Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は湾曲、変形した人体の脊椎または脊椎動物の脊椎を矯正する脊椎創外固定器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
脊椎の湾曲、変形の矯正治療は、手術によるか、創内に埋入させた脊椎創外固定器で行っている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、脊椎創外固定器による矯正治療は、脊椎に固定した固定ねじ相互の位置を後日調整する必要がある。しかし創内に固定した脊椎創外固定器ではこの調整を行う度に再手術する必要があり、この手術に伴う患者の肉体的苦痛に伴う負担が大きい等の不具合がある。
本発明はかかる不具合のない脊椎創外固定器を得ることを課題とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決する第1の手段は、請求項1記載のとおり、複数の椎体にそれぞれ固定して創内に埋入させる左右一対の固定ねじと、該固定ねじの頭部に接続して一部を創外に突出させる接続ピンと、各接続ピン相互の間隔を創外で調節可能に固定する固定具とから成る脊椎創外固定器において、上記固定ねじはその頭部に連通する細孔を備え、接続ピンは該細孔に挿着される針状突起を有すると共に、上記固定具には接続ピンと対応する位置にスリット溝が複数施されていることを特徴し、かかる構成を備えることで、各接続ピン相互の間隔の調節を創外から行うことができる。
【0005】
また、第2の手段は、請求項2記載のとおり、請求項1の手段において、上記接続ピンは、その先端部に雄ねじ部を備え、固定ねじは、その頭部に、頂面から該接続ピンの雄ねじ部を螺合させる雌ねじ部を備えることを特徴とし、かかる構成を備えることで、該固定ねじへの接続ピンの接続を創外から簡単に行うことが出来る。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図示するものに付き説明する。
図1〜図4で1は脊椎、2は椎体、2aは横突起、2bは乳頭突起、Bは背中の表面を示す。
3は本発明の脊椎創外固定器を示し、該脊椎創外固定器3は、複数の椎体2のそれぞれ螺合して創内に埋込まれる左右一対の固定ねじ4と、該固定ねじ4の頭部4aに接続して一部を創外に突出させる接続ピン5と、各接続ピン5相互の間隔を創外で調節可能に固定する固定具6とで構成される。
【0007】
これを更に詳細に説明すると、固定ねじ4は、その頭部4aに軸線方向に沿う窪みを備え、その内周面にねじを施して雌ねじ部4bとし、該固定ねじ4を各椎体2に螺合した後該雌ねじ部4bに、接続ピン5の雄ねじ部5aを螺合させて固定ねじ4に接続ピン5を接続させる。接続ピン5には図6で示すように針状突起5bが設けられている。
【0008】
なお、該固定ねじ4の中心には、その長さ方向に伸び且つ雌ねじ部4bと連通する細孔4cを備え、雌ねじ部4bへの雄ねじ部5aの螺合に先だって、接続ピン5の先端中心から突出する前記針状突起5bが該細孔4cに挿着され、これが案内となって、雌ねじ部4bへの雄ねじ部5aの螺合をし易くした。
【0009】
なお、固定ねじ4と接続ピン5との間にはパッキンを介在させて、該雌ねじ部4b内に体液等が侵入しないようにした。
【0010】
この実施の形態の固定具6は、図5に示すように接続ピン5と対応する位置に多数の十字状のスリット溝A−1を施した金属板Aで構成した。
【0011】
またこの固定具6に固定する接続ピン5は、その頭部に膨大部5cと該膨大部5cから突出するねじ部5dとを備え、該ねじ部5dを板材Aのスリット溝A−1に挿着した後該ねじ部5dに施したナット5eによって、板材Aに接続ピン5を締付け固定させるようにした。
【0012】
かくすることで、調節を必要とするナット5eを緩めた後、該十字状のスリット溝A−1に沿って該接続ピン5を移動させれば、創外で簡単に各ピン5の相互の位置を調節でき、その後ナット5eを締めれば、各接続ピン5は相互の位置を調節された状態で固定具6に固定出来る。
【0013】
図7に示す固定具6は、脊椎1の長さ方向に沿う2本のロッドC,Cで構成し、各ロッドCに脊椎1のそれぞれの側に設けた接続ピン5を頭部で結着固定させるようにした。
【0014】
これを更に説明すると、ロッドC,Cは、周面にローレット等の滑り止めを施した金属杆からなり、接続ピン5は、図8に示すごとく、その頭部に該ロッドCが嵌まり込む凹部5fを備えるとともに、該凹部5fを施した部分の外周にねじ5gを施し、該ねじ5g部にナット5hを施してナット5hを締めることで、ロッドCの適宜位置に接続ピン5を結着固定できるようにした。
【0015】
本発明の脊椎創外固定器による治療は、手術によって脊椎1を露出させ、椎体2の横突起2aと乳頭突起2bとの間に図2に示すように固定ねじ4をねじ込み固定する。このとき固定ねじ4に接続ピン5を接続する。そしてこの手術と同時に、または一旦縫合した後、後日各接続ピン5を創外で固定具6に固定させる。
【0016】
そして、各接続ピン5相互の間隔を調節する必要があるときは、創外から簡単に該固定具6への固定位置を調節することができる。
【0017】
また、固定ねじ4と、この固定ねじ4の頭部に接続して一部を創外に突出させる接続ピン5を用い、各接続ピンを創外で固定具6に固定させるようにしたことで、別の接続ピン並びに固定具を別のものと簡単に交換出来、また脊椎の湾曲、変形脊椎の湾曲が完治したところで、該接続ピン5から外側のみを取り除くことで、大きな手術をすることなく脊椎創外固定器を外すことができる。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、請求項1の発明においては、各接続ピン相互の間隔を創外で調節できるので、各接続ピン相互の間隔を調整するための手術をする必要がなくなって、矯正治療に伴う患者の肉体的負担を軽減出来る。また請求項2の発明においては、各接続ピンを簡単に固定ピンに接続できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a spinal external fixator that corrects a curved or deformed human spine or vertebrate spine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Corrective treatment for spinal curvature and deformation is performed by surgery or using an external spinal fixator implanted in the wound.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the orthodontic treatment with the spinal external fixator, the positions of the fixation screws fixed to the spine need to be adjusted at a later date. However, the spinal external fixator fixed in the wound needs to be re-operated every time this adjustment is performed, and there is a problem such as a heavy burden caused by the physical pain of the patient.
An object of the present invention is to obtain a spinal external fixator free from such defects.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The first means for solving the above-mentioned problem is as described in
