Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'arthrodèse vertébrale, du type de ceux utilisés pour immobiliser une portion du rachis, par exemple en cas de dégénérescence pathologique entre deux vertèbres, ou pour redresser et étayer un rachis objet de déviations telles que scolioses, cyphoses ou spondylolistésis. The present invention relates to a device for vertebral arthrodesis, of the type used to immobilize a portion of the spine, for example in the case of pathological degeneration between two vertebrae, or to straighten and support a spine subject to deviations such as scoliosis, kyphosis or spondylolisthesis.
Un tel dispositif comprend généralement - au moins une tige rigide d'étayage du rachis, destinée à être placée parallèlement à l'axe du rachis, d'un côté des apophyses épineuses des vertèbres, - des organes d'ancrage du dispositif aux vertèbres, généralement vis ou crochets pédiculaires, dont les têtes sont conformées pour recevoir une tige d'étayage, et - organes de verrouillage, pouvant être mis en place sur ces têtes pour verrouiller cette tige à ces têtes. Such a device generally comprises - at least one rigid shaft for supporting the spine, intended to be placed parallel to the axis of the spine, on one side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae, - anchoring members of the device to the vertebrae, generally screws or pedicle hooks, whose heads are shaped to receive a shoring rod, and - locking members, can be put in place on these heads to lock this rod to these heads.
dispositif peut également comprendre des traverses qui relient les tiges d'étayage l'une à l'autre transversalement. device may also include cross members that connect the shoring rods to one another transversely.
tête d'un organe d'ancrage présente fréquemment une forme "en diapason", c'est-à-dire comprend deux parois saillantes délimitant entre elles un canal de réception d'une tige d'étayage. L'organe verrouillage correspondant est fréquemment constitué par un écrou, un bouchon fileté ou un cavalier venant en prise avec cette tête, pour serrer tige entre lui et cette tête. The head of an anchoring member frequently has a "tuning fork" shape, that is to say comprises two projecting walls delimiting between them a receiving channel of a shoring rod. The corresponding locking member is frequently constituted by a nut, a threaded plug or a rider coming into engagement with this head, for clamping rod between him and this head.
En pratique, les vis ou crochets sont implanté(e)s dans les vertèbres et chaque tige est déformée de manière adéquate pour être adaptée à la correction du rachis à réaliser. In practice, the screws or hooks are implanted in the vertebrae and each rod is deformed adequately to be adapted to the correction of the spine to achieve.
Les vertèbres sont ensuite déplacées de manière à amener les têtes de ces vis ou crochets en prise avec la ou les tiges, réalisant ainsi la correction. The vertebrae are then moved so as to bring the heads of these screws or hooks in engagement with the rod or rods, thus realizing the correction.
Cette opération est en pratique relativement difficile et délicate à réaliser, compte tenu des contraintes à exercer sur les vertèbres en cas de déviation du rachis ou de spondylolistésis, et de nécessité de maintenir les têtes des différentes vis en prise provisoire avec les tiges le temps que lesdits organes de verrouillage soient mis en place et serrés. This operation is in practice relatively difficult and difficult to perform, given the constraints to be exerted on the vertebrae in case of deviation of the spine or spondylolistésis, and need to maintain the heads of the various screws in temporary engagement with the rods the time that said locking members are in place and tightened.
En outre, le défaut de conformation de l'une ou des deux tiges peut amener à devoir libérer cette ou ces tiges pour réaliser la modification nécessaire, ce qui oblige à des opérations relativement longues et fastidieuses, de démontage des organes de verrouillage, déplacement des vertèbres et remontage de ces organes de verrouillage. In addition, the lack of conformation of one or both rods may result in having to release this or these rods to achieve the necessary modification, which requires relatively long and tedious operations, disassembly of the locking members, displacement of vertebrae and reassembly of these locking members.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients pratiques importants. The present invention aims to remedy these important practical disadvantages.
Le dispositif qu'elle concerne comprend, de manière connue en soi, au moins une tige d'étayage, des organes d'ancrage dont les têtes sont conformées pour recevoir une tige d'étayage, et des organes de verrouillage de la ou des tiges sur les organes d'ancrage, tels que précités. The device it concerns comprises, in a manner known per se, at least one shoring rod, anchoring members whose heads are shaped to receive a shoring rod, and locking members of the rod or rods on the anchoring members, as mentioned above.
Selon l'invention, chaque organe d'ancrage comprend au moins deux fils dont un est situé d'un côté de la tête de l'organe d'ancrage et l'autre situé d'un autre côté de ce même organe d'ancrage, dans une direction transversale à la tige d'étayage destinée à être assemblée à cet organe d'ancrage ; ces fils présentent une longueur telle que la tige d'étayage devant être assemblée à l'organe d'ancrage peut être engagée entre , sont en un matériau tel qu'ils peuvent être torsadés l'un avec l'autre après engagement de la tige entre eux, de manière à prendre appui contre cette tige et à permettre le rapprochement progressif de celle-ci de ladite tête, et sont placés l'un par rapport à l'autre de manière telle qu'ils gênent pas, une fois torsadés, la mise en place de l'organe verrouillage correspondant. According to the invention, each anchoring member comprises at least two wires, one of which is situated on one side of the head of the anchoring member and the other located on the other side of this same anchoring member. in a direction transverse to the shoring rod intended to be assembled to this anchoring member; these wires have a length such that the shoring rod to be assembled to the anchoring member can be engaged between, are of a material such that they can be twisted with each other after engagement of the rod between them, so as to bear against this rod and to allow the progressive approximation thereof of said head, and are placed relative to each other in such a way that they do not interfere, once twisted, the establishment of the corresponding locking member.
L'opération de déplacement des vertèbres en vue d'amener têtes organes d'ancrage en prise avec une tige d'étayage est ainsi relativement simple et rapide à réaliser, dans de parfaites conditions sécurite, en engageant les fils de chaque organe d'ancrage autour de la tige d'étayage et en trosadant ces fils jusqu'à venue de cette tige à proximite ladite tete de l'organe d'ancrage. Les fils maintiennent alors provisoirement la tige d'étayage dans cette position, pour permettre de vérifier si conformation de cette tige est adéquate ou non. Dans le cas où cette conformation ne conviendrait pas, les fils peuvent être détorsadés, totalement ou partiellement, pour libérer la tige, selon une opération également simple et rapide à réaliser, puis être torsadés à nouveau pour ramener la tige près de l'organe d'ancrage. The operation of moving the vertebrae in order to bring anchor heads into engagement with a shoring rod is thus relatively simple and quick to achieve, in perfect safety conditions, by engaging the son of each anchor member around the shoring rod and trosadant these son until the coming of this rod near said head of the anchoring member. The wires then temporarily hold the shoring rod in this position, to make it possible to check whether the conformation of this rod is adequate or not. In the case where this conformation is not suitable, the son can be detorsed, totally or partially, to release the rod, according to an operation also simple and quick to achieve, then be twisted again to bring the rod near the body of anchor.
La mise en place des organes de verrouillage est facile, la tige étant maintenue sur les têtes des différents organes d'ancrage. Une fois cette mise en placé réalisée, les fils sont coupés au ras des têtes des organes d'ancrage. Chaque organe d'ancrage peut comprendre seulement deux fils tels que précités ou peut avantageusement comprendre au moins deux fils supplémentaires, formant au moins une autre paire de tels fils, décalée dans le sens axial de la tige d'étayage par rapport au deux premiers fils cités. The establishment of the locking members is easy, the rod being held on the heads of the various anchoring members. Once placed in place, the son are cut flush with the heads of the anchors. Each anchoring member may comprise only two wires as mentioned above or may advantageously comprise at least two additional wires, forming at least one other pair of such wires, offset in the axial direction of the shoring rod relative to the first two wires. cited.
Cette pluralité de paires de fils permet d'assurer un parfait rapprochement de la tige d'étayage et des organes d'ancrage. This plurality of pairs of wires ensures a perfect approximation of the support rod and anchoring members.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, a titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif d'arthrodèse qu'elle concerne. For a good understanding, the invention is again described below with reference to the attached schematic drawing showing, by way of non-limiting example, a preferred embodiment of the arthrodesis device it relates.
figure 1 en est une vue de côté, en cours de pose sur un rachis présentant un spondylolistésis ; figure 2 est une vue de côté d'un organe d'ancrage comprend ; figures 3 à 7 sont des vues de cet organe d'ancrage, ainsi que d'une tige d'étayage et d'un organe de verrouillage que comprend également dispositif, au cours de différentes étapes d'implantation dispositif ; figure 8 est une vue en perspective dudit organe d'ancrage, selon une variante, et figure 9 est une vue d'un autre type d'organe d'ancrage. La figure 1 représente un dispositif 1 d'arthrodèse vertébrale, type de ceux utilisés pour immobiliser une portion d'un rachis 2 ou pour corriger une déviation de ce rachis. Dans l'exemple montré, le dispositif est implante pour corriger un spondylolistésis, c'est-à-dire le retrait d'une vertèbre 3a par rapport aux autres vertèbres 3 du rachis 2. Figure 1 is a side view, being placed on a spine with spondylolistésis; Figure 2 is a side view of an anchor member; Figures 3 to 7 are views of this anchoring member, as well as a support rod and a locking member that also comprises device, during different steps of device implantation; Figure 8 is a perspective view of said anchoring member, according to a variant, and Figure 9 is a view of another type of anchoring member. FIG. 1 represents a device 1 of vertebral arthrodesis, of the type used to immobilize a portion of a spine 2 or to correct a deviation of this spine. In the example shown, the device is implanted to correct a spondylolistesis, that is to say the removal of a vertebra 3a relative to the other vertebrae 3 of the spine 2.
dispositif comprend deux tiges rigides 5 d'étayage du rachis 2, des vis pédiculaires 6 d'ancrage du dispositif 1 aux vertèbres 3, des cavaliers 7 destinés à être mis en place sur les têtes de ces vis 6 afin verrouiller tiges 5 sur ces têtes. device comprises two rigid rods 5 for supporting the spine 2, pedicle screws 6 for anchoring the device 1 to the vertebrae 3, jumpers 7 intended to be put in place on the heads of these screws 6 to lock rods 5 on these heads .
deux tiges 5 sont destinées à être déformées de maniere adéquate pour être adaptées à la correction à réaliser, ainsi cela apparaît à figure 1, puis à être placées parallèlement à l'axe du rachis 2, de part et d'autre des apophyses épineuses des vertèbres 3. En se référant aux figures 2 à 8, il apparaît que chacune des vis 6 comprend un corps fileté 6a destiné à venir en prise avec une vertèbre 3, et ladite tête 6b. two rods 5 are intended to be deformed in an adequate manner to be adapted to the correction to be made, thus it appears in FIG. 1, then to be placed parallel to the axis of the spine 2, on either side of the spinous processes of the vertebrae 3. Referring to Figures 2 to 8, it appears that each of the screws 6 comprises a threaded body 6a for engaging with a vertebra 3, and said head 6b.
Cette dernière comprend deux paires de parois saillantes 10, délimitant entre elles un canal 11 de réception d'une tige 5, et quatre fils 12, 13 situés de part et d'autre de ces parois 10. The latter comprises two pairs of protruding walls 10 delimiting between them a channel 11 for receiving a rod 5, and four wires 12, 13 situated on either side of these walls 10.
Ces dernières sont dimensionnées de manière à être légèrement souples dans le sens transversal au canal<B>11,</B> afin de pouvoir, dans une position de rapprochement mutuel, serrer la tige 5 engagée entre elles. The latter are dimensioned so as to be slightly flexible in the direction transverse to the channel <B> 11, </ B> in order to be able, in a position of mutual approximation, to tighten the rod 5 engaged between them.
Parmi les fils 12, 13, deux fils 12 sont situés d'un côté de ce canal 11 et les deux autres fils 13 sont situés de l'autre côte de ce même canal. Chacun des ces fils 13 est situé en face, dans une direction transversale au canal 11, de l'un des fils 12. Among the son 12, 13, two son 12 are located on one side of this channel 11 and the other two son 13 are located on the other side of the same channel. Each of these wires 13 is located opposite, in a direction transverse to the channel 11, of one of the wires 12.
Les deux fils 12, 13 situés d'un même côté du canal 11 sont placés à une distance l'un de l'autre supérieure à la largeur d cavalier 7, ainsi que le montre la figure 6. The two son 12, 13 located on the same side of the channel 11 are placed at a distance from each other greater than the jumper width 7, as shown in Figure 6.
II apparaît aux figures que les fils 12, 13 presentent une longueur telle que chaque tige 5 peut être engagée entre les fils 12, 13 de chaque vis 6, qu'il s'agisse des vis 6 insérées dans les vertèbres 3 positionnées normalement ou des vis 6 insérées dans la vertèbre 3a dont la position doit être corrigée. It appears from the figures that the wires 12, 13 have a length such that each rod 5 can be engaged between the wires 12, 13 of each screw 6, whether the screws 6 inserted in the vertebrae 3 positioned normally or the 6 screws inserted into the vertebra 3a whose position must be corrected.
Ces fils 12, 13 sont en un matériau métallique tel qu'ils peuvent être torsadés l'un avec l'autre (figure 4) après engagement de la tige 5 entre eux (figure 3). Ils peuvent ainsi prendre appui contre cette tige et permettre le rapprochement progressif de celle-ci et de la ' 6, jusqu'à venue la tige 5 dans le canal 1 1 (figure 5). These son 12, 13 are made of a metallic material such that they can be twisted with each other (Figure 4) after engagement of the rod 5 between them (Figure 3). They can thus bear against this rod and allow the progressive approximation thereof and the '6, until the rod 5 comes into the channel 1 1 (Figure 5).
Chaque cavalier 7 présente une forme globalement U inversé. Il est conformé pour entourer partiellement la tige 5, et les deux branches latérales de ce cavalier 7 sont conformées pour venir en appui contre les faces extérieures des parois 10. Each jumper 7 has a globally inverted U shape. It is shaped to partially surround the rod 5, and the two lateral branches of this jumper 7 are shaped to bear against the outer faces of the walls 10.
La tête 6b comprend deux trous taraudés 15 (cf. figures 8 et 9) de part d'autre du canal 11, et lesdites branches latérales du cavalier 7 sont percées longitudinalement de deux trous venant en regard de ces trous 1 lorsque le cavalier 7 est mis en place sur la tête 6b. The head 6b comprises two tapped holes 15 (see FIGS. 8 and 9) on either side of the channel 11, and said lateral branches of the rider 7 are pierced longitudinally with two holes coming opposite these holes 1 when the rider 7 is set up on the head 6b.
Ces trous peuvent recevoir des vis 16 de serrage du cavalier 7 contre tête 6b (figures 6 et 7). L'ensemble est conformé de telle sorte que branches latérales déplacent les parois 10 vers leur position de rapprochement mutuel lors déplacement du cavalier 7 en direction de la tête 6b résultant du serrage de ces vis 16. These holes can receive screws 16 clamping the jumper 7 against head 6b (Figures 6 and 7). The assembly is shaped so that lateral branches move the walls 10 towards their mutual position when moving the jumper 7 towards the head 6b resulting from the tightening of these screws 16.
pratique, les vis 6 sont implantées puis chaque tige 5 est engagée entre les fils 12, 13 des vis correspondantes. Les fils 1 13 sont alors trosades jusqu'à venue des tiges 5 dans les canaux<B>11.</B> Ils permettent de maintenir provisoirement les tiges 5 dans cette position, pour permettre de vérifier si la conformation de ces tiges est adéquate ou non. Dans le cas où cette conformation ne conviendrait pas, les fils 12, 13 peuvent être détorsadés, totalement ou partiellement, pour libérer la ou les tiges 5, puis être torsadés à nouveau pour ramener cette ou ces tiges 5 dans canaux 11. In practice, the screws 6 are implanted then each rod 5 is engaged between the wires 12, 13 of the corresponding screws. The son 1 13 are then trosades until the rods 5 come into the channels <B> 11. </ B> They allow to temporarily hold the rods 5 in this position, to allow to check if the conformation of these rods is adequate or not. In the case where this conformation is not suitable, the son 12, 13 may be totally or partially detorsed to release the rod or rods 5, and then be twisted again to bring this or these rods 5 into channels 11.
Lorsque ladite conformation est correcte, les cavaliers 7 sont mis en place et sont serrés au moyen des vis 16, après quoi les fils 12, 13 sont coupés au ras des têtes 6b. When said conformation is correct, the jumpers 7 are put in place and are tightened by means of the screws 16, after which the wires 12, 13 are cut flush with the heads 6b.
II apparaît ainsi que l'invention fournit ainsi un dispositif d'arthrodèse vertébrale remédiant aux inconvénients des dispositifs homologues de la technique antérieure. En effet, l'opération de déplacement des vertèbres en vue d'amener les têtes organes d'ancrage en prise avec les tiges d'étayage est rendue, grâce aux fils , relativement simple et rapide à réaliser, dans de parfaites conditions de sécurité, particulièrement en cas de scolioses ou de spondylolistésis impliquant l'exercice d'une contrainte importante sur le rachis pour l'amener en position de correction. It thus appears that the invention thus provides a vertebral arthrodesis device that overcomes the drawbacks of homologous devices of the prior art. Indeed, the operation of moving the vertebrae to bring the anchor heads into engagement with the shoring rods is rendered, thanks to the son, relatively simple and fast to achieve, in perfect safety conditions, particularly in cases of scoliosis or spondylolistésis involving the exercise of a significant stress on the spine to bring it in a position of correction.
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, chaque tête 6b peut ne comprendre qu'une seule paire de fils 12, 13, comme montré à la figure 8 ; le dispositif peut comprendre des crochets tels que montrés à la figure 9, pour son ancrage aux vertèbres, au niveau des lames, en complément ou en remplacement des vis 6, ainsi que des traverses reliant les tiges d'étayage l'une à l'autre transversalement.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it embraces, on the contrary, all the variants. Thus, each head 6b may comprise only one pair of wires 12, 13, as shown in Figure 8; the device may comprise hooks as shown in FIG. 9, for its anchoring to the vertebrae, at the level of the blades, in addition to or in replacement of the screws 6, as well as crosspieces connecting the shoring rods, one to the other transversely.
