Abstract

The implant has a part with a cylindrical or polygonal section that is split at its two ends. Slots (F) receive expansion wedges (C), where the wedges are traversed by cords (Cr). Tractions on the cords make the wedges to penetrate into the slots, when the implant is placed and a diaphyseal fracture is reduced, for producing a radial expansion of ends of the implant and its locking in a medullary cavity.

Description

L'ostéosynthèse des fractures de la diaphyse des os peut se faire deOsteosynthesis of bone diaphysis fractures can be performed

différentes manières. Son objectif est de restaurer l'anatomie d'un os fracturé, c'est-à-dire de maintenir l'os dans sa forme et sa dimension naturelle de façon stable et durable pendant la période de consolidation. Les méthodes courantes d'ostéosynthèse des fractures fermées sont : la plaque vissée, le clou centromédullaire ou le faisceau de broches souples. La plaque vissée nécessite pour sa mise en place une dissection extensive avec en particulier la désinsertion des parties molles sur une large surface osseuse. Mais elle a l'avantage de permettre une réduction anatomique sous contrôle de la vue, de stabiliser efficacement l'os et d'éviter au chirurgien l'exposition aux rayons X.  different ways. Its goal is to restore the anatomy of a fractured bone, that is to say to maintain the bone in its shape and its natural dimension in a stable and lasting way during the period of consolidation. The common methods of osteosynthesis of closed fractures are: the screwed plate, the intramedullary nail or the bundle of flexible pins. The screwed plate requires for its implementation an extensive dissection with in particular the disinsertion of the soft parts over a large bone surface. But it has the advantage of allowing an anatomical reduction under control of the eye, to stabilize the bone effectively and to avoid to the surgeon exposure to X-rays.

Le clou centromédullaire permet une ostéosynthèse sans abord du foyer de fracture mais nécessite une perforation d'une des extrémités de l'os qui souvent est proche d'une articulation. Il existe plusieurs modalités d'enclouage centro-médullaire. L'enclouage simple ne permet pas d'empêcher les mouvements de rotation axiale au niveau du foyer de fracture et nécessite souvent d'être complété par un système de verrouillage de la rotation. Parmi les différentes méthodes proposées pour le verrouillage du clou, le plus couramment utilisé est le verrouillage par des vis qui traversent l'os et le clou sous contrôle radiologique. Une autre méthode consiste à réaliser une expansion de l'extrémité distale du clou et de ne placer de vis à travers le clou que dans la portion proximale. D'une manière générale, le clou centromédullaire verrouillé permet d'éviter l'ouverture du foyer de fracture mais rend difficile la réduction anatomique de la fracture et nécessite une certaine exposition du chirurgien aux rayons X. Le brochage à foyer fermé ou ouvert est une solution intermédiaire qui évite certains désavantages des méthodes précédentes mais au prix de fixation peu rigide et du risque de migration des broches.  The intramedullary nail allows osteosynthesis without the fracture focus but requires perforation of one of the ends of the bone which is often close to a joint. There are several methods of intramedullary nailing. Simple nailing does not prevent axial rotation movements at the fracture focus and often requires supplementation with a rotation locking system. Among the various methods proposed for locking the nail, the most commonly used is locking by screws that pass through the bone and the nail under radiological control. Another method is to expand the distal end of the nail and place screws through the nail only in the proximal portion. In general, the locked intramedullary nail avoids the opening of the fracture site but makes it difficult to anatomically reduce the fracture and requires some exposure of the surgeon to x-rays. intermediate solution that avoids certain disadvantages of the previous methods but at the price of not rigid fixation and the risk of migration of the pins.

La présente invention propose de fixer l'os fracturé de façon anatomique et rigide mais sans dissection large, sans perforation d'une des extrémités de l'os, ni exposition du chirurgien aux rayons X. L'implant qui fait l'objet de cette invention entre dans le cadre global des clous centromédullaires verrouillés par expansion. Cet implant (I) est original par le fait qu'il est constitué d'un segment de cylindre fendu à chacune de ses extrémités. Dans chacune des fentes (F) aux deux extrémités est engagé un coin (C) qui en position initiale ne modifie pas le diamètre du cylindre. Chacun de ces coins est traversé par une cordelette (Cr). La traction de la cordelette dans le sens du milieu de l'implant, provoque la pénétration du coin dans la fente et augmente d'autant le diamètre de l'implant au niveau de la pénétration du coin. Les figures 1 et 2 montrent plus explicitement le dispositif relatif à l'invention. Lorsque l'implant (I) est introduit dans le canal médullaire d'un os (0) fracturé en deux et qu'il est placé de façon à ce que ses extrémités soient situées de part et d'autre de la fracture, l'expansion des extrémités de l'implant par pénétration des coins dans les fentes provoque l'ostéosynthèse de la fracture. En pratique, l'intervention peut se dérouler de la façon suivante qui est illustrée par les figures 3, 4 et 5.  The present invention proposes to fix the fractured bone anatomically and rigidly but without wide dissection, without perforation of one of the ends of the bone, or exposure of the surgeon to X-rays. The implant which is the subject of this invention. The invention falls within the overall framework of expulsion locked intramedullary nails. This implant (I) is original in that it consists of a segment of cylinder split at each of its ends. In each of the slots (F) at both ends is engaged a wedge (C) which in the initial position does not change the diameter of the cylinder. Each of these corners is crossed by a cord (Cr). The pull of the cord in the direction of the middle of the implant causes the penetration of the wedge into the slot and increases the diameter of the implant at the level of the penetration of the wedge. Figures 1 and 2 show more explicitly the device relating to the invention. When the implant (I) is introduced into the medullary canal of a bone (0) fractured in two and is placed so that its ends are located on either side of the fracture, the expansion of the ends of the implant by penetration of the corners in the slots causes osteosynthesis of the fracture. In practice, the intervention can be carried out in the following manner which is illustrated by FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.

5 10 2 2901992 La fracture est abordée chirurgicalement par une petite incision de façon à n'exposer que la zone de rupture de l'os. La figure 3 montre l'implant (I) introduit dans un des fragments de l'os (0) de manière à affleurer le niveau de la fracture. Puis comme le montre la figure 4, l'implant est déplacé de façon à pénétrer dans l'autre fragment de l'os. L'implant est disposé de façon à ce que les cordelettes (Cr) sortent par le foyer de fracture et que le milieu de l'implant se situe au niveau du foyer de fracture. Ensuite comme le montre la figure 5, une traction est exercée sur l'une des cordelettes, provoquant l'expansion d'une des extrémités de l'implant et sa fixation à l'os. Cette cordelette utilisée est retirée et la fracture réduite. Enfin, comme le montre la figure 6, une traction est exercée sur l'autre fil ce qui provoque la fixation de l'autre extrémité de l'implant. De cette manière, la fracture est solidaire de l'implant. En d'autre terme, elle est ostéosynthésée grâce à une cheville à expansion bipolaire. 35 10 2 2901992 The fracture is surgically treated by a small incision so as to expose only the fracture zone of the bone. Figure 3 shows the implant (I) introduced into one of the bone fragments (0) so as to be flush with the level of the fracture. Then as shown in Figure 4, the implant is moved to penetrate the other bone fragment. The implant is arranged so that the cords (Cr) exit through the fracture site and the middle of the implant is at the fracture site. Then, as shown in Figure 5, traction is exerted on one of the cords, causing the expansion of one end of the implant and its attachment to the bone. This cord used is removed and the fracture reduced. Finally, as shown in Figure 6, a pull is exerted on the other wire which causes the fixing of the other end of the implant. In this way, the fracture is integral with the implant. In other words, it is osteosynthesized thanks to a bipolar expansion pin. 3
