Description
- In accordance with 37 C.F.R. 1.76, a claim of priority is included in an Application Data Sheet filed concurrently herewith. Accordingly, the present invention claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/704,132, entitled “MINIMALLY INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY INSTRUMENTS”, filed Sep. 21, 2012. The contents of which the above referenced application is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention relates to instruments and implants used to treat various problems of the spine; to a spinal rod for use in surgical procedures of the spine; and more particularly to a spinal rod with a t least one flange attached thereto.
- Minimally invasive spine surgery can be use to effectively treat disorders of the spinal discs with minimal muscle related injury. In many procedures, a surgeon makes several small incisions (percutaneous) wherein a miniature camera (usually a laparoscope or endoscope) is placed so the surgeon can view the procedure as a magnified image on video monitors in the operating room. Specialized instruments are placed through the incisions to perform various procedures. Minimally invasive spine surgery may include: Spinal fusion such as on degenerative disks; deformity corrections, such as for scoliosis; repair of herniated disks; repair and stabilization of vertebral compression fractures and decompression of spinal tumors to name a few. In certain cases of degenerative discs, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal column tumors, infection, fractures and herniated discs, minimally invasive techniques may speed recovery, minimize post-operative pain and improve the final outcome.
- Disclosed are various instruments and implants for use in minimally invasive surgical operations.
- The invention disclosed is directed to various instruments and implants used in minimally invasive spine surgery. Disclosed is a spinal rod having at lest one flange. The spinal rod with flange as described herein provides advantages over the current spinal rods in that the spinal rods currently in use are made in multiple lengths to accommodate patients with individual construct length requirements. Moreover, the spinal rods are typically round with a constant diameter from end to end. When placed in placing the rods into the receiving components often the view is obstructed by tissue in the wound and proper alignment is difficult to assess and control. It is common that a surgeon will select a rod size unnecessarily long to ensure a margin of error and adequate engagement. The extra length can cause discomfort to the patient as well as other complications both intra and post operatively. If a rod is too short for the construct length, loosening can occur over time leading to disassembly of the construct and result in the need for reoperation. The present invention overcomes these shortcomings through the inclusion of the flanges at least one end.
- Objectives, advantages and benefits associated with these inventions will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the description and drawings which follow.

FIGS. 1-5B , set forth is a bone fixation device, illustrated herein as aspinal rod 10. Thespinal rod 10 comprises a first end 12, a second opposingend 14, and amain body 16 there between. Themain body 16 is preferably elongated having a generally cylindrical shape constructed and arranged to secure to a plurality of bone screw anchors, such aspedicle screw assemblies main body 16 may be linear. Alternatively, themain body 16 may have a predetermined curvature. As used herein, the term pedicle screw assembly is used to define and/or describe commonly used orthopedic or spinal surgical instrumentation. While many embodiments of a pedicle screw exist commercially, the typical pedicle screw assembly consists generally of thepedicle screw 22 containing a threadedportion 24 which is inserted into a bone or spinal vertebrae. Connected to the screw is ahousing unit 26 having upwardly shapedarms spinal rod 10. The longitudinal or spinal rod is set to the housing through use of a set screw (not illustrated) which can be designed to screw into a threaded portion of the housing to lock the rod into place. This general construction scheme allows the surgeon to connect and secure adjacent bones together through use of the pedicle screw assembly, thereby providing stability temporarily until the bones heal or, if needed, permanently. Themain body 16 may contain a longitudinal marking 33. The marking 33 may be sized to extend the entire length from the first end 12 tosecond end 14, or any length in between. - Positioned at the first end 12 of the
spinal rod 10 is afirst flange 34. Positioned at thesecond end 14 of thespinal rod 10 is asecond flange 36. In use, themain body 16 can be used to connect and lock the bone screw anchors, such aspedicle screw assemblies flange FIGS. 5A and 5B , the spinal rodmain body 16 is shown secured to thepedicle screw assembly 18. Preferably, the dimension of the flange, such as thediameter length 38 is larger than theslot dimension 40 of aset screw head 42. The use of thespinal rod 10 withflanges flanges ach flange spinal rod 10 from passing out of the receiving component, it is still possible to compress the components (i.e., screw heads) together prior to locking the components. - Referring to
FIGS. 6-9 , an alternative embodiment of the bone fixation device, illustrated herein as a spinal rod 100, is illustrated. The spinal rod 100 comprises afirst end 112, a second opposing end 114, and amain body 116 there between. Themain body 116 is preferably elongated having a generally cylindrical shape constructed and arranged to secure to a plurality of bone screw anchors, such as thepedicle screw assemblies main body 16 may be linear. Alternatively, themain body 116 may have a predetermined curvature. - Positioned at one end, i.e., the
first end 112 of the spinal rod 100 is aflange 118. Theflange 118 is constructed and arranged in the same manner asflanges flange flange 118 prohibits the spinal rod 100 from passing out of a receiving component, it is still possible to compress the components (i.e. screw heads) together prior to locking the components. The opposing end, i.e. the second end 114 is constructed without a corresponding flange. Instead, the opposing end 114 is constructed to contain a taperedportion 120. The taperedportion 120 may end with a pointed tip 122 which aids the surgeon by providing a mechanism for pushing tissue to the side as the bone fixation device is maneuvered to its final resting position within a pedicle screw. The taperedportion 120 may contain anaperture 126. Theaperture 126 is preferably located perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spinal rod and is intended to provide visual indicator under fluoroscopy to assess and ensure proper rod length. - The
end 112 with theflange 118 may also contain has an attachment feature designed to communicate with a tool for passing the rod percutaneously, illustrated herein as an insertiontool attachment portion 128. The insertiontool attachment portion 128 may contain anopening 130 sized and shaped to receive at least a portion of an insertion tool.FIGS. 10 and 11 depict an illustrative example of an insertion tool device 132. The insertion tool device has at least oneend 134 that is configured to engage with the insertiontool attachment portion 128 of the spinal rod 100. For example, a portion of the insertion tool device 132 may be engageable with theopening 130 of the insertiontool attachment portion 128. - Detailed embodiments of the instant invention are disclosed herein, however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific functional and structural details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representation basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
- All patents and publications mentioned in this specification are indicative of the levels of those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. All patents and publications are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
- It is to be understood that while a certain form of the invention is illustrated, it is not to be limited to the specific form or arrangement herein described and shown. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made without departing from the scope of the invention and the invention is not to be considered limited to what is shown and described in the specification and any drawings/figures included herein.
