Description

510793 A7 B7 五、發明說明(ί) 【發明背景】 本發明係有關於在腰部、頸部或是胸部脊椎遭受環纖 維化撕裂.、髓核脫出或是顯著的椎間盤高度損失之椎間盤 外科治療。 當考慮到脊椎之約束的靈活性時,該椎間盤係扮演著 一個吸收機械負載的重要角色。該椎間盤係由一種柔軟的 、中央的髓核(N P )所構成者,該髓核係由一個堅韌、 交織的纖維環(A F )所環繞。脫出(h e r n i a t i 〇 n )係由於纖維環變弱所造成的一個結果。脫出症狀係 發生在當纖維環變弱時而使得髓核向後地朝向脊椎神經以 及主要的神經根部膨脹或是滲漏。最常導致的症狀是沿著 一壓縮的神經而放射狀地疼痛以及下背部疼痛,此兩種疼 痛皆會嚴重地損害病患的身體。由診斷結果中之低的平均 年齡係增加了這個問題的重要性,在美國在超過8 0 %以 上之病患的平均年齡係在5 9歲以下。 自從在1934年由Mixter以及B a r :r的最 初描述,椎間盤切除手術(d i s c e c t omy)已經 變成用於治療椎間盤脫出之最常見的外科手術程序。這個 程序係包含有將撞擊在神經根源或是脊椎神經後部到該椎 間盤的椎間盤材料移除。根據外科醫生的喜愛,不同數量 的髓核係隨後經由該脫出位置或是經由纖維環中的一個切 口而被從該椎間盤空間移除。通常,此種將額外的髓核移 除之動作係被實施以將週期性發生的脫出風險減到最小。 然而,椎間盤切除手術最重要的缺點係爲脫出的復發 3 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 x 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) 言 Γ 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合阼法沪鞑 5Λ0793 A7 B7 五、發明說明(> ) 、根症狀的復發以及增加下背的疼痛。在案例中,再次脫 出係可能會有高於2 1 %的發生機率。該再次脫出之位置 係最常出現在與先前的脫出一樣之高度及側邊’而且係可 發生在經過該纖維環中之相同的變弱位置處。根症狀的持 續或是復發係發生在許多病患身上,而且當與再次脫出沒 有關聯時,其係傾向於與由該動過手術之椎間盤減少的高 度所造成之神經孔的狹窄症相關。衰弱的下背疼痛係大約 發生在1 4 %的病患身上。所有的這些缺點係大部分與由 於脫出以及外科手術所造成之髓核材料以及纖維環勝任能 力的損失直接相關。 髓核材料的損失係使得該椎間盤緊縮,因而造成椎間 盤高度的減少。在高達9 8 %之動過手術的病患身上已經 被注意到椎間盤高度之明顯減少。椎間盤高度的損失係增 加了椎骨關節面之負載情形。此種情形係可導致軟骨小面 惡化以及最終在此關節處造成骨關節炎以及疼痛。隨著該 關節空間的減少,該由上椎根以及下椎根所形成的神經孔 亦關閉。如此係導致孔狹窄、橫向神經根部之夾痛以及循 環的根疼痛。髓核的損失亦增加了該剩下的纖維環上的負 載,一種可導致疼痛之受神經支配的結構。最後,髓核的 損失係使得該纖維環在負載作用下產生更大的膨脹凸出。 此種情形係可經由在椎間盤後側的神經結構上之纖維環而 造成再度的影響。 由於脫出或是外科手術切口所造成之纖維環的持續撕 裂亦會對椎間盤切除手術造成不良的結果。該纖維環已被 4 (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) Γ -•为-

久的減少,特別是對於抵抗扭力的負載。如此係可能對該 等小面造成過大的應力以及促成他們的惡化。此外,在大 約3 0 %的案例中,該纖維環係從未關閉。在該等案例中 ,不但會發生一個再次脫出的風險,而且亦可能發生流體 或是固體從該髓核內洩漏到脊髓之硬膜外腔。此種情形係 已被顯示會造成局部的疼痛、脊髓神經根部的刺激、神經 傳送速度的降低以及可能促進該硬膜外腔之手術後的傷痕 組織之形成。 其它包含有將軟組織從一關節移除以減輕疼痛的整型 外科程序係造成明顯、長久的結果。其中一個例子係爲移 除全部或是部分的膝蓋半月板。部分以及全部的關節半月 板切除術係導致在膝蓋處之增大的骨關節炎變性以及對許 多病患需要進一步的外科手術。在外科醫生中一個主要的 努力是修復而不是切除被撕裂的半月板,該努力係造成更 加持久的結果以及減輕關節的惡化。 用於修復軟組織之撕裂的系統以及方法係爲此項技術 領域中廣爲人知者。此種系統的其中一個係有關於膝蓋半 月板之修復,以及係被限制於一個有刺組織錨件、一個連 接的縫合長度以及一個保持縫合的元件,其係可被固定於 該縫合處以及用於將一撕裂處的側邊拖拉至並置位置。這 5 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) · 丨線- 經濟部智慧財產局員工消費合作社印製

破裂。當確實發生有撕裂的情形時,他們經常爲放射狀者 〇 另一個在此項技術領域中所習知的裝置係爲一個在先 前地鄰近的軟組織中之一撕裂處的修復所準備者。箭形錨 件係以一個大致地垂直於該撕裂處之平面的方式而放置穿 過該撕裂處。導引自至少二個錨件之每一者的縫線係隨後 被結繫在一起,以使得該撕裂處的相對側邊被在靠近一起 。然而,有關於以上所述之椎間盤修復的所有限制係有關 於這個裝置。 一種使用張力以誘導軟組織生長的裝置以及方法亦爲 此項技術領域中所廣爲人知者。該等習知的實施例以及方 法係需要一個彈簧以作用張力,因而在椎間盤脫出方面係 限制了它們的應用。除了將一個彈簧放置在椎間盤中有限 之空間內的困難之外,一個彈簧將會導致該連接之組織的 連續位移’其係可能會有害於該椎間盤的結構以及功能。 —彈簧係可能進一步地容許一個在該椎間盤中後面的膨出 前進應該作用在該盤之內超過該彈簧所作用的張力。再者 ’該習知的裝置係被設計成一旦達到意欲的組織生長時, 6 本紙張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)A4規格(210 X 297公釐) (請先閱讀背面之注意事項再填寫本頁) J^T· .線· 510793 A7 B7 五、發明說明($ ) 該裝置便可以被移除。因此係造成需要有一個第二次程序 之缺點。 在此項技術領域中係揭示有許多種擴大椎間盤方式。

支撐纖維環或是植入物係使得該擴大的材料增加再次脫出 的危險。此外,那些帶有可佈署之元件的裝置係增加了該 椎骨尾盤或是纖維環傷害的危險。如此係可幫助不需要在 纖維環中的一裂縫,但是再次的脫出。纖維環的結構缺點 或是多層的分層係可允許這些植入物凸出向該背面神經元 素。額外地,隨著椎間盤繼續的退化,背面環中的租費可 能在除了這個原始操作的位置以外的地區發生。這些槪念

也許對治療鼠蹊部的脫出合適,由於越過這樣的缺口的低 壓力差別。然而,把一個栓放在許多抵抗高多的壓力的纖 維環裡可能導致栓的排出或解剖由髓核環的內部層。任一 複雜化必定導致異常疼痛或損失病人的注油。進一步,如 纖維環進一步削弱,椎間盤中的脫出很有可能延伸。在這 樣的一個例子中,栓可能排出進入至硬腦膜上的空間。 另一個脫出修復裝置包商一個彎曲的義肢的網格用於 鼠蹊部的脫出。裝置包括一片材料其有一個凸面及一個凹 面及進一步的實施例具有球形及錐形的部分。這個裝置可 能適合得好於鼠蹊部的脫出,但是,揭露的實施例形狀及 硬度爲在椎間盤的脫出方面應用比最理想少。脫出擴大( 在椎間盤的圓周周圍)比他們高(在相對椎骨間的距距離 )’由錐形或球形的貼片一個形狀不適合閉合。 另一個裝置包含可膨脹的,倒鉤的氣球碎片用於閉合
