る。FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a tendon fixing member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tendon fixing member indicated by reference numeral 1 is made of apatite, and is used for fixing a torn tendon 2 to a bone 3. A back-up prevention mechanism 4 for locking the tendon 2 is provided on the inner surface of the hole 5 formed in the axial direction.

を防止できるように構成している。The reverse movement preventing mechanism 4 is formed to have the inner surface shape of the through-hole 5, and more specifically, the inner surface shape is formed as a truncated conical space 41. That is, a truncated conical hole 5 whose diameter is reduced from the inlet side A to the inner side B
The end of the tendon 2 is inserted into the reduced diameter end 6 of the hole 5
By locking the 21, the tendon 2 is configured to be prevented from coming off in the reverse direction.

が好ましい。The inner surface of the hole 5 forming the reversion preventing mechanism 4 is made of dense apatite so as to ensure sufficient strength to stably lock the tendon 2 and to secure the bone 3 of the tendon fixing member 1. It is preferable that the portion contacting with the side, that is, the side face 7 and the end face 8 on the side into which the tendon 2 is inserted be formed of porous apatite so that replacement with bone is performed quickly.

密質アパタイト)は、気孔率が0〜20%のものであり、
多孔質体(多孔質アパタイト)は、気孔率が60〜80%で
ある。By the way, in the present invention, apatite is defined as a calcium phosphate-based sintered body in a broad sense. Among them, hydroxyapatite is excellent in strength and is the most preferable material. The dense body (dense apatite) has a porosity of 0 to 20%,
The porous body (porous apatite) has a porosity of 60 to 80%.

体の気孔率が60%未満になると、骨に置換される時間が
長くかかり過ぎる。気孔率が80%を越えると、強度が低
下するため、損壊する虞がある。[0014] If the porosity of the dense body exceeds 20%, the strength is significantly reduced, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the porosity of the porous body is less than 60%, it takes too long to be replaced with bone. If the porosity exceeds 80%, the strength is reduced, and the porosity may be damaged.

だけの小孔11をあける。次いで、その小孔11のまわりに
所定の厚みの有る係止壁部12を残して、その反対側か
ら、腱固定部材1を挿入するための挿入孔13をあける。In the example of the treatment shown in FIG. 1, first, a small hole 11 enough to allow the tendon 2 to be inserted is made in the bone 3 where the tendon 2 is to be fixed. Next, an insertion hole 13 for inserting the tendon fixing member 1 is opened from the opposite side, leaving the locking wall portion 12 having a predetermined thickness around the small hole 11.

In addition, since the hole 5 is formed in a tapered shape (reducing the diameter toward the back side B), the insertion of the tendon 2 is easy.

21 is locked as it is, but if necessary, it may be harder to pull out by hitting a stud or the like. The porosity of the reversion preventing mechanism 4 is preferably 0 to 20%. In particular, when strength is required, the porosity may be set to near 0%.

Since it is made of apatite, it has a good affinity for living tissue, there is no sense of incongruity inside, and bone replacement is rapidly performed on the side surface 7 and the end surface 8 that come into contact with the bone 3, and finally, it is integrated with the bone. Therefore, the tendon 2 can be stably locked for a long period of time.

The structure in which the tendon 2 is locked in a multi-stage manner by 2, 43, 44,... Can further improve the effect of preventing the tendon from returning. In addition, since the length (thickness) L in the axial direction can be set large, it is suitable when a large load is applied (the locking force is dispersed in the length L direction). In this case as well, it is preferable that the end of the tendon is inserted until the part thereof comes out from the reduced diameter end 6.
