- The present invention relates generally to a spinal fixation and retrieval device, and more particularly to a spinal fixation and retrieval device capable of providing micromotion.
- The conventional spinal fixation and retrieval device contains a rigid bone plate and bone nails, which is implanted in the body of a patient under spinal treatment with the bone nails and the bone plate being intimately joined together. In light of the intervertebral distance being caused to shorten by the body weight of the patient in the wake of surgery, the bone plate and bone nails are susceptible to falling apart. The bone nails are even vulnerable to severance. In addition, all the bone nails fastened onto the bone plate are prone to be affected, when one bone nail is out of order. As shown in FIGS. 1a, and 1 b, the prior art device comprises a
bone plate 100′ and a plurality ofscrews 200′. FIG. 1a shows a schematic view taken immediately after the surgery. FIG. 1b is a side view of FIG. 1a. The prior art device is implanted into thespinal segments spinal segments bone nails 200′, thespinal segments bone plate 100′ are intimately joined together such that the threadedstems 280 are parallel to each other. FIGS. 1c and 1 d are schematic views taken in a period after the surgery. As shown in FIG. 1c, the distance “d” becomes smaller, due to the body weight of the patient. As shown in FIG. 1d, the threadedstems 280 are no longer parallel to each other; they form therebetween an acute angle. As a result, thebone nails 200′ are apt to become unfastened. A crack or severance may occur in thenecks 220′ of thebone nails 200′. - With a view to providing a solution to the problem described above, this inventor of the present invention disclosed a drawer-type vertebral auxiliary fixation device capable of providing micromotion in U.S. Pat. No. 5,616,142. However, this drawer-type device is by no means free of deficiency. For example, the drawer-type device can not be easily bent to conform to the spinal curvature. In addition, the structural strength of the drawer-type device is often inadequate unless the device has an appropriate height. Moreover, the drawer-type device does not have a supporting force at the time when the surgery is completed.

- FIG. 6 show a top view of the spinal fixation and retrieval device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- As shown in FIGS.3 to 5, the spinal fixation and retrieval device constructed according to a first embodiment of the present invention comprises a
bone plate 100 and a plurality ofscrews 200. - The
bone plate 100 is provided with a plurality of slot holes 120, via which thescrews 200 are fastened onto spinal segments under treatment. The screws have ahead 210, aneck 220, and a threadedstem 230. - The slot holes120 are long slot holes, each of which is provided at the bottom with a
protruded edge 121. Thehead 210 of the screw has a diameter ranging between the short diameter of thelong slot hole 120 and the short diameter of the protrudededge 121, and theneck 220 has a diameter is slightly smaller than the short diameter of the protrudededge 121. The diameter of thehead 210 of the screw is smaller than the long diameter of thelong slot hole 120. Therefore, thescrews 200 will be restricted in the lateral direction of thelong slot hole 120 after theplate 100 and thescrews 200 are implanted onto the vertebrae, but thescrews 200 and theplate 100 are able to move relatively in the longitudinal direction of thelong slot hole 120. - The
bone plate 100 of the present invention is similar in shape and structure to the prior art bone plates; however, at least one of the holes of the bone plate of the present invention is along slot hole 120 having a long diameter and a short diameter. Instead of the protrudededge 121 provided at the bottom of thelong slot hole 120, thelong slot hole 120 may be provided with slanted outward from the bottom to the upper portion of the bone plate. In this case, the long diameter and the short diameter of the upper portion of the long slot hole are respectively greater than the long diameter and the short diameter of the bottom of the long slot hole. The word “upper” refers to a face away from the post-surgery spinal segment. The word “bottom” refers to a face toward the post-surgery spinal segment. The definitions of “upper” and “lower” are applicable throughout the entire text of this specification. - The holes of the bone plate may be provided in a manner so that only one hole is used per spinal segment. According to the present invention, as least one of the holes is a
long slot hole 120. In the event that the n number (n>2) of the spinal segments are to be fixed and only one hole is used per spinal segment, preferably n−1 number of the holes of the bone plate are long slot holes 120. If the holes of the bone plate are provided in a manner so that a pair of holes are used per spinal segment,, as least one pair of the holes are long slot holes 120 according to the present invention. In the same pattern, for the bone plate fixing n (n>2) spinal segments and only one pair of holes are used per spinal segment, preferably n−1 pairs of the holes of the bone plate are long slot holes 120. Of course, all slot holes may be long slot holes as shown in the first embodiment of the present invention. The bone plate may be further provided with acenter hole 110 and locatingholes 130, which are located between the slot holes 120, as shown in FIG. 3. The bone plate may be further provided with one or more tool holes. The center hole, tool hole, and locating hole are optional. - The screws used in the present invention are similar in construction to the prior art screws having a head, a neck, and a threaded stem; preferably, the threaded stem has a special thread. The
head 210 is of any shape, preferably, round shape. Thehead 210 has a diameter which is substantially smaller than the short diameter of the upper portion of thelong slot hole 120 and is greater than the short diameter of the protrudededge 121 of thelong slot hole 120. Thehead 210 may be further provided with atool hole 211. Theneck 220 has a diameter which is slightly smaller than the short diameter of the protrudededge 121 of the long slot hole. The threadedstem 230 as shown in FIG. 4a has afirst spiral ridge 221 contiguous to theneck 220 and afirst shank 222. Preferably, the short diameter of the protrudededge 121 of the long slot hole ranges between the diameter of thefirst spiral ridge 221 and the diameter of thefirst shank 222, thereby enabling thescrew 200 to be better equipped to join with thebone plate 100. Theprotruded edge 121 has a thickness, which is smaller than the pitch of thethread stem 230. Preferably, the thickness of the protrudededge 121 is substantially about equal to the pitch of the threadedstem 230. The threadedstem 230 of thescrew 200 is gradually smaller in diameter from thefirst spiral ridge 221, and may be equal in diameter. - The device of the present invention is implanted into the
spinal segments spinal segments screws 200, thespinal segments bone plate 100 are intimately joined together such that the threaded stems 230 are parallel to each other. As shown in FIGS. 2c and 2 d, in a period after the surgery, the distance between thespinal segments screws 200 are caused to displace in the slot holes 120 and move inward. The word “inward” refers to the direction toward the center of thebone plate 100. - FIGS. 4a and 4 b show that the device of the present invention can be implanted at various angles in the lateral direction, with the maximum angle being 22 degrees. The allowable angle can be much greater by a design change in the
protruded edge 121 and thehead 210 of thescrews 200. The bone plate shown in FIGS. 4a and 4 b is provided with two center holes. - FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4b, but in the longitudinal direction. The
screw 200 can be fastened onto the spinal segment via the long slot hole at various angles in the longitudinal direction, with the maximum angle being 70 degrees. The bone plate shown in FIG. 5 is provided with two center holes. - The spinal fixation and retrieval device according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 6, wherein the reference numerals of110, 115, and 116 denote the center holes, whereas the reference numerals of 120, 125, 170, and 175 denote the long slot holes. The bone plate is intended for use in fixing four spinal segments. The bone plate can be easily bent to conform to the curvatures of the four spinal segments, thanks to the center holes 110, 115, and 116.
