Definitions
- This invention relates to hip distraction.
- Hip distractors are known that attach to a standard operating table, and that are dedicated to use with the patient in either a supine position or a lateral position.
- Two methods for hip distraction are Distraction Mode, in which the lower extremity is put in tension via traction between the foot and pelvis, and Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI) Mode, in which there is no traction on the lower extremity and there is a larger range of motion than the distraction mode.
- FAI Femoral Acetabular Impingement
- the hip is flexed up between 30 to 90 degrees and the knee is flexed approximately 45 degrees.
- the scrub nurse holds the knee from falling laterally.
- Both methods can be performed using a fracture table with the patient in the supine position. To move a patient between the two modes, and to move the hip joint through its range of motion to check for impingement between the femoral neck and the acetabular rim, the circulator nurse reaches under the draped foot area to unlock the table.
- an apparatus includes a distractor assembly adapted to couple to a leg and capable of providing a distraction load on the leg in both supine and lateral positions of the leg.
- the distractor assembly includes a joint, for example, a ball joint or universal joint, configured to couple the distractor assembly to a surgical table.
- the joint is lockable and the mechanism for locking the joint is located remote from the joint.
- the apparatus is configured such that with a patient positioned on the surgical table and coupled to the distractor, the joint is offset from the patient's hip joint.
- the apparatus is entirely supported by a surgical table.
- the distractor assembly includes a distractor member and a leg mount, for example, a foot mount, coupled to the distractor member for movement relative to the distractor member by both sliding and threaded engagement.
- the leg mount is coupled to the distractor member by a ball joint.
- the apparatus includes a foot holder mountable to the distractor assembly and including a support bar that supports the lower leg in the lateral and supine positions.

- FIG. 17 illustrates a forked post for use with the system of FIG. 16 .
- Hip distraction is performed in either the Distraction Mode ( FIGS. 1 and 2 ) or Femoral Acetabular Impingement (FAI) Mode ( FIGS. 3 and 4 ) using a system 10 that can be attached to a standard operating table 12 , such as found in hospitals and surgery centers, and that can accommodate both supine ( FIGS. 1 and 3 ) and lateral ( FIGS. 2 and 4 ) positioning of the patient.
- the system 10 permits operating room personnel to reposition the patient between Distraction Mode and FAI Mode without needing to access the draped pelvis/thigh region.
- a distractor assembly 100 includes a distraction member, for example, a longitudinal spar 102 having a D-shaped cross-section, a lockable ball joint 104 (available from Allen Medical of Acton, Mass. and as seen in Allen Medical's Ultrafin stirrup products) attached to the proximal (pelvis) end 106 of the spar, a coupler 108 attached to the ball joint 104 for coupling the distractor assembly 100 to an operating room table, a slider 110 slidably mounted on the spar 102 , and a leg mount, for example, foot mount 112 , attached to slider 110 via a lockable ball joint 114 and a rigid, stationary arm 116 .
- a distraction member for example, a longitudinal spar 102 having a D-shaped cross-section
- a lockable ball joint 104 available from Allen Medical of Acton, Mass. and as seen in Allen Medical's Ultrafin stirrup products
- a coupler 108 attached to the ball joint 104 for coupling the distractor assembly 100 to an operating room table
- the ball joint 104 can be locked and unlocked by actuating a knob 118 located at the distal (foot) end 120 of the spar 102 , thus allowing for the assembly to be unlocked and repositioned without need to access the draped pelvis/thigh region.
- the ball joint 104 and the coupler 108 allows for a large range of hip motion, providing a full range of motion about the horizontal axis, and about 80 degrees of motion in the horizontal plane.
- the coupler 108 includes a yoke 130 that receives horizontally extending side arms 132 of the ball joint 104 .
- the slider 110 defines a D-shaped longitudinal through bore 150 that slidably and non-rotationally receives the spar 102 , and a threaded, lateral through bore 152 that receives a locking bolt (not shown), that is tightened to lock the slider 110 to the spar 102 .
- the slider 110 includes handles 154 a, 154 b that are used by the operating room personnel to slide the slider relative to the spar to provide gross distraction of the leg.
- the slider 110 includes abase 156 supporting a threaded rod 158 attached to a turn handle 160 .
- the base 156 also slidably supports a yoke 162 defining a threaded bore 164 through which the threaded rod 158 is received.
- the handle 160 By turning the handle 160 , the yoke 162 , and therefore the foot mount 112 attached to the yoke by the ball joint 114 and arm 116 , can be moved back and forth relative to the base 156 to apply a desired amount of traction, for example, 25-150 pounds of force, to the leg.
- a desired amount of traction for example, 25-150 pounds of force
- the foot holder 122 includes a boot 180 , a shin support 182 , and a support bar 184 that holds the upper tibia aligned with the foot.
- the support bar is particularly advantageous during FAI to stabilize the knee from falling laterally thus freeing the scrub nurse from having to hold the patient's leg in position.
- boot 180 includes a foot housing 186 with a tightening clasp 188 , a sole 190 , a U-coupling 192 that receives the foot mount 112 , and straps 194 for securing the boot to the foot mount.
- the foot housing 186 has three straps, not shown, that go over the patient's forefoot and close the foot housing onto the foot.
- the support bar 184 has two legs 202 a, 202 b, the ends of which are respectively received within openings 204 a, 204 b of foot mount couplers 206 a, 206 b ( FIG. 7 ).
- the shin support 182 is attached to support bar 184 via shin mounts 208 .
- the ball joint 114 and arm 116 permit the patient's leg to be finely positioned.
- a table extension 220 ( FIGS. 1 and 10A ) is employed.
- the table extension 220 includes a frame 222 with a cross bar 224 , an angled strut 226 , a Y-yoke 228 , a vertical strut 230 , and a platform 232 . Extending from the cross bar 224 are two arms 234 a, 234 b that are used to attach the table extension to the operating room table 12 using rail clamps 14 .
- the coupler 108 of the distractor assembly 100 plugs into one of a pair of female sockets 236 a, 236 b defined in Y-yoke 228 and is secured in place by a threaded locking knob (not shown). Since the ball joint 104 does not provide a large enough range of motion in the horizontal plane to accommodate surgery on both the right and left hips, socket 236 a is used for surgery on the right hip, and socket 236 b is used for surgery on the left hip, with the ball joint 104 providing the additional range of motion in the horizontal plane required for fine position of the leg.
- the platform 232 is x-ray translucent and defines through holes 240 a, 240 b for receiving a post 242 ( FIG. 1 ).
- the post 242 is received over a respective plug 244 a, 244 b of Y-yoke 228 , and a perineal pad 244 ( FIG. 1 ) slips over the post 242 .
- the post and pad provide the restraining force against the pelvis when the distraction force is applied to the leg.
- Through hole 240 a is used for surgery on the right hip
- through hole 240 b is used for surgery on the left hip.
- a pad 246 is attached to the platform 232 .
- the pad defines a cut-out 248 permitting access to holes 240 a, 240 b.
- a non-operative leg holder assembly 260 is secured within the respective opposite socket 236 a, 236 b from that in which distractor assembly 100 is secured.
- Assembly 260 includes a spar 262 to which a foot mount 264 is slidably attached viva lockable slider 266 ( FIG. 1 ). Attached to foot mount 264 is a boot 268 through which mild traction, for example, about 20 pounds can be applied to the non-operative leg.
- FIG. 1 To position the patient in the supine position for the Distraction Mode ( FIG. 1 ), operating room personnel lower the operating room table's foot section 16 to the vertical position, clamp the table extension 220 to the side rails 18 of the table, and connect the distractor assembly 100 and leg holder 260 to the table extension.
- a patient transfer board (not shown) can be attached to the table extension to provide interim support to the legs while the feet are strapped into the boots 180 , 268 .
- the operating room personnel then place the patient on the table, anaesthetize the patient, and attach the perineal post and pad to the table extension.
- the patient is then brought down the table firmly against the perineal pad, and the feet are wrapped in disposable foam booties (not shown) and strapped into the boots.
- the well leg is put under mild traction and the foot allowed to pivot into it's neutral position.
- the operating room personnel remove the patient transfer board and put the operative leg under initial traction by sliding the slider 110 along the spar 102 until mild traction, for example, about 20 to 50 pounds, is achieved.
- the slider 110 is then clamped to the spar. Further traction is achieved via the mechanical advantage of the threaded screw 158 between the slider 110 and boot 180 . This distracts the hip via traction through the ankle and knee joints.
- the foot can be locked in any orientation (flexion or rotation) via the ball joint 114 between the boot and the threaded screw.
- the surgeon checks the distraction with fluoroscopy, places a drape over the patient, including covering the pelvis/thigh region of the patient, and places portals through the patient's skin leading to the hip joint under fluoroscopy control. As soon as the first portal is created the vacuum seal between the femoral head and acetabulum is broken and the joint distracts further. This can be aided by injecting fluid into the joint.
- the operating room personnel reduce the traction force by turning the threaded screw 158 until no force is on the joint, unlock the ball joint 104 , and lift the femur into flexion by raising the spar 102 . Since the center of rotation of the spar, i.e., the ball joint 104 , is located below the hip joint of the patient, the knee flexes as the spar is raised. The natural tendency of the knee to fall laterally is limited by the boot's lateral support bar 202 a, 202 b thus freeing the scrub nurse to help the surgeon.
- the system 10 includes a “U” shaped perineal bar 280 supporting a pad 282 .
- the bar 280 has a socket 284 for receiving the coupler 108 ( FIG. 5 ) of the distractor assembly 100 , and the pad 282 defines a cut-out 286 for accessing socket 284 .
- Bar 280 is attached to the side rails 18 of the operating room table 12 using clamps 14 .
- the anaesthetized patient is rolled onto their side, the operating room personnel clamp the bar 280 to the side rails 18 with the pad 282 positioned between the patient's legs.
- the operating room personnel raise the bar 280 by rotating the bar within the clamps 14 and lock the clamps.
- the distractor assembly 100 is then attached to the bar 280 and the operative leg wrapped in a disposable foam bootie (not shown) and strapped into the boot.
- gross distraction is achieved by moving the slider 110 followed by fine distraction using the threaded screw 158 .
- the boot can be positioned in any combination of flexion or rotation. There is no need for a non-operative leg holder as the non-operative leg is supported by the table's foot section 16 .
- the spar 102 is pivoted laterally about the ball joint 104 . Since the center of rotation of the spar 102 , i.e., the ball joint 104 , is located distal to the hip joint of the patient, the knee flexes as the spar is moved laterally. The natural tendency of the knee to fall towards the floor is limited by the boot's lateral support bar 202 a, 202 b, thus freeing the scrub nurse to help the surgeon.
- the distractor assembly can include a tensiometer to provide the surgeon with the distraction force.
- the slide and spar can be other than D-shaped, though preferably the slide and spar are configured such that the slide can slide along the spar without rotating.
- the ball joint 104 can be replaced with a two axis universal joint 104 a ( FIG. 13 ). Rather than locating screw thread 158 at slider 110 , fine adjustment can be provided by a screw thread located, for example, between the ball 104 and the spar 102 .
- hip distraction is achieved via a pivoting action.
- a lever that pivots along the thigh translate a small foot adduction (movement towards the body centerline) into a large lateral hip distraction force.
- a simple lever is created.
- the operative foot is held to the spar 310 by a boot assembly 320 .
- a perineal pad 344 pushes laterally against the upper femur moving the femoral head of the hip joint.
- an axial force F 2 is imparted on the hip joint via traction through the boot assembly 320 .
- This force can be achieved though turning of a crank 360 which is rotationally connected to a threaded rod 380 .
- the boot assembly 320 is threaded to rod 380 but is limited from rotating by spar 310 , thus boot assembly 320 moves axially when the crank 360 is turned.
- the perineal pad 344 also provides a reaction force against the pelvis.
- a telescoping spar assembly 400 includes a bar 420 , which is connected to a tube 410 by a slidable, lockable mechanism, such as a one-way ratcheting pawl.
- a bent knee counter traction force is imparted upon the non-operative leg by a support 440 .
- This force can be transmitted to the upper tibia via surface 450 which is then transmitted through the knee to the femoral head and pelvis.
- the support 440 can be fixed to the surgical table or it can telescope like spar assembly 400 . If support 440 is fixed then the patient is moved proximally to create the counter traction force.
- a system 500 that permits operating room personnel to independently move a patient's legs before and during a procedure, e.g., hip arthroscopy or non-arthroscopic procedures such as orthopedic hip pinning and minimally-invasive hip joint replacement, includes two distractor assemblies 100 a, 100 b, with one replacing leg holder assembly 260 (see FIG. 1 ).
- Each distractor assembly 100 a, 100 b is as discussed above with respect to distractor assembly 100 , and is attached to the Y-yoke 228 at a respective socket 236 a, 236 b.
- foot holders 122 a, 122 b of the distractor assemblies 100 a, 100 b are not shown with shin supports 182 , support bars 184 , shin mounts 208 and legs 202 a, 202 b (refer to FIG. 8 ), it is to be understood that these can be attached to each distractor assembly 100 a, 100 b by way of the foot mount couplers 206 a, 206 b.
- the system 500 includes a forked post 538 that supports the perineal pad 244 approximately aligned with the transverse center of the operating table 12 .
- the forked post 538 includes two support posts 540 a, 540 b that are fixedly attached to a center post 542 by way of a connector plate 544 .
- the center post 542 is located equidistant from each of the support posts 540 a, 540 b.
- Each of the support posts 540 a, 540 b is received in one of the through holes 240 a, 240 b (see FIG. 10A ) and over one of the respective plugs 244 a, 244 b of the Y-yoke 228 .
- the connector plate 544 rests on the platform 232 of the table extension 220 .
- a modified pad 546 defines a cut-out 548 that permits access to both holes 240 a, 240 b at the same time.
- the perineal pad 244 slips over the center post 542 to provide the restraining force against the patient's pelvis when the distraction force is applied to the leg.
