Definitions
- spinal fixation devices are used in orthopedic surgery to align and/or fix a desired relationship between adjacent vertebral bodies.
- Such devices typically include a spinal fixation element, such as a relatively rigid fixation rod or plate, that is coupled to adjacent vertebrae by attaching the element to various anchoring devices, such as hooks, bolts, wires, or screws.
- the fixation elements can have a predetermined contour that has been designed according to the properties of the target implantation site, and once installed, the fixation element holds the vertebrae in a desired spatial relationship, either until desired healing or spinal fusion has taken place, or for some longer period of time.
- Spinal fixation elements can be anchored to specific portions of the vertebrae. Since each vertebra varies in shape and size, a variety of anchoring devices have been developed to facilitate engagement of a particular portion of the bone.
- Pedicle screw assemblies for example, have a shape and size that is configured to engage pedicle bone. Such screws typically include a threaded shank that is adapted to be threaded into a vertebra, and a head portion having a rod-receiving element, usually in the form of a U-shaped recess formed in the head.
- a set-screw, plug, or similar type of closure mechanism is used to lock the fixation element, e.g., a spinal rod, into the rod-receiving head of the pedicle screw.
- each screw In use, the shank portion of each screw is threaded into a vertebra, and once properly positioned, a rod is seated through the rod-receiving member of each screw and the rod is locked in place by tightening a cap or other closure mechanism to securely interconnect each screw and the fixation rod.

Abstract
A percutaneous access device includes an inner tube and an outer tube disposed about at least a portion of the inner tube. The outer tube may be sized to span from a skin incision in a patient to a site proximate the spine of the patient. The distal end of the outer tube may be adapted to releasably engage a bone anchor. The inner tube may be adjustable relative to the outer tube between a first position and a second position in which the distal end of the inner tube contacts the bone anchor. A bone anchor assembly includes a bone anchor having a distal bone engaging portion and a receiving member having a recess for receiving a spinal fixation element. The proximal end of the receiving member may have an arcuate groove formed on an exterior surface thereof to facilitate connection of an instrument to the receiving member.
Description
- For a number of known reasons, spinal fixation devices are used in orthopedic surgery to align and/or fix a desired relationship between adjacent vertebral bodies. Such devices typically include a spinal fixation element, such as a relatively rigid fixation rod or plate, that is coupled to adjacent vertebrae by attaching the element to various anchoring devices, such as hooks, bolts, wires, or screws. The fixation elements can have a predetermined contour that has been designed according to the properties of the target implantation site, and once installed, the fixation element holds the vertebrae in a desired spatial relationship, either until desired healing or spinal fusion has taken place, or for some longer period of time.
- Spinal fixation elements can be anchored to specific portions of the vertebrae. Since each vertebra varies in shape and size, a variety of anchoring devices have been developed to facilitate engagement of a particular portion of the bone. Pedicle screw assemblies, for example, have a shape and size that is configured to engage pedicle bone. Such screws typically include a threaded shank that is adapted to be threaded into a vertebra, and a head portion having a rod-receiving element, usually in the form of a U-shaped recess formed in the head. A set-screw, plug, or similar type of closure mechanism is used to lock the fixation element, e.g., a spinal rod, into the rod-receiving head of the pedicle screw. In use, the shank portion of each screw is threaded into a vertebra, and once properly positioned, a rod is seated through the rod-receiving member of each screw and the rod is locked in place by tightening a cap or other closure mechanism to securely interconnect each screw and the fixation rod.
- Recently, the trend in spinal surgery has been moving toward providing minimally invasive devices and methods for implanting bone anchors and spinal fixation devices.
- Disclosed herein are percutaneous access devices that facilitate the delivery and implanting of bone anchors into bone, in particular, one or more vertebral bodies of the spine. In particular, the disclosed percutaneous access devices permit the delivery and implanting of one or more bone anchors in a minimally invasive manner thereby limiting trauma to surrounding tissue. Moreover, the percutaneous access devices disclosed herein can provide a percutaneous pathway between a skin incision and the bone anchor that may be used to deliver components of the bone anchor, such as the fastening mechanism, the fixation element, and/or instruments to the bone anchor.

Thepercutaneous access device 10 is preferably adapted to be introduced through a minimally invasive percutaneous incision, which is a relatively small incision that typically has a length less than the diameter or width of the device being inserted therethrough. Although the exemplarypercutaneous access device 10 described below is designed primarily for use in spinal applications, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the exemplarypercutaneous access device 10, as well as the other exemplary embodiments described below, may be used to facilitate the implantation of any type of bone anchor to any type of bone. - The exemplary
percutaneous access device 10 includes aninner tube 12 and anouter tube 14 disposed about at least a portion of theinner tube 12. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, theouter tube 14 is coaxially disposed about theinner tube 12 such that theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 share a commonlongitudinal axis 16. One skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that theouter tube 14 andinner tube 12 need not be coaxially aligned. Theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14, in the exemplary embodiment, are generally cylindrical in shape, having an approximately circular cross-section One skilled in the art will appreciate, however, theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 may have other cross-sectional shapes, including, for example, elliptical or rectilinear. In the exemplary embodiment, theinner tube 12 andouter tube 14 have analogous cross-sections, however, one skilled in the art will appreciate theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 can have different cross-sectional shapes. The axial length of theinner tube 12 andouter tube 12 may vary depending on, for example, the patient anatomy, the procedures employed, and/or, that area of the spine in which thedevice 10 is employed. Theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 may be linear, as in the exemplary embodiment, or may curved or angled along one or more sections or the entire length thereof. Theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 may be constructed from any suitable biocompatible material, including, for example, a metal, such as stainless steel, or a polymer, from any conventional method of manufacturing medical devices. - Although the illustrated exemplary embodiment includes an inner tube and an outer tube, one skilled in the art will appreciate that any number of tubes, e.g., one or more tubes, may be employed depending on, for example, the type of bone anchor employed and the manner by which the device is releasably engaged to the bone anchor. For example, exemplary embodiments of a percutaneous access device having a single outer tube are described below.
- Continuing to refer to
FIGS. 1-5 , the inner tube orsleeve 12 includes aproximal end 20, adistal end 22, and alumen 24 extending between theproximal end 20 and thedistal end 22. Thelumen 24 extends the length of theinner tube 12 and defines alongitudinal axis 26 of theinner tube 12. The outer tube orsleeve 14 includes aproximal end 30, adistal end 32, and alumen 34 extending between theproximal end 30 and thedistal end 32.

Thethreads cap 41 to be longitudinal adjusted relative to theouter tube 14. In the exemplary embodiment, theinner tube 12 is connected to thecap 41 and, thus, can move withcap 41 as thecap 41 is advanced or withdrawn relative to theouter tube 14. For example, theproximal end 30 of theinner tube 12 of the exemplary embodiment may include one or moreresilient tabs 46, one or more of which may have aprojection 48 that seats within an annular grove provided on the interior surface of thecap 41 to thereby connect theproximal end 30 of theinner tube 12 to thecap 41. In the illustrated embodiment, tworesilient tabs 46 are provided on opposite sides of theouter tube 14. Theprojection 48, in the exemplary embodiment, is sized to rotate with in the groove provided in thecap 41, thus allowing thecap 41 to rotate relative to theinner tube 12. Theresilient tabs 46 are radially flexible to facilitate connection to and removal from thecap 41. One skilled in the art will appreciate that other configurations for connecting theinner tube 12 to thecap 41 are possible and are within the scope of the present disclosure. - The
inner tube 12 may be inhibited from rotating with respect to theouter tube 14, limiting the relative motion of theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 to along thelongitudinal axis 16 of the percutaneous access device. For example, one or moreresilient tabs 56 may be provided on theinner tube 12 approximately midway between theproximal end 20 and thedistal end 22 of theinner tube 12, although other positions are possible. In the illustrated embodiment, tworesilient tabs 56 are provided on opposite sides of theouter tube 14. One or more of theresilient tabs 56 may include aprojection 58 that is sized and shaped to seat within alongitudinal slot 54 provided in theouter sleeve 14. Theresilient tab 56 can be radially flexible to facilitate insertion into and removal from theslot 54. Theprojection 58 can slide within theslot 54 and, thereby can limit the relative motion between theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14 to along thelongitudinal axis 16 of thepercutaneous access device 10. One skilled in the art will appreciate that other configurations for connecting theinner tube 12 to theouter tube 14 are possible and are within the scope of the present disclosure. - The
inner tube 12 may have one or more sidewall openings orslots 60 formed therein. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, theinner tube 12 includes twoopposed slots 60 that extend longitudinally from thedistal end 22 of theinner tube 12. Like theinner tube 12, theouter tube 14 may have one or more sidewall openings orslots 62 formed therein. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, theouter tube 14 includes twoopposed slots 62 that extend longitudinally from thedistal end 32 of theinner tube 12. Theslots slots 60 and theslots 62 are preferably aligned with one another along at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of thepercutaneous access device 10. The width and length of theslot 60 andslot 62 may be varied depending on the particular methods, instruments, and fixation elements being employed. In one exemplary embodiment, for example, the length of theslots inner tube 12 and theouter tube 14, respectively. In such embodiments, theslots slots inner tube 12 and theouter tube 14, respectively, to a point distal to the skin incision. In such embodiments, theslots - In embodiments in which multiple slots are employed, the
slots more slots 60 may be sized differently than the one ormore slots 62, the one or more of theslots 60 on the inner tube may be sized differently thanother slots 60, and/or one or more of theslots 62 on the outer tube may be sized differently thanother slots 62. Although the exemplary embodiment includes two opposing slots on theinner tube 12 and theouter tube 14, respectively, one skilled in the art will appreciate that any number of slots may be provided, e.g., no slots, one, two, three, etc. slots, may be provided depending on the method, instruments, and/or fixation element employed. - One skilled in the art will appreciate that the
slots - Referring to
FIGS. 1-5 and 7 , thepercutaneous access device 10 is preferably releasably engageable to a bone anchor. In the exemplary embodiment, theouter tube 14 may be releasably engaged to a bone anchor, such asbone anchor assembly 100. For example, theouter tube 14 may be engaged to a bone anchor in a manner that allows thepercutaneous access device 10 to be connected to thebone anchor 100 during use, e.g., during implantation and/or delivery and/or fastening of a spinal fixation element to the bone anchor, and allows the percutaneous access device to be disconnected from thebone anchor 100 at the conclusion of the procedure. Preferably, thepercutaneous access device 10 can be disconnected remotely. For example, the exemplary embodiment, thepercutaneous access device 10 can be disconnected from the bone anchor by manipulation of the proximal end of thepercutaneous access device 10, as discussed in more detail below. - The
distal end 32 of theouter tube 14 includes a pair of opposed longitudinally extendingtabs tabs outer tube 14 and are separated by slots 62A and 62B. In certain exemplary embodiments, thetabs tabs tabs tabs percutaneous access device 10, thetabs - In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, each
tab projection element receiving member 108 of the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100 described below. In particular, theprojection 72A has adistal surface 74, aproximal surface 76, and a generally radially facing connectingsurface 78 that spans between thedistal surface 74 and theproximal surface 76, as shown inFIG. 8 . In the illustrated embodiment, thedistal surface 74 is generally oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of theouter tube 14 and the connectingsurface 78 is generally oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of theouter tube 14 and perpendicular to thedistal surface 74. One or both of theproximal surface 76 and thedistal surface 74 may be oriented at an angle other than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of theouter tube 14. For example, theproximal surface 76 may be oriented at an angle A to anorthogonal line 80, which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of theouter tube 14. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle A may be approximately 5° to approximately 30° and is preferably approximately 20°. Thedistal surface 74 and theproximal surface 76 may be oriented at the same angle or, as in the exemplary embodiment, may be oriented at different angles. - Referring to
FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 and 10 , thedistal end 22 of theinner tube 12 may include acontact surface 81 that contacts at least a portion of a bone anchor when theinner tube 12 is in the second position. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, for example, thedistal end 22 of theinner tube 12 may have two opposing generally arcuate contact surfaces 81. The contact surfaces 81, in the exemplary embodiment, are oriented approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of theinner tube 12. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the contact surfaces 81 are configured to contact a generally arcuate contact surface provided on the proximal end of the receiving member of the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100. Preferably, thecontact surface 81 is complementary in size, shape, and orientation to the contact surface on the bone anchor. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the configuration of thecontact surface 81, e.g., number, size, shape, and orientation of thecontact surface 81, may be varied to, for example, suit the bone anchor being employed. - The
distal end 22 of theinner tube 12 and/or thedistal end 32 of theouter tube 14 may be configured to inhibit rotation of the bone anchor assembly relative to thepercutaneous access device 10. For example, thedistal end 22 of the inner tube may include one or more finger-like extensions 82 that extend approximately axially from thedistal end 22 of theinner tuber 12 and engage a bone anchor to inhibit rotation of the bone relative to the percutaneous access device. For example, one or more of theextensions 82 may seat within a groove, recess, slot, or similar structure provided in the bone anchor. Alternatively, one of more of theextensions 82 may include acontact surface 84 for contacting an axially extending surface of the bone anchor, as in the case of the exemplary embodiment and as discussed in detail below. -
FIGS. 5-6 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of abone anchor assembly 100 that is particularly suited for use with the exemplarypercutaneous access device 10 described. One skilled in the art will appreciate, however, that the percutaneous access devices disclosed herein are not limited to use with the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100 but instead may be configured for use with any type of bone anchor, e.g., bone screw or hook; mono-axial or polyaxial. Exemplarybone anchor assembly 100 includes abone screw 102, such as a pedicle screw, having aproximal head 104 and a distalbone engaging portion 106, which in the illustrated exemplary embodiment is an externally threaded screw shank. The exemplarybone screw assembly 100 also includes a receivingmember 108 that is configured to receive and couple a spinal fixation element, such as a spinal rod or spinal plate, to thebone anchor assembly 100. - The receiving
member 108 may be coupled to thebone anchor 102 in any well-known conventional manner. For example, the bone anchor assembly may be poly-axial, as in the present exemplary embodiment in which thebone anchor 102 may be adjustable to multiple angles relative to the receivingmember 108, or the bone anchor assembly may be mono-axial, e.g., thebone anchor 102 is fixed relative to the receivingmember 108. An exemplary poly-axial bone screw is described U.S. Pat. No. 5,672,176, incorporated herein by reference. In mono-axial embodiments, thebone anchor 102 and the receiving member may be coaxial or may be oriented at angle with respect to one another. In poly-axial embodiments, the bone anchor may biased to a particular angle or range of angles to provide a favored angle the bone anchor. Exemplary favored-angle bone screws are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0055426 and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0058942, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. - The receiving
member 108 of the illustrated exemplary embodiment includes aproximal end 110, adistal end 112, and a recess or slot 114 for receiving a spinal fixation element such as a spinal rod. Theproximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108 has afirst bore 116 defining afirst bore axis 118. Therecess 114 communicates with thefirst bore 116 such that a spinal fixation element may be positioned through thefirst bore 116 into therecess 114. Thedistal end 112 has asecond bore 120 opposite thesecond bore 116 and defining asecond bore axis 122. Thesecond bore axis 122 is designed to receive thehead 104 of thebone anchor 102 to couple thebone anchor 102 to the receivingmember 108. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thehead 104 is seated within thesecond bore 116. As the exemplary illustrated embodiment of the bone anchor assembly is poly-axial, thebone anchor 102 is free to rotate relative to the receivingmember 108 such that thelongitudinal axis 124 of thebone anchor 102 is positionable at an angle relative to thesecond bore axis 120. Thesecond bore 116 may be conically shaped to facilitate adjustment of thebone anchor 102 relative to the receivingmember 108. In favored-angled embodiments, thesecond bore axis 122 may be positioned at an angle (other than 0°) to thefirst bore axis 118. In the illustrated embodiment, thefirst bore axis 118 andsecond bore axis 122 are coaxial. In the exemplary embodiment, the receivingmember 108 has a generally U-shaped cross-section defined by twolegs recess 114. Eachleg proximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108. - The receiving
member 108 may be configured to receive a closure mechanism that locks a spinal fixation element within therecess 114. The closure mechanism may be a cap that is advanceable through thefirst bore 116 of the receivingmember 108 and seats against the spinal fixation element. For example, the cap may have external threads that engage internal threads 148 provided in the receivingmember 108, e.g., on thelegs 124A,B, as in the exemplary embodiment. Any type of conventional closure mechanism may be employed, including, for example, non-threaded caps, multi-component closure mechanisms, and/or external caps. - The receiving
member 108 of the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100 is configured to be releasably connected to an instrument such as the exemplarypercutaneous access device 10 described above. For example, the receivingmember 108 may include at least one groove 130 that is configured to receive a portion of an instrument to releasably connect the instrument to the bone anchor assembly. The size, shape, position, and number of grooves can be varied depending on, for example, the instrument employed and the type of connection desired. In certain embodiments, for example, at least one arcuate groove 130 may be provided on an exterior surface of theproximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108. In other exemplary embodiments, at least one arcuate groove may be provided on an interior surface of theproximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, eachleg arcuate groove leg grooves leg groove groove projection tabs outer sleeve 14. In particular, groove 130 may have adistal surface 132, aproximal surface 134 and an interconnectingsurface 136 that spans between thedistal surface 132 and theproximal surface 134, as illustrated inFIG. 8 . Thedistal surface 132 and/or theproximal surface 134 may be oriented to facilitate insertion of a projection into the grove 130 and/or to inhibit undesirable separation of the projection from the groove 130. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, for example, thedistal surface 132 may be generally oriented at an angle B to anorthogonal line 140, which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receivingmember 108, to facilitate insertion of the projection into the groove. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle B may be approximately 0° to approximately 45° and preferably approximately 30° to 40°. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, theproximal surface 134 may be oriented at an angle other than perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the receivingmember 108 to inhibit separation of the projection from the groove 130, particularly in radial direction. For example, theproximal surface 134 may be oriented at an angle C to anorthogonal line 142, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the receivingmember 108. In the exemplary embodiment, the angle C may be approximately 5° to approximately 30° and is preferably approximately 20°. Thedistal surface 132 and theproximal surface 76 may be oriented at the same angle or, as in the exemplary embodiment, may be oriented at different angles. Thegrooves - Referring to
FIGS. 7 and 8 , theproximal surface 76 of each projection 72 may be oriented at an angle A that is approximately equal to the angle C of theproximal surface 134 of the corresponding groove. In one preferred embodiment, for example, angle A and angle C are each approximately 20°. One skilled in the art will appreciate that angle A and angle C need not be approximately equal but instead, may be separate, distinct angles. - The
proximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108 may include one or more contact surfaces that may be contacted by an instrument such as thepercutaneous access device 10. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, for example, the proximal end of eachleg - The outer diameter of the percutaneous access device may be selected to be approximately equal to the outer diameter of the bone anchor to facilitate insertion of the bone anchor into the body through a percutaneous pathway of minimal size. For example, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the outer diameter of the
outer tube 14, indicated by line D1 inFIG. 7 , at at least thedistal end 32 of theouter tube 14, is approximately equal to, or less than, the outer diameter of the receivingmember 108, indicated by line d1 inFIGS. 6 and 7 . For example, the diameter of theouter tube 14 may taper from a proximal diameter D2 to a distal diameter D1 at thedistal end 32 of theouter tube 14. Alternatively, the outer diameter of theouter tube 14 may be approximately equal to, or less than, the outer diameter of the receivingmember 108 along the entire length of theouter tube 14. To accommodate theouter tube 14, theproximal end 110 of the receivingmember 108 may have a diameter d2 that is less than the diameter d1 of a distal section of the receivingmember 108, as illustrated inFIG. 6 . For example, the diameter d2 proximal to thegrooves 130A,B may be less than the diameter d1 of the receivingmember 108 to provide a reduced diameter portion 150 at he proximal end 130 of the receiving member. The distance between the exterior surface of reduced diameter portion 150 and the exterior surface of the receivingmember 108, indicated by line E inFIGS. 6 and 8 , is preferably greater than or approximately equal to the radial thickness of atab FIG. 8 . - To facilitate delivery of devices to the bone anchor assembly through the
percutaneous access device 10, the inner diameter of thelumen 24 of theinner tube 12, indicated by line F inFIG. 7 , at at least the distal end of theinner tube 12, may be greater than or approximately equal to the inner diameter of at least a portion of the receiving member, indicated by line f inFIG. 7 . - Exemplary operation of the
percutaneous access device 10 with the exemplary bone anchor assembly will be described with reference toFIGS. 11A-11D . To releasably connect thepercutaneous access device 10, thedistal end 32 of theouter tube 14 is oriented such thattabs recess 114, as illustrated inFIG. 11A . Thepercutaneous access device 10 is advanced distally until eachtab legs FIG. 11B . Thepercutaneous access device 10 may be rotated about itslongitudinal axis 16 to rotateprojections grooves 103B, 130A, respectively, as illustrated inFIG. 11C . Theinner tube 12 may be advanced distally along thelongitudinal axis 16 of thepercutaneous access device 10 from the first, proximal position, illustrated inFIGS. 11A-C , to the second, distal position, illustrated inFIG. 11D , in which the contact surfaces 81 of theinner tube 12 contact the contact surfaces 145A, 145B provided on the proximal end of the receiving member of the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100, to thereby releasably connect thepercutaneous access device 10 to thebone anchor assembly 100. Thecontact surface 84 of one or more of theextensions 82 may engage the axial extending contact surfaces 152 (FIGS. 5 and 6 ) to inhibit rotation between the percutaneous access device and the bone anchor assembly. - The
percutaneous access device 10 may be connected to the exemplarybone anchor assembly 100, or another bone anchor assembly, before implantation of the bone anchor assembly or after the bone anchor assembly is implanted into the patient's body. - Once the
percutaneous access device 10 is releasably connected to thebone anchor assembly 100 as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 11D , thepercutaneous access device 10 may provide a percutaneous pathway between the skin incision and thebone anchor 100 that facilitates delivery of instruments, spinal fixation elements, and/or components of the bone anchor assembly, such as the closure mechanism, to thebone anchor assembly 100.
