Description

脊椎桿件連結裝置Spinal rod connecting device

本發明係有關一種脊椎桿件連結裝置,尤指一種可調整角度之脊椎桿件連結裝置。The invention relates to a spinal rod connecting device, in particular to an adjustable angle spinal rod connecting device.

脊椎固定手術中,常用固定桿作為輔助固定裝置,但因脊椎並不是成一直線,各脊椎骨節通常也不平行,例如腰椎為脊柱腹凸(lordosis)。因此若將原本成一直線的固定桿,直接和植入待固定脊椎骨節的複數支骨釘結合固定成一體,將迫使不在一直線上的待固定脊椎骨節變成在一直線上,並使原本不該平行的各個待固定脊椎骨節變成平行。In the spinal fixation surgery, the fixed rod is often used as an auxiliary fixation device, but because the spine is not in a straight line, the vertebrae are usually not parallel, for example, the lumbar vertebra is lordosis. Therefore, if the fixed rod that is originally in line is directly integrated with the multiple bone nails implanted in the vertebral joint to be fixed, it will force the spinal joints to be fixed not in the straight line to become in a straight line, and the original should not be parallel. The individual vertebrae to be fixed become parallel.

為了避免上述缺失,因此醫療界提出各種改良結構,諸如:In order to avoid these shortcomings, the medical community has proposed various improved structures, such as:

1. 以有角度的螺釘(angled screw)解決問題,諸如US-5,176,679、US-5,196,014、US-5,257,994、US-5,466,238等;例如US-5,176,679利用有角度的骨釘(locking pins designed to have specific angles,),來解決上述脊椎骨節通常並不平行問題。但該等方法只適用於一支固定桿和兩支骨釘之間的脊椎骨節固定(因為兩點成一直線),但不適用於一支固定桿和三支(含)骨釘以上的脊椎骨節固定,因為三點通常不在一直線上,此外,該等方法在手術後,患部不具有動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion)等及緩衝(cushion)功能。1. Solve problems with angled screws such as US-5,176,679, US-5,196,014, US-5,257,994, US-5,466,238, etc.; for example US-5,176,679 utilizes angled pins designed to have specific angles ,), to solve the above-mentioned spine joints are usually not parallel problems. However, these methods are only suitable for the fixation of the vertebrae between a fixed rod and two bone nails (because the two points are in line), but not for a fixed rod and three or more bones above the bone. Fixed because the three points are usually not in line. In addition, after the operation, the affected part does not have dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and axial torsion. Wait for the buffer function.

2. 以有角度的固定塊(angled connector)解決問題,諸如US-5,257,994、US-5,330,474等;例如US-5,257,994利用有角度的固定塊(locking block designed to have specific angles),來解決上述脊椎骨節通常並不平行問題。但該等方法只適用於一支固定桿和兩支骨釘之間的脊椎骨節固定(因為兩點成一直線),但不適用於一支固定桿和三支(含)骨釘以上的脊椎骨節固定,因為三點通常不在一直線上,此外,該等方法在手術後,患部不具有動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion)等及緩衝(cushion)功能。2. Solve the problem with an angled connector, such as US-5,257,994, US-5,330,474, etc.; for example, US-5,257,994 utilizes locking blocks designed to have specific angles to solve the above-mentioned spine joints. Usually not parallel problems. However, these methods are only suitable for the fixation of the vertebrae between a fixed rod and two bone nails (because the two points are in line), but not for a fixed rod and three or more bones above the bone. Fixed because the three points are usually not in line. In addition, after the operation, the affected part does not have dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and axial torsion. Wait for the buffer function.

3. 以萬向結合裝置(universal connecting device)解決問題,諸如US-5,474,551、US-5,507,746、US-5,575,791等;例如US-5,474,551係利用萬向墊片固定裝置(a universal pad fixation device),來解決上述脊椎骨節通常並不平行問題。但該等方法只適用於一支固定桿和兩支骨釘之間的脊椎骨節固定(因為兩點成一直線),但不適用於一支固定桿和三支(含)骨釘以上的脊椎骨節固定,因為三點通常不在一直線上,此外,該等方法在手術後,患部不具有動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion)等及緩衝(cushion)功能。3. Solve problems with a universal connecting device, such as US-5,474,551, US-5,507,746, US-5,575,791, etc.; for example, US-5,474,551 utilizes a universal pad fixation device. Solving the above-mentioned vertebrae is usually not a parallel problem. However, these methods are only suitable for the fixation of the vertebrae between a fixed rod and two bone nails (because the two points are in line), but not for a fixed rod and three or more bones above the bone. Fixed because the three points are usually not in line. In addition, after the operation, the affected part does not have dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and axial torsion. Wait for the buffer function.

4. 以多軸螺釘(polyaxial screw)解決問題,諸如美國核准專利US-5,520,690、US-5,531,746、......US-7,186,2552、US-7,207,992等數十筆,及美國相關的公開專利申請案US-20010012937、US-20020111626、......、US-20070161995、US-20070162006等數十筆。這是目前的主流技術。該等技術基本上都是利用多軸螺釘(細節參見該案說明書),來解決上述脊椎骨節通常並不平行問題。4. Solve problems with polyaxial screws, such as US approved patents US-5,520,690, US-5,531,746, ...US-7,186,2552, US-7,207,992, etc., and related publications in the United States Dozens of patent applications such as US-20010012937, US-20020111626, ..., US-20070161995, US-20070162006, etc. This is the current mainstream technology. These techniques basically utilize multi-axis screws (see the description of the details) to solve the problem that the above-mentioned vertebrae are usually not parallel.

但上述該等方法只適用於一支固定桿和兩支骨釘之間的脊椎骨節固定(因為兩點成一直線),但不適用於一支固定桿和三支(含)骨釘以上的脊椎骨節固定,因為三點通常不在一直線上,此外,該等方法在手術後,患部不具有動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion)等及緩衝(cushion)功能。However, the above methods are only applicable to the fixation of the vertebrae between a fixed rod and two bone nails (because the two points are in line), but not for a fixed rod and three or more bone bones. The section is fixed because the three points are usually not in line. In addition, after the procedure, the affected part does not have dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and axial torsion. ) and buffer (cushion) function.

該等方法在手術後,患部雖具有動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion),但該設計穩定性差且具有鬆脫的危險性同時也需佔用較大的空間,此外該設計亦無緩衝(cushion)功能。These methods have dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and axial torsion after surgery, but the design is poor in stability and has the risk of loosening. Sex also takes up a lot of space, and the design also has no cushioning function.

本發明人等之台灣專利TW-200936097利用球弧裝置與彈性設計使脊椎固定桿同時具備上述的動態功能,如後彎(extension)、前屈(flexion)、側彎(lateral bending)、扭轉(axial torsion)及緩衝(cushion)功能,但該專利係利用一外加之連結裝置,讓第一杯體與第二杯體加以連結,如此該脊椎固定裝置將需要加大的空間,而使手術較為不便與耗時。The inventor's Taiwan patent TW-200936097 utilizes a ball arc device and an elastic design to make the spinal fixation rod simultaneously have the above-mentioned dynamic functions such as extension, flexion, lateral bending, and torsion ( Axial torsion) and cushioning function, but the patent uses an additional coupling device to connect the first cup to the second cup, so that the spinal fixation device will require more space, so that the surgery is more Inconvenience and time consuming.
