Abstract

【課題】脊椎の斜め前方から、椎間板を除去した後の上下の椎体間に挿入配置できる椎間ケージを提供する。
【解決手段】脊椎の椎体間に挿入配置される椎間ケージであって、中空状のゲージ本体3の先端側の厚さよりも後端側の厚さを厚く設け、前記先端側の一方の角部3Cの角度をほぼ二等分する二等分線に対してほぼ直交する方向に稜線17を形成した複数の抜け止め防止用の爪状部19を上下両面に備え、かつ後端面に形成したV字形状の溝部13に、斜め上下方向のスクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lを形成し、前記スクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lは左右方向の長孔である。

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、椎間板を除去した後の上下の椎体間に前側から挿入配置される椎間ケージに係り、さらに詳細には、前側の左右斜め方向から椎体間に挿入配置することのできる椎間ケージに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
本発明に係る先行例として次の特許文献がある。
【0003】
[特許文献1]
特表平9−503416号公報
前記特許文献1に係る椎間ケージ50は、図5に示すように、半円形状の左右一対の横スペーサ51A,51Bと前後の中央スペーサ53A,53Bとの4つの構成要素を組合せ、左右の固定ネジ55によって上記4個の構成要素を一体的に固定することにより、前記左右の横スペーサー51A,51B及び前後の中央スペーサ53A,53Bとの間に、ほぼ四角形状のキャビティ57を形成した構成である。
【0004】
そして、図6に示すように、椎間板を除去した後の上下の椎体59U,59Lの間に、前記椎間ケージ50を前側(図6において左側)から挿入配置するものである。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前述のごとき従来の構成においては、構成部品が多く複雑であると共に、挿入配置後に位置ずれを生じ易いという問題がある。
【0006】
また前記従来技術においては、椎間ケージを上下の椎体の間に前側から挿入配置することを前提とするものであって、左右の斜め前方から椎体間に挿入するものではなく、さらなる改良が望まれるものである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は前述のごとき従来の問題に鑑みてなされたもので、請求項1に係る発明は、脊椎の椎体間に挿入配置される椎間ケージであって、中空状のゲージ本体の先端側の厚さよりも後端側の厚さを厚く設け、前記先端側の一方の角部の角度をほぼ二等分する二等分線に対してほぼ直交する方向に稜線を形成した複数の抜け止め防止用の爪状部を上下両面に備え、かつ後端面に形成したV字形状の溝部に、斜め上下方向のスクリュー貫通孔を形成した構成である。
【0008】
請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1に記載の椎間ケージにおいて、スクリュー貫通孔は左右方向の長孔である。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1〜図4を参照するに、本発明の実施の形態に係る椎間ケージ1は、中空状のケージ本体3を備えている。すなわち、ケージ本体3は、全体が一体物であって、図2に示すように、平面図の外形は、概略的には正方形状の後辺に台形状の底辺部を合せて変形六角形状に形成し、かつ各角部を円弧状に形成した形状である。そして、上記ケージ本体3は、前端側(先端側)の厚さH1よりも後端側の厚さH2を厚く形成してある。
【0010】
上記ケージ本体3の前側,中央部,後側には左右方向に長い前側上下孔5,中央部上下孔7及び後側上下孔9が上下に貫通して形成してある。さらに、ケージ本体3には、前記各上下孔5,7,9と左右方向の長さがほぼ等しい前後方向の穴11(図3参照)が前面3Fから前記後側上下孔9に至って形成してある。
【0011】
前記前側上下孔5,中央部上下孔7,後側上下孔9及び穴11を形成したことにより前記ケージ本体3は中空状に形成してある。そして、前記ケージ本体3の左右の両側面の、前記前側上下孔5、中央部上下孔7,前後上下孔9に対応した位置には横貫通孔5A,7A,9Aがそれぞれ形成してある。
【0012】
さらに前記ケージ本体3の後端面には、後端側が広くなるようにV字形状に開口した溝部13が形成してあり、この溝部13には、上面及び下面に貫通した上下のスクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lが斜め上下方向に形成してある。このスクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lは、左右方向に長い長孔に形成してある。
【0013】
そして、前記ケージ本体3の上下面には、前記先端側の一方の角部3Cの角度(前面3Fと側面とのなす角度、約90)をほぼ二等分する二等分線に対してほぼ直交する方向の稜線17を形成した断面三角形状の抜け止め防止用の複数の爪状部19が適宜間隔に形成してある。すなわち、前記爪状部19の断面三角形状の頂角の部分が前記稜線17をなすものであって、上記爪状部19は椎体間への挿入時には挿入し易く抜け難い形状に形成してある。
【0014】
以上のごとき構成において、前述した従来技術と同様に、椎間板を除去した後の上下の椎体間に椎間ケージ1を挿入配置するには、例えば鉗子などのごとき適宜の工具を適宜の横貫通孔5A,7A,9Aに係合してケージ本体3を保持し、当該ケージ本体3の一方の角部3Cが先行するように、脊椎の左前方から椎体間に挿入配置するものである。なお、上下を反転することにより、脊椎の右前方から椎体間にケージ本体3を挿入配置することができるものである。
【0015】
したがって、脊椎の前側に例えば臓器等が位置する場合であつても、上記臓器等を回避して脊椎の椎体間へケージ本体3を挿入配置することができるものである。この際、ケージ本体3は後端側よりも先端側が薄く形成してあるので、椎体間へのケージ本体3の挿入を容易に行い得るものである。
【0016】
上述のように、椎体間にケージ本体3を挿入配置した後は、上下両面に備えた抜け止め防止用の複数の爪状部19における稜線17が上下の椎体の終板に喰い込む態様となり、椎体間からの抜け止め効果が得られるものである。また、ケージ本体3の後端面に形成したV字形状の溝部13からスクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lを貫通して上下の椎体にインプラントスクリューSを螺入することにより、上下の椎体間にケージ本体3を確実に固定することができるものである。この際、スクリュー貫通孔15U,15Lが長孔であることにより、椎体の状態に対応してインプラントスクリューSの螺入位置を左右にずらすことができるものである。
【0017】
前述のごとく上下の椎体間にケージ本体3を固定した後、上下面に形成した前側上下孔5,中央部上下孔7及び後側上下孔9に骨が成長して次第に入り込む態様となり、骨癒合を促進できるものである。そして、前記各上下孔5,7,9に対応して設けた横貫通孔5A,7A,9Aを透過してX線撮影を行うことにより、前記骨癒合の判定を行うことができるものである。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上のごとき説明より理解されるように、ケージ本体は全体が一体物であって、構成が簡単になるものである。また先端側の一方の角部の角度をほぼ二等分する二等分線に対してほぼ直交する方向の稜線を備えた抜け止め防止用の複数の爪状部が上下両面に適宜間隔に設けられているので、脊椎の斜め前方から椎体間に挿入配置することができると共に、挿入配置後は抜け止めを効果的に行うことができるものであって、前述したごとき従来の問題を解消し得るものである。
