destiné à être implanté est relativement aisée ce qui permet de mettre a' la disposition du corps chirurgical des gammes complètes couvrant toutes les tailles en longueur et en largeur, ainsi que, pour chaque taille, toutes les ouvertures et conformations nécessaires. Le chirurgien peut en effet avoir besoin pour une même taille de prothèses plus ou moins ouvertes et meme dissymétriques. The manufacture of such prostheses even with all the necessary precautions for a body intended to be implanted is relatively easy, which makes it possible to make available to the surgical body complete ranges covering all sizes in length and in width, as well as, for each size, all the necessary openings and conformations. The surgeon may indeed need more or less open and even asymmetrical prostheses for the same size.
