Description

発明の分野
本発明は、少なくとも一部の椎骨を切除後の脊椎を支持する器具に関する。
発明の背景
椎骨が損傷を受けた、または病気にかかった場合、脊柱の支持を回復する目的で、椎骨またはその一部をプロテーゼと置換するために外科手術を用いてもよい。例えば、脊椎骨折、腫瘍、または感染の治療において椎体置換が通例必要とされる。
近年では、チタンケージ、セラミック、セラミック/ガラス、プラスチックまたはPEEK、および炭素繊維スペーサなどの、複数の人工材料やインプラントが椎体を置換するために開発されてきた。最近では、様々な伸張可能なプロテーゼまたは伸張可能なケージが開発され、椎体置換に使用されてきた。伸張可能なプロテーゼは概して、椎体切除術手技によってできる腔の大きさに調整可能で、生体内での癒合を促進する目的で、骨セメントまたは骨片を取り付けるために少なくとも部分的に空洞であるのが一般的である。一部の伸張可能なプロテーゼは、他のものが原位置で調整されるのに対して、腔への挿入の前に調整されることも可能である。原位置で調整可能な伸張可能なプロテーゼを用いる椎体置換の一つの利点は、器具の生体内での伸張によって最適な堅い固定と変形の補正が可能になるため、設置または挿入が容易であることである。伸張可能なプロテーゼによるその他の利点は、変形の補正のために切除された椎骨欠損部位の伸延を容易にできること、椎体切除術後の迅速な耐荷重性を可能にできることである。
椎骨インプラントを挿入ための器具類と専用工具は、脊椎のプロテーゼを設計する場合に考慮すべき設計パラメーターの一つである。プロテーゼが所定の位置に挿入される場合には、まわりの間隔が狭いために、脊髄手術手技は様々な困難を伴う。他の重要な設計上の考慮点は、椎骨の移植片を挿入するための様々な外科的手法に対する、器具の適応能力である。
発明の概要
本発明は、内部部材および外部部材が軸に沿って相互に可動性になるように、互いに同軸に位置する内部部材、外部部材、およびギア部材を通常備えた、脊椎間係合のための伸張可能な人工インプラントに関する。内部部材は空洞内側部とねじ込み外側部分をもち、第一椎体と係合するように構成される第一端部を備える。外部部材は内部部材を受けるように構成される空洞内側部を持ち、第二椎体と係合するように構成される第二端部を備える。ギア部材は軸方向に外部部材に固定され、外部部材に対して自由に回転可能で、ギア部材は内部部材のねじ込み部にねじ込み式に係合する。
インプラントは、第一端部および第二端部が第一椎体と第二椎体に対して既定の配置に方向付けられるように、椎骨と係合するように構成される。ギア部材はギア部材の周辺に伸張するギア歯を含み、ギア歯は外部に露出し、周囲の複数の角度位置から道具部材によって到達できるように構成される。
一つの実施形態では、外部部材は、道具部材の一部分を受けとるための多様な道具設置用穴を含み、道具部材のギア歯への挿入、配置、および係合を容易にしている。別の変法では、外部部材はギア部材を受けとるために弾性的に変形可能な部分を備える。さらに別の実施形態では、内部部材、外部部材、およびギア部材はPEEKプラスチック製であり得る。別の実施形態では、器具はまた、内部部材を外部部材に対して固定するための止め部材を備える。
一つの実施形態では、内部部材は外部部材に対して回転的に固定される。一つの変法では、内部部材は隙間を含み、ピンは外部部材に対する内部部材の回転運動を防ぐために、隙間と係合するように外部部材から放射状に内部に伸張する。
別の実施形態では、第一端部は、縦軸に垂直に観察されるとき概して細長い形状を持つ第一板を含んでもよく、それは長軸に沿って横幅を伸張し短軸に沿って深さを伸張する第一板であり、横幅は深さより大きい。同様に、別の実施形態では、第二端部は、縦軸に垂直に観察されたとき概して細長い形状を持つ第二板を含んでもよく、それは長軸に沿って横幅を伸張し短軸に沿って深さを伸張する第二板であり、横幅は深さより大きい。一つの変法では、第一端板および第二端板は、端版から縦方向に伸張する少なくとも一つの骨係合部材を備える。骨係合部材は金属のくぎを含んでもよい。
別の変法では、端部は縦方向に厚みをもち、厚みは短軸に沿って前後方向に可変する。一つの実施形態では、端部が概して楔形外形を規定するように、厚みは前後方向に徐々に変化する。別の実施形態では、端部は前後方向の前方側から後方側に伸張し、第一端部が第一の厚みを前方側に、第二の厚みを後方側に持ち、第一の厚みは第二の厚みより大きい。さらに別の実施形態では、端部は骨接触表面を含み、骨接触表面に接する板は第一の角度で縦軸に対して直角な板に交差する。一つの変法では、角度は約−16度〜約16度である。
図面を通して、同じ数字は同じ機構や構造を意味することを理解されたい。

図1〜9を参照すると、伸張可能な脊椎のプロテーゼ10の一つの実施形態が示される。プロテーゼ10は外部部材14内に順に嵌め込まれ受け取られる、内部部材12を通常備える。プロテーゼ10は、外部部材14に対し内部部材12の平行移動を生じさせ、プロテーゼ10の伸張をもたらすように通常構成されるギア部材16をさらに備える。内部部材12、外部部材14、およびギア部材16は縦軸18に沿って中心化され空洞内側部を規定し、その内側部は、器具上の多数の開口部を介して、骨の成長、血管の成長、またはその他の組織の成長を促進するための、骨材料、骨成長因子、骨形態形成タンパク質、またはその他の材料で満たされてもよい。一つの実施形態では、部材12、14、および16はポリエーテル・エーテル・ケトン(PEEK)プラスチック材料製である。PEEKプラスチック材料の既知の利点として、放射線透過性であること、その他のプラスチック材より簡単に滅菌される可能性が含まれる。代替的な実施形態では、部材12、14、および16は生物学的に不活性な金属合金またはその他の適切な材料で作製してもよい。
図1〜4を参照すると、内部部材12は、近位端26で概して円筒形の胴体24と接続する遠位端22の端板20を有し、その軸方向に伸張する空洞内側部を通常規定する。内部部材12の胴体24は内部表面28と外部表面30とからなる壁27を通常含み、外部表面30の少なくとも一部は外部ねじ山32を含む。胴体24の外径34は、外部部材14内に連携して入るように寸法が決められる。
外部部材14は、遠位端46で概して円筒形の胴体44と接続する近位端42の端板40を持ち、その軸方向に伸張する空洞内側部を通常規定する。外部部材14の胴体44は、内部表面48と外部表面50とからなる壁47を通常含む。胴体44の内径52は、外部部材14内に連携して内部部材12の胴体24が入るように寸法が決められる。その際、胴体44の内径52は、内部部材12の胴体24の外径34より大きい。図1に示すように、外部部材14は、骨の内部成長を可能にするために一つ以上の開口53を含んでもよい。一つの実施形態によると、ふち54は、胴体44の遠位端46の外部の周囲に形成され、ギア部材16の一部と連携して係合するように構成される。壁47の中に伸張する複数のつなぎ空間すなわち隙間56は、遠位端46に近接する胴体44の周囲に一定の角度で間隔を作り、ふち54とギア部材16のスナップ式係合を容易にする。その際、ギア部材16をふち54にスナップ式に取り付けるために、隙間56は、遠位端46が放射状にわずかに変形し収縮できるようにする。
図2〜4から最も良くわかるように、プロテーゼ10の一つの実施形態では、内部部材12は壁27中を放射状に伸張する複数の縦方向の隙間36を備える。隙間36は、胴体24の周囲に一定の角度で間隔を作り、壁27に沿って縦方向に伸張する。内部部材12が外部部材14内に組み立てられる時、外部部材14に対する内部部材12の回転運動を防ぐために、隙間36は、外部部材14の内部表面48から放射状に内側に突出する少なくとも一つのピン38と係合するように構成される。その際、ピン38は隙間36のうちの一つに伸張してもよく、またピン38は外部部材14に対する内部部材12の回転を防ぐために、プロテーゼ10の伸張中、縦方向の隙間36のうちの一つの内部を動いてもよい。さらに、ピン38が最も低い位置になる、つまりそれが係合する隙間の近位端39に接触する場合に、ピン38は既定の間隔を越えて内部部材12が伸張すること、つまり長軸18を平行移動することを防ぐことも可能である。
図7〜9を参照すると、ギア部材16は遠位端61から近位端63へ伸張する概して空洞の胴体60から構成され、内部壁64の少なくとも一部に沿う螺旋ねじ山62と、外部壁68の一部に沿う歯車歯の配列66を持つ。外部部材14に対する内部部材12の平行移動をもたらすために、ギア部材16は外部部材14の遠位端46に回転的に接続するように通常構成され、内部螺旋ねじ山62は内部部材12の外部ねじ山32に係合するように構成される。一つの実施形態では、ギア部材16は内部壁64の周囲に伸張する円筒形の切り欠き構造65を含み、外部部材14のふち54を連携して受け入れる。その際、ギア部材16は、縦方向および横方向の運動を保持されているが、外部部材14に対して自由に回転することも可能である。その際、前述のスナップ式構造は、比較的薄い壁の外部部材14の設計と作製を可能にし、外部ギア部材16と内部部材12のより大きい内径の作成を容易にする。結果として、プロテーゼ10の内部により多くの骨成長刺激材料を充填することが可能となる。また、ギア部材16と内部部材12のより大きい内径を作成することによって、外部ねじ山32と内部ねじ山62のより大きなねじ山のサイズが、より強い機械的強度をもたらすために利用されうる。
図7を参照すると、ギア歯66は、近位端63に対して角度を持って配置され、近位端63に近接する概して切頭円錐形のギア歯表面を形成するように、外部壁の部分68の全周に伸張する。ギア部材16の最外部外径67は、端板20、40の最小外径と同じになるか、またはそれよりわずかに小さくなるように決定される。その際、プロテーゼ10を、縦軸18に対して垂直な面の端から観察した場合、図6に示すように、ギア部材16は端板20、40の周囲を越えて放射状に外側に飛び出さない。一つの実施形態では、ギア部材の16最外径は、端板20、40の最小外径と実質的に同じサイズである。図7に示すように、一つの実施形態では、ギア歯66は、幅69を半径の方向に通常伸張し、放射状に外側にギア部材16の外径へ通常伸張する。この点において、プロテーゼ10の特定のかさ歯車比、使用される材料の種類、および所望の全体内径を鑑みて、予想されるギアの力に適合するために、歯66は幅69を持つように設計されてもよい。当業者ならば歯66が放射状に伸張する外径が大きいほど、同じ歯車比を維持しながらその歯66をより大きく設計できることを理解するであろう。この点において、歯66が大きく作製される場合、それらは通常より優れた機械的強度をもつ。また、プロテーゼ10が、PEEK、その他のプラスチック、または、例えばチタンなどと比べて機械的強度が弱い可能性のあるその他の非金属材料で作製される実施形態において、より大きく、より幅が広く、より強い歯66を設計できることは有利である。さらに、一つの実施形態で記述したように、ギア部材16の最外径は、端板20、40の最小外径ほどの大きさであってもよいため、また歯66はギア部材16の最外径へと放射状に伸張するため、ギア部材16のより大きな内径を機械的ギア強度を落とさず製造し得る。結果として、プロテーゼ10により大きな全内径が収容されるようになり、内部により多く骨材料を充填でき、ひとたびプロテーゼ10が移植された後には骨の癒合を促進することが可能となる。
図1および2に見られるように、一つの実施形態では、歯66は実質的にプロテーゼ10の外部に露出している。歯66が外周囲に露出しているため、露出している歯を覆うためにより少ない材料しか必要とせず、これはギア歯の覆いを必要とする従来技術の器具と比べて、通常プロテーゼ10をより軽くし、その製造を容易にする。さらに、ギア部材16は、ギア歯を隠すまたは覆う器具よりも外科医にとってより見やすく、回転道具を使い容易に到達できる。後でより詳しく考察するように、そのような構造は、プロテーゼ10の挿入において様々な外科的選択肢を外科医に提供し、とりわけ、道具により外部部材14周辺の複数の角度位置から歯66を係合することを可能にする。さらに、ギア部材16のスナップ式アセンブリ構造は、機械的強度を犠牲にすることなく薄い壁の部品の製造を可能にする。結果として、プロテーゼ10は骨充填材料用に大きい空間を確保するための、より大きな内径を持つことが可能となる。
図10〜12に示すように、プロテーゼ10は、かさ歯車72をその遠位端に有する道具70によって伸張されてもよい。道具70は道具軸74に沿って伸張し、操作中には、道具軸74が縦軸18に対して概して垂直になるように、道具70はプロテーゼ器具10と係合するように構成される。かさ歯車72はギア部材16の歯66と係合するように構成されており、その結果かさ歯車72が道具軸のまわりを回転する時、プロテーゼ10のギア部材16が縦軸18のまわりを回転し、プロテーゼ10を伸張するように縦軸18に沿って内部部材12が平行移動する。一つの実施形態では、プロテーゼ10と道具70の配置と取り付けを容易にするために、道具70は、かさ歯車72を越えて遠位に伸張するねじ込み遠位先端部78を持つ中心シャフト76を含んでもよい。ねじ込み遠位先端部78は、外部部材14の道具設置用穴80を通って放射状に伸張するように構成されてもよく、また先端部78は穴80の正反対に位置する壁47の内部表面48に位置するねじ穴81とねじ込み式に係合し、その結果道具70の中心シャフト76が外部部材14に固定される。ひとたび中心シャフト76が外部部材14に固定されると、かさ歯車72は中心シャフト76に対して回転し、ギア部材16の回転と内部部材12の平行移動が生じることがある。
図2と4を再度参照すると、プロテーゼ10の一つの実施形態では、複数個の装着機能つまり道具設置用穴80、82、84が外部部材14の外部表面50に沿って提供されている。異なる外科的手法の際プロテーゼ10の挿入を可能にするために、道具設置用穴80、82、84について、既定の配置で外部表面50のまわりに間隔を作ってもよい。例えば、横方向アプローチ、前外側アプローチ、または前方アプローチを介した挿入を可能にするために、穴80、82、84を配置してもよいことを当業者なら理解するであろう。図4に示すように、前方アプローチによるプロテーゼ10の患者への挿入を容易にするために、道具設置用穴80はプロテーゼ10の前面または端板20、40の短い端に向かって壁47に一定の角度で配置されまたは位置する。横方向アプローチを介するプロテーゼ10の患者への挿入を容易にするために、道具設置用穴82を、プロテーゼ10の側面または端板20、40の長い端に向かうように壁47に一定の角度で、配置しまたは位置させてもよい。さらに、前外側アプローチを介するプロテーゼ10の挿入を容易にするために、第三の道具設置用穴84を、穴80と82の間に一定の角度で配置しまたは位置させてもよい。前述したように、各設置用穴80、82、84については、対応するねじ穴81、83、85を壁47の内部表面48に形成してもよく、道具70の遠位先端部78のねじ込み係合を可能にするために、対応する道具設置用穴の正反対に配置してもよい。
図1、2、および4に最も良く示されるように、例えば、プロテーゼ10の所望の伸張が得られた場合、内部部材12と外部部材14の間の全ての相対運動を実質的に制限するために、止め部材120を提供してもよい。本発明による止め部材120の一つの実施形態では、止め部材の一部は、外部表面30すなわち内部部材12のねじ山32と係合するために、放射状に内側に外部部材14から突出してもよく、その結果外部ねじ山32の摩擦および/または変形によって、内部部材12が外部部材14にロックまたは固定される。ねじ121が回転する時に止め部材を放射状に内側に平行移動するために、内部止めねじ121を止め部材120の内側に提供してもよい。アレンレンチまたはその他の道具との係合を容易にし、ねじ121を回転させ、内部部材12を所定の位置にロックする目的で止め部材120を放射状に内側に動かすために、その外部に露出する端に六角形の頭部を持つねじ121を提供してもよい。一つの実施形態では、前述の道具設置用穴80、82、84のうちいずれかを利用する場合、外科医が容易に止め部材を伸張できるように、複数の止め部材120、122、124を、外部部材14の周辺に間隔を作って提供してもよい。
図1〜9を参照すると、端から、または縦軸18に対して垂直に観察された場合、各端板が概して細長いまたは楕円形の形状を持つ、端板20、40の一つの実施形態が示される。図6に示すように、各端板20、40は通常、中央横方向に長軸92に沿って横幅90(大きい外径)に伸長し、前後方向に短軸96に沿って縦幅94(小さい外径)に伸長する。端板が係合することになる椎体の形状に類似させるか、または模倣するために、端板20、40の形状は細長くまたは楕円に設計される。その際、端板20、40の上面と骨の接触を最大限にするために、端板20、40は既定の位置すなわち中央横方向に伸張する長軸92で椎骨の部分に係合するように構成される。
端板20、40の寸法は患者の骨格に適応するように可変する。通常、端板20、40は幅約14〜32mm(中央横方向に)、長さ約12〜25mm(前後方向に)であってよい。いくつかの実施形態では、インプラント20、40は脊椎の自然な湾曲に適応するために楔形外形を持つ。例えば、図13に示すように、前方側132から後方側134に向かって端板130の高さが徐々に低くなる楔形が一つの実施形態として示される。解剖学用語では、腰椎の自然な湾曲は脊柱前弯と言う。プロテーゼ10が腰部で使用される場合、楔の形状が腰椎の解剖を模倣する脊柱前弯の形状となるように、楔によって形成される角度136は約4度〜16度の間でなければならない。代替的な実施形態では、楔形外形は、脊椎のその他の領域における自然な湾曲を模倣するために、前方側132から後方側134に向かって高さが緩やかに上昇する結果となってよい。従って、他の実施形態では、角度136は約−4度〜−16度の間であってよい。
図1と2に示すように、複数の装着穴98は、挿入可能な骨係合部材100を受けるために端板20、40の周辺に間隔を作る。一つの実施形態では、骨係合部材100は、例えば圧入などによって穴98内に収まるように作られた円筒形基部104をそれぞれ有する円錐形の釘102を備える。代替実施形態では、異なる形状の骨係合部材100を使用してもよく、あるいは他の実施形態では骨係合部材を使用しなくてもよい。図2を再度参照すると、一つの実施形態によると、挿入を容易にするためにおよび/またはそれらが係合する椎体の形状に適応するために、端板20、40は周辺に面取りした端106を持つ。上面すなわち端板20、40の骨接触表面108はまた、より優れた初期安定性および/または端板と各椎骨の間の把握接触を提供するために、多数の種類のテクスチャリングを含んでもよい。
図に示される実施形態の寸法は本発明にとって不可欠なものではないが、本発明に従うプロテーゼ10の寸法は以下となろう。一つの実施形態では、構造や所望の用途によって、内部部材12は約13〜68mmの全長140であってもよく、外部部材は約11〜64mmの全長142であってもよく、プロテーゼ10は約15〜130mmのプロテーゼ全長まで伸張されよう。
代替的な実施形態では、プロテーゼ10の長さ、直径、形状は、異なる用途、異なる手技、脊椎の異なる部位への移植、または置換または修復されている椎体または複数の椎体の大きさに適応するように変化してもよい。例えば、プロテーゼ10は、複数の椎体を置換するためにより長い間隔に伸張可能であってもよい。また、端板20、40は様々な手技に適応するように大きさと形状が決められる。例えば、端板20、40は身長が低い患者、または頸椎の狭い領域のために小さくしてもよい。さらに、端板20、40を全く同じ形状と大きさに決める必要はなく、代替実施形態では、それらは互いに異なる形状と大きさに決定することができ、および/または異なる骨係合部材またはテクスチャリングを持つことができる。
図14〜25を参照すると、本発明による伸張可能なプロテーゼの様々な代替的な実施形態が示される。図14と15を参照すると、一つの変法では、伸張を容易にするために、歯142と係合するように中心ギア部材140を内部部材および外部部材の間に位置してもよい。図16を参照すると、別の実施形態では、伸張を容易にするために細長カム160を使用してもよい。図17に示すように、伸張をもたらすために、細長い穴172と係合するように偏心ドライバ170を使用してもよい。図18に示すように、別の実施形態では、代替の歯車装置180を使用できる。図19を参照すると、ある伸張間隔で器具を伸張しロックするために、カム止め192を持つ隙間190を使用してもよい。図20と24を参照すると、他の実施形態では、伸張を容易にするために鋏状ジャッキ200とねじ込みねじ202を使用してもよい。図24に示すように、鋏状ジャッキ200を係合するために楔204を使用してもよい。図21と22を参照すると、プロテーゼを伸張するために代替のねじ込み器具を使用してもよい。図21に示すように、ドライバ212で動かされてもよい先細りのねじ210を使用してもよい。代替的に、図22に示すように、内部部材と外部部材の間の単純ねじのねじ込み式係合を用いてもよい。器具をある伸張間隔でロックするために、位置決めねじ220も使用してもよい。図23と25を参照すると、内部部材および外部部材は、傾斜した板すなわち傾斜面に沿って動くように形状を決めてもよい。図23に示すように、ある種の伸張間隔で器具をロックするために止め楔またはリング230を提供してもよい。図25に示すように、器具の伸張を容易にするためにローラー250を提供してもよい。
