Definitions

  • the invention relates to preparing recesses or holes in bones of humans or animals.
  • implants e.g. in the form of screws may be introduced.
  • Such screws may be used for example to treat fractures of bones.
  • the recesses were generally drilled with a rotating tool and both the recesses and the screws or pins to be inserted therein usually have a circular cross-section. Due to this circular cross-section, a single recess-screw-combination is not suitable to accommodate rotation forces applied around the axis of the screw. In order to accommodate such rotation forces which may occur for example when fixing two parts of bones together or when fixing an implant to a bone, it has been necessary to provide a plurality of screws or pins inserted into a plurality of recesses prepared in the bone.
  • the necessity of preparing a plurality of recesses in a bone for example during a surgical intervention requires additional work for a physician. Furthermore, the preparation of a plurality of recesses in a bone may increase the discomfort for a patient and may delay the healing.
  • One aspect of the present invention is to provide a punching device for preparing a recess in a bone, a punching tool adapted to be used in such punching device or an implant adapted to be used as a punching tool for such punching device.
  • a method is also disclosed for preparing a recess in a bone wherein the necessity of preparing a plurality of recesses can be avoided when an implantation device is to be inserted into a bone such that it can accommodate rotational forces between it and the bone.
  • the punching device comprises: an ultrasonic sonotrode, a punching tool being fixable to the sonotrode at its proximal extremity, wherein, at its distal extremity, the punching tool has a thin-walled portion having a cross section not being rotationally symmetric.
  • the thin-walled portion preferably has a wall thickness (t) of less than 2 mm and may have an annular cross section.
  • the thin-walled portion annular cross section may have a non-symmetric cross section.
  • the punching tool may be made of a bio-compatible or bioabsorbable material.
  • the punching device thin-walled portion can have a lateral surface providing a high surface friction.
  • An ultrasonic generator is adapted to excite the punching tool with a vibration frequency of between 10 kHz and 100 kHz and a vibration amplitude of between 1 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m.
  • a punching tool usable for preparing a recess in a bone wherein the punching tool is adapted to be used in a punching device as described above.
  • An implant is inserted into a bone, wherein the implant is adapted to be used as a punching tool for a punching device.
  • a method for preparing a recess in a bone comprising: providing a punching device; abutting the punching tool on the bone; vibrating the punching tool with ultrasonic vibrations and pushing the punching tool into the bone.
  • the method includes the step of removing the punching tool from the bone and releasing the punching tool from the sonotrode.
  • a punching device for preparing a recess in a bone comprises an ultrasonic sonotrode and a punching tool being fixable to the sonotrode at its proximal extremity.
  • the punching tool has a thin-walled portion at its distal extremity.
  • An ultrasonic sonotrode is a mechanical component which is adapted to transmit ultrasonic vibrations emitted by an ultrasonic generator to a tool which may be fixed to the ultrasonic sonotrode.
  • the sonotrode can comprise a mechanism for fixedly coupling the sonotrode to an ultrasonic generator and a mechanism for coupling a tool to be vibrated to the sonotrode.
  • the punching tool may be axially slidable in relation to the ultrasonic sonotrode and the vibrating sonotrode may “hammer” onto the tool.
  • the punching tool is adapted to be fixed to the sonotrode at its proximal extremity.
  • the punching tool can be an elongated member. It may have a sufficient rigidity to transmit ultrasonic vibrations from its proximal extremity to its distal extremity.
  • the punching tool has a thin-walled portion.
  • the thin-walled portion may be for example, a portion, where, in the cross-section of the thin-walled portion, a dimension in one direction of the thin-walled portion is substantially larger, for example three times larger, preferably ten times larger, than a dimension in a direction perpendicular thereto.
  • the thin-walled portion of the punching tool can have a linear or a curved cross-section.
  • the thin-walled portion may have a non-rotational symmetric cross-section, i.e. a cross-section having no rotational symmetry.
  • the two-dimensional geometry of the cross-section of the thin-walled portion can not be described by rotation of any one-dimensional pattern.
  • the cross-section is non-round.
  • the cross-section is taken in a plane normal to the longitudinal axis of the punching tool.
  • the present invention is based on the idea that by using the punching tool which is fixedly coupled to an ultrasonic sonotrode which itself is coupled to an ultrasonic generator such that ultrasonic vibrations can be transmitted to the distal extremity of the punching tool, a recess of arbitrary circumferential geometry can be created within a bone.
  • the punching tool may be abutted against the bone and the vibrating punching tool may be pushed into the bone.
  • the ultrasonic vibrations on the punching tool may act as little hammer blows whereby the punching tool may be forced into the bone.
  • the punching tool In order to generate a high pressure between the punching tool and the bone, the punching tool has a thin-walled portion such that the contact area between the punching tool and the bone is kept small.
  • the recess in the bone prepared thereby will have a non-rotationally symmetric cross-section.
  • a corresponding non-rotationally symmetric implant may be press-fitted for positive fitting within the recess.
  • rotational forces acting around the longitudinal axis of the implant may be absorbed by the implant and it may not be necessary to prepare a plurality of recesses in the bone in order to absorb such rotational forces.
  • the thin-walled portion has a wall thickness of less than 2 mm, preferably less than 1 mm and more preferred between 0.2 and 0.5 mm.
  • the thickness of the thin-walled portion should be sufficient in order to provide sufficient stability for the thin-walled portion during preparing the recess in the bone such that the thin-walled portion does not deform or deflect during the process of preparing the recess and the vibration from the sonotrode is reliably transmitted to the contact area between punching tool and bone.
  • the thin-walled portion has an annular cross-section.
  • the thin-walled portion may have a self-contained, ring-like closed structure which, however, preferably should not have a circular cross-section.
  • the thin-walled portion may have the form of a hollow triangle, a hollow rectangle or any other hollow polygon.
  • the thin-walled portion has a non-symmetric cross-section.
  • This lack of symmetry i.e. lack of mirror symmetry or lack of point symmetry or both, can be used to align an implant to be inserted into the recess in a predetermined way. Accordingly, already when preparing the recess in the bone an orientation of the implant to be fitted therein may be predetermined.
  • the punching tool comprise a metallic material.
  • a metallic material E.g. any kind of stainless steel, titanium alloys, aluminium alloys such as Ti6Al4v, APX, 1.4057, 1.4442, etc can be used.
  • Bio-compatible metals are preferably used. Such bio-compatible material can be used for the punching tool in order to avoid interferences from occurring when punching a recess into a bone.
  • the punching tool comprises a polymeric material.
  • a polymeric material E.g. any kind of thermoplastic material such as e.g. PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), UHMWPE (Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene), and bioabsorbable materials such as PLA (Polylactic acid), PLLA (Poly-L-lactide), PLDLA (Poly(D,L-Lactid)), PDLLA (Poly-DL-lactide), PVDF (Polyvinylidene Difluoride), PPSU or ABS may be used.
  • Such punching tools made with a bio-resorbable material can be used both for punching the recess into the bone and later on as an implant to remain in the prepared recess. Therein, after preparing the recess, the punching tool can be released from the ultrasonic sonotrode. It can remain in the prepared recess and after a predetermined period for healing, be resorbed in the bone.
  • the thin-walled portion of the punching tool has a lateral surface providing a high surface friction.
  • a thin-walled portion having an annular cross-section it may be advantageous to provide the inner surface of the thin-walled portion such that high surface friction is obtained e.g. by providing this surface with a suitable surface geometry such as for example an increased roughness or by providing this surface with a material having a high coefficient of friction.
  • the punching tool may be first forced into the bone thereby preparing a recess in the form of the annular cross-section.
  • the thin-walled portion having such high surface friction on its inner surface may entrain the bone portion located within the annular thin-walled portion, thereby preparing a complete hole comprising both the annular cross-section and the area therein. Accordingly, with such punching device a recess can be prepared in a bone the cross-section of which is substantially larger than the cross-section of the thin-walled portion of the punching tool.
  • the punching device further comprises an ultrasonic generator.
  • This ultrasonic generator may be suitably adapted to be coupled with the ultrasonic sonotrode such that ultrasonic vibrations may be transmitted from the generator to the sonotrode.
  • the ultrasonic generator is adapted to excite the punching tool with a vibration frequency of between 10 kHz and 100 kHz, preferably between 20 kHz and 40 kHz.
  • the ultrasonic generator is adapted to excite the punching tool with a vibration amplitude of between 1 ⁇ m and 300 ⁇ m, preferably between 5 ⁇ m and 100 ⁇ m.
  • the vibration amplitude is defined in a direction perpendicular to the initial contact surface between the thin-walled portion of the punching tool and the bone, this being usually a longitudinal direction of the punching tool.
  • the vibration amplitude might be selected taking into account the kind of bone into which a recess is to be introduced. For example, in weak bones a small vibration amplitude of e.g. 5 ⁇ m might be advantageous in order not to excessively stress such bones whereas in strong bones a higher vibration amplitude of e.g. 100 ⁇ m might be advantageous as the recess can be prepared faster.
  • a further aspect of the present invention is directed to a punching tool being usable for preparing a recess in a bone wherein the punching tool is adapted to be used in a punching device according to the first aspect described above.
  • Such a punching tool may be provided independently from the ultrasonic sonotrode.
  • the sonotrode and the punching tool should be adapted such that they can be coupled together such that ultrasonic vibrations can be transmitted from the sonotrode to the punching tool.
  • a plurality of punching tools having different geometry in their thin-walled portions may be provided such that a physician can choose a suitable punching tool during an operation and also may release and replace a punching tool during an operation.
  • an implant to be inserted into a bone wherein the implant is adapted to be used as a punching tool for the inventive punching device as described above.
  • Such implant should satisfy two requirements: (a) On the one hand it should be sufficiently rigid to be used as a punching tool for preparing a recess in a bone; (b) on the other hand it should have a suitable material and/or geometry in order to be able to remain in the recess previously prepared therewith.
  • a method for preparing a recess in a bone comprising: providing a punching device according to the above first aspect; abutting the punching tool of the punching device on the bone; vibrating the punching tool with ultrasonic vibrations and pushing the punching tool into the bone.
  • the punching tool can be removed from the bone after preparing the recess.
  • a recess may be prepared in the bone into which an implant can subsequently be inserted.
  • the punching tool may be released from the sonotrode after pushing it into the bone and the punching tool may remain in the prepared recess as an implant.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a punching device according to an embodiment of the invention
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b show embodiments of the punching device and different uses thereof according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 3 a to 3 e show different cross-sectional geometries of the thin-walled portion of the punching tool according to embodiments of the invention.
  • a punching device 1 comprises an ultrasonic generator 3 controlled via a control 5 , an ultrasonic sonotrode 7 and a punching tool 9 .
  • the ultrasonic sonotrode 7 is coupled to the ultrasonic generator 3 via a fixation mechanism 11 which can comprise for example a frame 13 and a clamping screw 15 .
  • the ultrasonic generator 3 is adapted to emit ultrasonic vibrations with an adaptable frequency of e.g. 20 to 50 kHz which are transmitted to the sonotrode 7 .
  • the arrow A in FIG. 1 indicates a direction of these ultrasonic vibrations.
  • the ultrasonic generator 3 may be adapted to produce ultrasonic vibrations with a selectable amplitude of between 5 and 100 ⁇ m along the direction A.
  • the punching tool 9 is coupled to the ultrasonic sonotrode 7 via a further fixation mechanism 17 which can comprise a clamping screw 19 . Thereby, the ultrasonic vibrations can be transmitted from the sonotrode to the punching tool.
  • the punching tool 9 comprises at its proximal extremity a solid portion 21 and at its distal extremity a thin-walled portion 23 .
  • the thin-walled portion 23 can have a non-round cross-section as will be described further below with reference to FIGS. 3 a to 3 e.
  • the thin-walled portion 23 exerts a significant pressure onto the bone while being vibrated up and down in a hammer-like manner. Due to this ultrasonic “hammering” the thin-walled portion 23 of the punching tool 9 can be introduced into the bone. In contrast to conventional drilling methods, there is no rotating of the punching tool such that the recess which is prepared by the punching device does not need to have a rotational geometry.
  • FIGS. 2 a and 2 b show different embodiments of punching tools usable for preparing recesses of different cross-sectional areas in a bone.
  • the lateral surfaces 27 , 29 of the thin-walled portion of the punching tool 9 both have a low surface friction. Accordingly, the punching tool 9 can be easily withdrawn from the bone after preparing the recess in the bone.
  • the recess itself then has a cross-section which essentially corresponds to the cross-section of the thin-walled portion. Accordingly, the portion of an implant to be inserted into the recess should approximately have the geometry as the thin-walled portion of the punching tool.
  • the punching tool itself can act as such implant and can remain in the recess after preparing the recess.
  • the thin-walled portion of the punching tool 9 can have a low surface friction on its outer lateral surface 29 whereas it can have a high surface friction at its inner lateral surface 27 . Accordingly, after preparing the recess in the bone by ultrasonic “hammering” the thin-walled portion into the bone, when removing the punching tool from the bone, a part of the bone lying between the inner lateral surfaces 27 of the thin-walled portion can be removed therewith due to the high surface friction. Subsequently, a massive implant can be press-fitted into the large-area recess.
  • FIGS. 3 a to 3 e several possibilities for the cross-section of the thin-walled portion of the punching tool are schematically shown.
  • FIG. 3 a shows a triangular cross-section.
  • FIG. 3 b shows a rectangular cross-section.
  • FIG. 3 c shows a star-like cross-section.
  • FIG. 3 d shows an arbitrary non-symmetric cross-section. All of the cross-sections for the thin-walled portion shown in FIGS. 3 a to 3 d include a closed annular cross-section having an inner lateral surface 29 and an outer lateral surface 27 .
  • the cross-section shown in FIG. 3 e is serpent-like and has no annular cross-section. Furthermore, a wall thickness (t) of the thin-walled portion is shown.
  • All of the cross-sections for the thin-walled portion of the punching tools shown in FIGS. 3 a to 3 e have no rotational symmetry and are therefore suitable to prepare a corresponding non-rotationally symmetric recess in a bone in which an implant can be inserted which then is able to absorb a rotational force around the longitudinal axis of the punching device.
  • the punching device comprises an ultrasonic sonotrode 7 and a punching tool 9 which is fixable to the sonotrode at its proximal extremity.
  • the punching tool 9 has a thin-walled portion 23 having a rotationally non-symmetric cross-section.
  • the thin-walled portion can be forced into a bone thereby preparing a recess which is not rotationally symmetric.
  • an implant can be held in such recess. Due to its lack of rotational symmetry, the implant may absorb rotational forces around its longitudinal axis.
