Abstract
【解決手段】一対の定着部材のそれぞれは、縫合糸の長さにより一緒に結合された、予め形成した結び目構成を含む。定着部材は半月板組織上に縫合糸の長さが断裂をまたがるように配置され、結び目構成が固定用結び目を形成するように拡大され、縫合糸の長さが短縮されて断裂を閉鎖する。
【選択図】図1a
Description
半月板は、主に膝内の大腿骨と脛骨との間に位置する緩衝物質からなる一対のC形状の円盤を含む。半月板内に断裂が生じる場合があり、これらの外傷の修復は、特に、修復のために皮膚内の小さい開口を介して半月板にアクセスする関節鏡又は半開放処置(semi-open procedure)においては未だに課題である。現在の修復方法は、断裂を横切る、ある長さの縫合糸により接続される第1の固体インプラントと第2の固体インプラントを送達して断裂を閉鎖し、組織を一緒に増殖させることを含む。一般に、これらの方法は、大腿骨に向いた半月板の表面上にインプラント又は結び目を使用し、このことは使用中に表面が支持する荷重により完全に望ましいものではない。
本発明による半月板修復装置は、縫合糸の長さに結合した第1及び第2の定着部材を含み、その縫合糸の長さは、第1の定着部材と第2の定着部材との間で縫合糸の長さを短縮するいくつかの手段と共に、第1の定着部材及び第2の定着部材に結合している。各定着部材は、縫合糸の長さの一部分に沿った予め形成した結び目構成を含み、その結び目構成は、縫合糸の長さに沿って最大直径を有し、かつ前記最大直径の少なくとも3倍大きい最小直径を有する固定用結び目に再構成されることができる。
本明細書で開示するデバイス、システム及び方法の構造、機能、製造、及び使用の原理が総括的に理解されるように、特定の例示的実施形態について、これから説明することにする。当業者は、本明細書で明確に記載され、付属の図面に示されるデバイス及び方法が、非限定の例示的な実施形態であり、本発明の範囲が、特許請求の範囲のみにより定義されることを認識するであろう。ある実施形態に関連して例示又は説明した特徴は、他の実施形態の特徴と組み合わされてもよい。こうした改変及び変形は、本発明の範囲内に含まれるものとする。図面は一般に概略的であり、当尺で図示されず、本発明の特定の実施形態の記載を容易にすることのみを意図することに留意するべきである。
