【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来の構成によると次のような問題があった。
すなわち、上記特許文献１に記載された発明の場合には、まず、骨髄内に骨髄内釘を挿入・配置し、そこに形成された貫通孔内にネジを挿入して骨に螺合させていく。そして、上記貫通孔とネジの隙間を埋めるようにスリーブを螺合させていくわけであるが、その作業が面倒であるという問題があった。
又、スリーブの螺合状態が経時変化によって緩むことが懸念されていた。
【０００５】
本発明はこのような点に基づいてなされたものでその目的とするところは、骨接合作業の作業性を向上させ、且つ、強固な接合状態を維持することを可能にする骨接合装置を提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するべく本願発明の請求項１による骨接合装置は、骨髄内に挿入・配置されると共に貫通孔を備え該貫通孔内に雌ねじ部を形成した骨髄内釘と、上記骨髄内釘の貫通孔内に挿入され接合対象の骨に螺合されるラグスクリュと、上記ラグスクリュの外周側に軸方向に移動可能な状態で予め外装され抜け止め処理されていると共に上記貫通孔の雌ねじ部に螺合される雄ねじ部を備えたスリーブと、を具備したことを特徴とするものである。
又、請求項２による骨接合装置は、請求項１記載の骨接合装置において、上記スリーブは雄ねじ部の基端側にストッパ部を備えていて、該ストッパ部が貫通孔の縁部に当接することによりそれ以上の螺合が規制されるように構成されていることを特徴とするものである。
又、請求項３による骨接合装置は、請求項２記載の骨接合装置において、上記ストッパ部は反雄ねじ側に向けてその径を拡大させていくようなテーパ形状になっていることを特徴とするものである。
【０００７】
すなわち、本願発明による接合装置の場合には、骨髄内に挿入・配置されると共に貫通孔を備え該貫通孔内に雌ねじ部を形成した骨髄内釘材と、上記骨髄内釘の貫通孔内に挿入され接合対象の骨に螺合されるラグスクリュと、上記ラグスクリュの外周側に予め外装されて軸方向に移動可能な状態で抜け止め処理されていて貫通孔の雌ねじ部に螺合される雄ねじ部を備えたスリーブと、を具備したものであり、つまり、ラグスクリュとスリーブとを予め組み込んでスリーブの抜け防止処理を施したものであり、それによって、取扱が容易になり、接合作業の容易化を図ることができるものである。
その際、スリーブを雄ねじ部の基端側にストッパ部を備えた構成とした場合には、該ストッパ部が骨髄内釘側の貫通孔の縁部に当接することにより、それ以上の螺合量を規制することができ、それによって、スリーブの位置が自動的に規定されることになる。よって、接合作業がさらに簡単なものとなる。
又、ストッパ部を反雄ねじ側に向けてその径を拡大させていくようなテーパ形状に形成した場合には、該テーパ形状部が効果的に機能してロック状態を得ることができ、スリーブの強固な螺合状態を提供することができる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図１乃至図８を参照して本発明の一実施の形態を説明する。図１、図２は大腿骨１の頚部１ａに発生した骨折部Ａを本実施の形態による骨接合装置３によって接合しようとする様子を順番に示した図である。
【０００９】
以下、上記骨接合装置３の構成を詳細に説明していく。
まず、大腿骨１の骨髄内に挿入・固定される骨髄内釘５があり、この骨髄内釘５は、基端側（図１中上部）を大径部７とし、先端側（図１中下部）を小径部９としている。上記大径部７の上端部には、図７にも示すように、凹部１１が形成されていて、この凹部１１には雌ねじ部１３が形成されている。又、図３、図４、図７に示すように、上記大径部７の上端部には１８０°の位置に切欠部１５、１７が形成されている。これら両切欠部１５、１７には図示しないピン状冶具が嵌め込まれることになり、それによって、骨髄内釘５の不用意な回転を規制するものである。
【００１０】
上記大径部７には、貫通孔１９と２１が軸方向に所定の間隔を存した状態で、且つ、斜め（例えば、貫通孔釘５との角度が１３５°）に指向した状態で穿孔されている。上記貫通孔１９には固定ねじ部材３６が貫通・配置され、大腿骨１の頚部１ａに螺合されることになる。又、上記貫通孔２１内には、図３及び図４に示すように、雌ねじ部２３が形成されている。又、骨髄内釘５の小径部９には、図３及び図４に示すように、溝２５、２７が１８０°の位置に対向するように形成されている。これら両溝２５、２７の縁部が大腿骨１に食い込むことなり、それによって、骨髄内釘５の不用意な回転を規制するものである。又、これら溝２５、２７には軸方向の所定個所に貫通孔２９、３１が穿孔されている。これら貫通孔２９、３１内には、図１及び図２に示すように、固定ねじ部材３３、３５が貫通・配置されて、大腿骨１に螺合されることになる。
【００１１】
上記貫通孔２１内には接合用ねじ具３７が貫通・配置されている。上記接合用ねじ具３７は、図６にも示すように、ラグスクリュ３９と、このラグスクリュ３９の基部に固着された端部材４１と、上記ラグスクリュ３９の外周側に移動可能に外装されたスリーブ４３とから構成されている。これらラグスクリュ３９、端部材４１、スリーブ４３は予め組み込まれて一体化されている。すなわち、端部材４１をラグスクリュ３９の基部に圧入・固定する前に、ラグスクリュ３９にスリーブ４３を外装する。次に、ラグスクリュ３９の基部に端部材４１を圧入・固定する。これによって、スリーブ４３のラグスクリュ３９からの抜けは防止され一体化されることになる。
【００１２】
上記ラグスクリュ３９は、中空状をなしていて、先端部に雄ねじ部４５を備えている。又、この雄ねじ部４５のねじ山部４７には複数個の切欠部４９が形成されていて、タップ機能が付与されている。つまり、図示しない工具によって回転されることにより、自身で大腿骨１の頚部１ａにねじ切りを施しながらそこに螺合していくものである。又、上記ラグスクリュ３９の上記雄ねじ部４５の反対側の端部には、既に説明したように、端部材４１が圧入・固定されている。
【００１３】
その構成を詳しく説明すると、図８に示すように、ラグスクリュ３９の端部はその外形が六角形に形成されている。一方、端部材４１の内径も六角形となっており、端部材４１の内径部をラグスクリュ３９の外形部に圧入して固定しているものである。又、ラグスクリュ３９の端部の内周面には雌ねじ部５７が形成されている。そこには、接合作業終了時に図示しないコンプレッションスクリュが螺合されることになり、それによって、ラグスクリュ３９ひいては骨折下側の頚部１ａ　を引っ張って骨折部Ａを密着させるものである。又、上記端部材４１の六角形の内径部には図示しない六角レンチが差し込まれ、それによって、ラグスクリュ３９の螺合が行われる。又、スリーブ４３の内径部も六角形に形成されており、そこにも図示しない六角レンチが差し込まれ、それによって、スリーブ４３の螺合が行われることになる。
【００１４】
又、上記スリーブ４３であるが、図６にも示すように、雄ねじ部５３と、ストッパ部５５とから構成されている。上記雄ねじ部５３は軸部３の貫通孔２１内に形成された雌ねじ部２３に螺合することになる。又、ストッパ部５５は貫通孔２１の縁部に当接して、スリーブ４３のそれ以上の螺合を規制する機能を発揮するものである。又、上記ストッパ部５５は、その外径が反雄ねじ部５３方向に向けて徐々に拡大されるようなテーパ形状に形成されている。このテーパ形状部の機能によって、スリーブ４３を雌ねじ部２３に螺合させていくときに、所望のロック状態、すなわち、テープ形状部が効果的に食い込んで、スリーブ４３の雌ねじ部２３に対する強固な螺合状態を提供するものである。
【００１５】
以上の構成を基にその作用を説明する。
まず、接合用ねじ具３７を予め用意しておく。すなわち、ラグスクリュ３９にスリーブ４３を外装し、その状態でラグスクリュ３９の端部に端部材４１を圧入・固定する。これによって、スリーブ４３の抜けを防止した状態の接合用ねじ具３７を得ることができる。
【００１６】
次に、大腿骨１の髄管内に骨髄内釘５を挿入・配置する。次に、上記接合用ねじ具３７のラグスクリュ３９を上記骨髄内釘４１の貫通孔２１内に挿入していくと共に大腿骨１の頚部１ａに予め形成されている図示しない雌ねじ部に螺合させていく。その際、スリーブ４３は貫通孔２１の雌ねじ部２３に螺合されることになり、ストッパ部５５が貫通孔２１の縁部に当接したところでそれ以上の螺合が規制される。その状態を示すのが図１である。
【００１７】
次に、図１に示す状態からラグスクリュ３９をさらに大腿骨１の頚部１ａ側に螺合させていく。このときには、ラグスクリュ３９の雄ねじ部４５のねじ山部４７に形成された複数個の切欠部４９によってタップ機能が発揮され、つまり、自身でねじ切りを行いながらそこに螺合していくものである。そして、図２に示すような状態になる。
【００１８】
後は、図示しないコンプレッションスクリュをラグスクリュ３９の基部側に螺合させることにより、ラグスクリュ３９ひいては頚部１ａの骨折側を大腿骨１側に引っ張って骨折部を接合する。
【００１９】
以上本実施の形態によると次のような効果を奏することができる。
まず、接合用ねじ具３７を構成するラグスクリュ３９と、端部材４１と、スリーブ４３とが予め一体化されていて、スリーブ４３のラグスクリュ３９からの抜けが防止されるように構成されているので、接合作業時の取扱が容易であり、それによって、接合作業に要する時間を短縮させることができる。
又、スリーブ４３はストッパ部５５を備えた構成になっており、該ストッパ部５５によってスリーブ４３の螺合量を一定量に規制しているので、スリーブ４３の位置は自動的に決定され、それによっても接合作業時の作業性を向上させて時間を短縮させることができるものである。
又、ストッパ部５５はテーパ形状に形成されているので、スリーブ４３を雌ねじ部２３に螺合させて、ストッパ部５５が骨髄内釘５の貫通孔２１の縁部に当接したとき、テーパ形状部の食い込みにより強固な螺合状態を売ることができ、又、その後の不用意な緩みを防止することができる。
【００２０】
尚、本発明は前記一実施の形態に限定されるものではない。
前記一実施の形態では、大腿骨の頚部に骨折が発生し、その骨折部を接合する場合を例に挙げて説明しているが、それに限定されるものではなく、様々な骨折部の接合に使用することができる。
又、前記一実施の形態の場合には、ラグスクリュとスリーブからなる接合ねじ具が一組の場合を例に挙げて説明しているが、それが二組以上であってもよい。
その他図示した構成はあくまで一例である。
【００２１】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように本発明による骨接合装置によると、まず、接合用ねじ具を構成するラグスクリュスリーブとが予め一体化されていて、スリーブのラグスクリュからの抜けが防止されるように構成されているので、接合作業時の取扱が容易であり、それによって、接合作業に要する時間を短縮させることができる。
又、スリーブがストッパ部を備えた構成とした場合には、該ストッパ部によってスリーブの螺合量を一定量に規制しているので、スリーブの位置は自動的に決定され、それによっても接合作業時の作業性を向上させて時間を短縮させることができるものである。
又、ストッパ部を反雄ねじ側に向けてその径を拡大させていくようなテーパ形状に形成した場合には、該テーパ形状部が効果的に機能してロック状態を得ることができ、スリーブの強固な螺合状態を提供することができる。

Through holes 19 and 21 are formed in the large-diameter portion 7 at a predetermined interval in the axial direction and at an angle (for example, 135 ° with the through-hole nail 5). ing. A fixing screw member 36 penetrates and is disposed in the through hole 19, and is screwed to the neck 1 a of the femur 1. A female screw portion 23 is formed in the through hole 21 as shown in FIGS. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, grooves 25 and 27 are formed in the small diameter portion 9 of the intramedullary nail 5 so as to face the position at 180 °. The edges of these grooves 25 and 27 bite into the femur 1, thereby restricting inadvertent rotation of the intramedullary nail 5. The grooves 25 and 27 have through holes 29 and 31 at predetermined locations in the axial direction. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, fixing screw members 33 and 35 are penetrated and arranged in these through holes 29 and 31 and screwed to the femur 1.
[0011]
A joining screw 37 is penetrated and arranged in the through hole 21. As shown in FIG. 6, the joining screw 37 includes a lag screw 39, an end member 41 fixed to a base of the lag screw 39, and a sleeve 43 movably mounted on the outer peripheral side of the lag screw 39. It is composed of The lag screw 39, the end member 41, and the sleeve 43 are integrated in advance and integrated. That is, before the end member 41 is press-fitted and fixed to the base of the lag screw 39, the sleeve 43 is provided on the lag screw 39. Next, the end member 41 is press-fitted and fixed to the base of the lag screw 39. As a result, the sleeve 43 is prevented from coming off from the lag screw 39 and integrated.

[0017]
Next, the lag screw 39 is further screwed into the neck 1a side of the femur 1 from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the tap function is exerted by the plurality of cutouts 49 formed in the thread portion 47 of the male screw portion 45 of the lag screw 39, that is, the thread is screwed into the lag screw 39 while performing the cutting by itself. Then, a state as shown in FIG. 2 is obtained.
[0018]
Thereafter, a compression screw (not shown) is screwed to the base side of the lag screw 39, thereby pulling the fracture side of the lag screw 39 and thus the neck 1a toward the femur 1 to join the fractured portions.
[0019]
According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
First, the lag screw 39, the end member 41, and the sleeve 43 that constitute the joining screw 37 are integrated in advance, and the sleeve 43 is configured to be prevented from coming off from the lag screw 39. Handling at the time of the joining operation is easy, so that the time required for the joining operation can be reduced.
Further, the sleeve 43 is provided with a stopper portion 55, and the screwing amount of the sleeve 43 is regulated to a fixed amount by the stopper portion 55, so that the position of the sleeve 43 is automatically determined, This also improves the workability at the time of joining work and can reduce the time.
Further, since the stopper portion 55 is formed in a tapered shape, when the sleeve 43 is screwed into the female screw portion 23 and the stopper portion 55 comes into contact with the edge of the through hole 21 of the intramedullary nail 5, the tapered shape is formed. It is possible to sell a firm screwed state by biting the part, and it is possible to prevent subsequent loosening.
[0020]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
In the above-described embodiment, a case in which a fracture occurs in the neck of the femur and the fracture is joined is described as an example.However, the present invention is not limited to this. Can be used.
Further, in the case of the above-described embodiment, the case where one set of the joining screw including the lag screw and the sleeve is described as an example, but two or more sets may be used.
Other configurations shown are merely examples.
