Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for treating a spine having an abnormal deviation, of degenerative or traumatic origin.
- Numerous devices are already known for treating osteoarthritis or vertebral fractures or for correcting spinal deviations, such as scoliosis, lordosis and kyphosis.
- document US-A-4 648 388 describes an apparatus for treating the spine comprising anchoring elements in the vertebrae, a connecting rod of circular section and with a smooth outer surface, and connecting slides for connecting anchoring elements to the connecting rod.
- the anchoring elements are screws having three main parts, a first 'end portion helical thread adapted for penetration and held in the bone, a smooth cylindrical intermediate portion of reduced diameter and a second portion of helical thread end suitable for screwing a tightening nut.
- the connecting slides have a tightening part shaped to surround a section of the connecting rod, and a connecting part projecting laterally and pierced with two corresponding holes intended to be crossed by the anchoring screw.
- Such an apparatus is intended to maintain the spine at an appropriate curvature.
- the mechanical support provided by this device is not sufficient.
- the support of the slide directly on a vertebra excludes any possibility of effective tightening, owing to the low mechanical resistance to compression of the vertebra.
- the installation of the device on a spine sometimes requires the simultaneous use of two tools, in particular to prevent rotation of the screw when screwing or unscrewing the nut. Notches made along the securing rod reduce its mechanical resistance, and increase its flexibility.
- this device is not suitable for three-dimensional reduction of the upper part of the spine, part in which the implantation of screws is excluded.
- the tightening force of the nut appreciably increases the tensile stress exerted on the screw, adding to the holding forces of the securing rod, which correspondingly reduces the mechanical resistance of the anchoring and promotes necrosis of the bone around the screw.
- Document EP-A-0 408 489 describes an apparatus making it possible to connect two vertebrae, by means of two pedicle screws with double thread and two slides connected by a threaded rod making it possible to adjust the spacing thereof.
- the screw has spherical bearing surfaces allowing an inclination adjustment relative to the slide, the tightening of a tightening nut on the threaded part of the screw ensuring a rotation lock.
- This device which seems suitable for adjusting the spacing of two successive vertebrae, is totally unsuitable for holding more than two vertebrae, and does not include any teaching relating to the problem of the insufficient mechanical strength of smooth connecting rods.
- the problem proposed by the present invention is to design a new structure of a spine treatment apparatus with a smooth joining rod and connecting slides for anchoring elements, which ensures a much more effective joining of the vertebrae and greater ease of installation and position adjustment of the elements relative to each other in three dimensions.
- the invention results from the observation that defects in the maintenance and positioning of known devices, and simultaneously a relative complexity of installation and adjustment of these devices, are due to pivoting possibilities either between the connecting slides and the connecting rod, either between the connecting slides and the corresponding anchoring element. Indeed, significant rotational torques appear, during the reduction of the deformations of the spine to be treated, and subsequently during the maintenance of the treated spine, and the known structures of the device do not allow these important torques to be held reliably.
- the apparatus of the present invention comprises:
- - anchoring elements in the vertebrae comprising a threaded cylindrical part on which a tightening nut is screwed, - a connecting rod, with circular section and smooth exterior surface,
- the connecting slides comprising a clamping part and a connecting part, the clamping part having internal surfaces shaped to surround a section of the rod secured and being deformable so as to be selectively tightened or loosened on the securing rod, the connecting part comprising first and second branches developing laterally and parallel to each other from two lips of a longitudinal slot the clamping portion, said connecting portion legs having corresponding through holes for receiving a clamping member for clamping the legs together and thereby clamping the clamping portion and for receiving the threaded cylindrical portion an anchor; according to the invention:
- the anchoring elements comprise a stop plate with a support face generally perpendicular to the axis of the threaded cylindrical part and developing from its base, - the support face of the stop plate comprises first anti-slip reliefs,
- the first corresponding contact surface of the first branch of the connecting part intended to come to bear against the bearing face of anchoring elements, comprises first corresponding anti-slip reliefs to oppose any rotation and any lateral displacement of the connecting slide with respect to the anchoring element after tightening the nut against the second opposite contact surface of the second branch of the connecting part.
- the internal surfaces of the clamping part comprise second non-slip reliefs, providing a discontinuous support which opposes the rotation of the connecting slide around the securing rod after tightening of the clamping element.
- the anti-slip reliefs very effectively oppose rotations or slippages which may appear both between the slides and the securing rod, and between the slides and the anchoring elements, from the start of tightening the tightening nuts. Simultaneously, the anti-slip reliefs associated with the stop plate prohibit rotation of the anchor when tightening the nut even when this.
- anchoring element is in the form of a bone screw, so that a single tool is sufficient for tightening.
- the device may include, as an anchoring element, one or more double-threaded bone screws on either side of an intermediate stop plate with anti-slip reliefs, one or more hooks, the rear wall of which serves as a plate 'stop and includes the anti-slip reliefs, and optionally support plates shaped to adapt to the particular morphology of certain areas of the spine and comprising anti-slip reliefs.

- - Figures 22 and 23 illustrate, respectively in side view and in top view, a spacer for connecting two parallel securing rods;
- FIG. 24 shows in perspective a lamar end hook.
- the apparatus shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises anchoring elements such as bone screws 1 or hooks 2, 102, 202, securing rods 3, and connecting slides 4 between each anchoring element and the securing rod 3.
- anchoring elements such as bone screws 1 or hooks 2, 102, 202, securing rods 3, and connecting slides 4 between each anchoring element and the securing rod 3.
- the attachment rods 3 of the apparatus according to the invention are smooth rods, of circular section.
- the material and the section are chosen so as to obtain an optimal elasticity, adapted to the forces to be supported during use, and so that the rod can be curved according to the desired shape for the part of the spine to be treated.
- Each anchoring element, bone screw, hook or support plate is in one piece with a threaded cylindrical part 5 provided with an external thread 6, and comprises a stop plate 7 limiting the tightening of a nut 8 on this external thread 6.
- the anchoring element is a bone screw 1 with double thread, the threaded cylindrical part 5 with external thread 6 constituting the first thread, a second coaxial threaded cylindrical part 9 constituting a second thread suitable for screw into the bone, the stop plate 7 constituting an intermediate part of larger section separating the two threaded parts 5 and 9.
- the stop plate 7 advantageously comprises a peripheral surface 10 with facets in hexagon, a surface abutment 11 connecting to the second threaded cylindrical part 9 and intended to come to bear against the vertebra bone, and a bearing face 12 generally perpendicular to the axis II of the threaded cylindrical part 5 and developing from its base.
- the bearing face 12 of the stop plate 7 includes first anti-slip reliefs.
- these first anti-slip reliefs may be a grainy surface, or, preferably, radial ribs distributed on the bearing face from the base of the threaded cylindrical part 5.
- the threaded cylindrical part 5 comprises at least one groove intermediate annular 13, constituting a breaking point to facilitate the cutting of the excess part 14 after screwing a nut on the threaded cylindrical part 5.
- the groove 13 advantageously has a sawtooth section, the bottom of the groove being adjacent to the remaining part of the threaded cylindrical part 5.
- the anchoring element is a pedicle hook 2, intended to hang the pedicle of a vertebra.
- the hook 2 comprises a hook body 15, curved as shown in the figure, and a rear wall or bearing face 12 on which the threaded cylindrical part 5 is connected.
- the bearing face 12 is generally perpendicular to the axis of the threaded cylindrical part 5, and serves as a stop plate.
- the bearing face 12 includes first anti-slip reliefs such as radial ribs 16.
- FIG. 6 represents an anchoring element constituted by a lamar hook 102, shaped to hang a vertebra blade.
- the hook body 15 is slightly different from that of FIG. 5, the other elements being identical, in particular the bearing face 12 with the radial ribs 16 around the base of the threaded cylindrical part 5.
- the bearing faces 12 of the hook body 15 constitute the stop plate of such an anchoring element, to limit the tightening of a nut on the threaded cylindrical part 5 .
- the connecting slide 4 according to the invention comprises a clamping part 17 and a connecting part 18.
- the connecting part 18 comprises a first branch 19 and a second branch 20, generally flat and separated from each other in the rest state by an interval 21, and developing laterally and parallel 1'une to 1 ' another from two lips of a longitudinal slot 100 of the generally cylindrical clamping part 17 which connects them to each other.
- the clamping part 17 has a generally cylindrical inner surface 22 defining a channel shaped to surround a section of the securing rod 3. The clamping part 17 is deformable so as to be selectively clamped or loosened on the securing rod 3.
- Each of the branches 19 and 20 comprises a passage hole 23 and 124 respectively, coaxial with one another and with a common axis perpendicular to the axis of the internal surface 22 of the clamping part 17.
- the passage holes 23 and 124 are shaped to receive the threaded cylindrical part 5 of an anchoring element. __We will understand that the hole 124 could, in a substantially advantageous manner, be replaced by a slot allowing the relative inclination of the slide during its adaptation to an anchoring element.
- the anchoring element in this embodiment, thus fulfills the simultaneous function of a clamping element.
- the inner surface 22 of the clamping part 17 comprises second non-slip reliefs, opposing the rotation of the connecting slide 4 around the securing rod 3 after tightening of the clamping element.
- the second non-slip reliefs can advantageously be longitudinal ribs 24, preferably of triangular cross section, providing a discontinuous contact surface on the securing rod 3.
- the first contact surface 25 of the first branch 19 of the connecting part 18 is intended to come to bear against the bearing face 12 of an anchoring element.
- This first contact surface 25 also includes first corresponding non-slip reliefs, similar to those provided on the bearing face 12 of the anchoring element, to oppose any rotation and any lateral movement of the connecting slide 4 relative to the anchoring element after tightening the nut 8 against the opposite contact surface 26 of the second branch 20 of the connecting part 18.
- radial ribs 27 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, surrounding the hole 23, which can advantageously have a shape complementary to that of the radial ribs of the anchoring elements.
- the slide can thus be locked in different angular positions on the anchoring element. And this locking prevents the untimely subsequent loosening of the nuts 8.
- the first connecting branch 19, comprising the first contact surface 25, is offset towards the outside with respect to the axis II-II of the clamping part 17, or axis of the inner cylindrical surface 22.
- the securing rod 3 is slightly offset away from the vertebra.
- the connecting slide 105 is of the open type, having a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is split axially by a slot 28 comprising a first part 29 of circular section for the passage of the rod of securing 3, and a second part 30 of reduced section terminated by an enlargement 31.
- the opening 32 of slot allows the lateral insertion of the securing rod 3 when the clamping element is loosened.
- the slide 105 comprises a first passage hole 33 and a second passage hole 34, corresponding to each other and shaped for adaptation to the threaded cylindrical part 5 of a anchor element.
- the first contact surface 25 is provided with first anti-slip reliefs such as radial ribs 27.
- the interior surface 22 of the first slot portion 29 is provided with second reliefs non-slip such as longitudinal ribs 24, which may advantageously have a triangular cross section.
- This open slider in FIG. 10 allows the insertion of the slider on an intermediate part of the securing rod 3, without having to introduce the slider through one of the ends of this rod.
- the slide is similar to that of FIGS. 7 to 9, with a clamping part 17, a connecting part 18, a first branch 19 and a second branch 20 each provided with a respective hole 23 and 124.
- this embodiment differs in that the hole 23 of the first branch 19 is tapped, to receive the threaded rod of a screw whose head comes to bear on the edges of the hole 124 smooth passage and of embedding the second branch 20, the screw ensuring the clamping of the slide and its blocking on the securing rod 3.
- the first branch 19 comprises a lateral extension 34 itself provided with a hole 35 for the passage of an anchor rod.
- the hole 35 may advantageously have a hemispherical upper surface 36 intended to receive the hemispherical head of a conventional bone screw.
- the lower surface of the hole 35 can itself be flared, for example of conical shape turned away from the upper hemispherical surface 36, so as to allow the inclination of the bone screw rod relative to the axis of the hole 35.
- the bone screw can thus take various inclinations, independent of the direction of the axes of the hole 35 and of the cylindrical surface 22.
- the cylindrical surface 22 comprises ribs longitudinal, as in the previous embodiments. It is the same for the first contact surface 25, or lower surface of the lateral extension 34, which has anti-slip reliefs, such as radial ribs. It will be understood that such a slide of Figure 13 can be used in place of the slides of Figures 7 to 12, having the same anti-rotation blocking effects.
- Figure 14 shows a slider according to another embodiment, similar to that of Figure 13, and in which similar elements have been identified by the same reference numerals. The difference is that the extension 37 of the first branch 19 develops longitudinally and not transversely, that is to say in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical surface 22.
- FIG. 15 shows a double connecting slide 104, in which the first branch 19 of the connecting part 18 is in one part, while the second branch 20 of the connecting part 18 is in two parts respectively 120 and 220, separated one from the other by a transverse notch 320 and each provided with passage holes 420 and 520 for the passage of two clamping screws which are screwed into corresponding tapped holes 119 and 219 of the first branch 19.
- the slide 104 of FIG. 15 has a length greater than that of the slide of the previous embodiments, for example a double length.
- Such a variant makes it possible to join two successive securing rods end to end for the treatment of a patient's spine.
- FIG. 16 shows another embodiment of a double slide, which has the advantage of being open, comprising a through slot 38 terminated by two open cylindrical parts 39 and 40 each receiving a securing rod.
- the slide is thus formed of two parts 41 and 42 tightened one against the other by two screws 43 and 44, for tightening on two parallel securing rods.
- the cylindrical surfaces 39 and 40 are provided with longitudinal ribs, as shown in the figure.
- FIG. 17 represents another type of anchoring element according to the invention, namely a sacred support plate 50.
- a sacred support plate 50 can be used to constitute an intermediate support between the vertebrae and a slide according to the embodiments Figures 7 to 12, 13 or 14.
- the sacred support plate 50 is in the form of an elongated plate provided, in its middle part, with a threaded cylindrical part 5 with external thread 6. At one of its ends 45, of reinforced thickness, the sacred support plate comprises a bore 46 shaped to receive a standard bone screw head, intended to be implanted in the pedicle of the SI vertebra. At its other end 47, the sacral support plate comprises two other bores 48 and 49 serving to receive the heads of standard bone screws implanted in the sacrum.
- the upper face of the sacred support plate 50 comprises, around the base of the threaded cylindrical part 5, first anti-slip reliefs such as radial ribs 55, to cooperate with the first corresponding anti-slip reliefs of the slides.
- the axis of the bore 46 is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the lower and upper faces of the sacred support plate 50, and it is substantially parallel to the axis of the threaded cylindrical part 5.
- the respective axes of the bores 48 and 49 are oblique, to orient the bony screws which they contain towards the outside and thus facilitate the fixing of the sacred support plate on the sacrum in the sacral fin.
- the sacred support plate 50 makes it possible to increase the spacing between two successive sliders 51 and 52 on the securing rod 3, the first slider 51 ensuring the securing to a first bone screw 53 implanted in SI via the sacred support plate 50, the second slide 52 ensuring the connection with a second bone screw 54 implanted in L5.
- Figure 18 shows a traditional arrangement in which two bone screws 53 and 54 are connected to each other only by the slides 51 and 52, which are very close to each other on the securing rod 3. The proximity makes it difficult to position the screws and slides.
- Figure 19 we see that the interposition of the sacred support plate 50 between the bone screw 53 and the slide 51 increases the distance between the slides 51 and 52, considerably facilitating the positioning of the elements.
- the dimensions of the sacred support plate 50 are advantageously chosen so that the increase in spacing of the slides 51 and 52 is approximately 15 millimeters.
- FIG. 17A illustrates an illiosacral support plate 150, which takes up the elements of the sacred support plate 50 of FIG. 17, identified by the same reference numerals, by adding a lateral anchoring tab 145 bent at an angle straight as shown and provided with a lateral bore 146 shaped to receive a standard bone screw head.
- Figures 20 and 21 illustrate another type of anchoring element according to the invention, in the form of a support plate 56 on the body of a vertebra.
- This support plate 56 is in the form of a rigid plate, generally oval, whose opposite faces lower 57 and upper 58 are curved to match the shape of the vertebral body.
- the convex upper face 58 has on its median part anti-slip reliefs 59 and a threaded cylindrical part 5 for adaptation of a slide.
- the upper face 58 with its anti-slip reliefs 59 constitutes a stop plate.
- the support plate 56 is provided with two bores 60 and 61, located on either side of the threaded cylindrical part 5, and which are both generally hemispherical in shape, to receive the hemispherical head complementary to a bone screw standard. Note that the axes of the bores 60 and 61 are offset, as shown in Figure 21, so that the bone screws penetrate the vertebra without touching, despite the inclination of their respective axes.
- the device according to the invention may include two securing rods 3 located on either side of the spinous process of the vertebrae, to better support and correct the spine of a patient, it may be advantageous to secure these two rods 3 by one or more transverse stabilization systems, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23.
- This stabilization system comprises a spacer 62, comprising a central portion 63 ending in two flared end portions 64 and 65 each provided with a respective passage hole 66 and 67 and with a bearing face 68 and 69 provided first anti-slip reliefs such as radial ribs 70 and 71.
- the holes 66 and 67 are tapped.
- the connection of the spacer 62 with the attachment rods 3 is effected by means of connecting slides, the first contact surfaces 25 of which bear on the ribbed bearing faces 68 and 69 of the spacer, prohibiting any rotation. Screws ensure the clamping of each slide on the corresponding face 68 or 69 of the spacer 62.
- the spacing of the two securing rods 3 can be adjusted by longitudinally shifting the slides one relative to the other, the spacer 62 then being in an oblique position.
- the apparatus of the invention allows the use of a rod or of several rod elements, of curvature suitable for the vertebral region to be treated.
- the principle of reduction of the deformed spine is three-dimensional. It is necessary to transform a scoliotic curve oriented in a plane close to the frontal plane into a physiological curve located in the sagittal plane and presenting a normal cyphotic, thoracic and lumbar lordotic curvature.
- the securing rod is given a shape close to the normal physiological curvature, and it is positioned in the sagittal plane of the patient, by fixing its two ends by anchoring elements and correctly tightened slides.
- the non-slip reliefs of the invention thus allow very effective blocking of the rod, both in translation and especially in rotation.
- Anchor elements are positioned in or on the other intermediate vertebrae. The anchors closest to the rod are engaged in the slides and locked to block the rod in the sagittal plane and also prevent its rotation. The engagement of the most distant anchors located in the concavity of the curve is allowed by the length of the threaded cylindrical part 5 of the anchoring elements.
- the progressive tightening of the nut 8 brings the anchor point closer to the securing rod , achieving the progressive reduction of vertebral curvature. If the elasticity of the spine runs out, the securing rod 3 deforms, and ensures a correction in an intermediate position of maximum reduction.
- the apparatus according to the invention thus makes it possible to go to the spot to find each intermediate anchoring element, to introduce its cylindrical threaded part into the bore of a slide, and to fix it rigidly on the rod, in alignment with the upper and lower anchoring elements, to obtain the desired straightening of the vertebrae thus fitted by screwing and tightening the nuts, causing the slides to lock on the rod.
- the positioning of the device which is the subject of the invention on the patient's spine can be carried out both in the anterior position and in the posterior position, relative to the spine.
- an apparatus according to the invention may comprise, depending on the treatment of the spine to be carried out, screw anchors, or hook anchors, or plate anchors, or a combination of two or three of these types of anchors which are thus independent of each other.
- the particular elements of the invention allow an assembly of two opposing hooks, associated with respective slides mounted on the same connecting rod 3, to form a pediculo-lamar clamp.
- the pedicle hook 200 corresponds to the type of hook 2 shown in Figure 5.
- the hook 202 is a lamina hook end shown in FIG. 24, in which the curved hook portion 203 is integral with a generally cubic body 204 pierced with a transverse bore 205 for the passage of an attachment rod 3.
- a suitable screw in an axial threaded hole 206 comes resting on the rod passing through the transverse bore 205 and blocks the hook 202 on the rod.
- the hook part 203 is located close to the axis of the connecting rod 3.
- the two hooks 200 and 202 in opposition can be adapted, one to be in pedicle support and the other in lamar support on the same vertebra, respecting the natural offset between the blade and the pedicle. Thanks to the locking in rotation of the pedicle hooks, obtained by the anti-slip reliefs, a particularly effective attachment is achieved on certain upper vertebrae, without having to resort to screw anchoring elements. It will be understood that such a pediculo-lamar clamp can be used regardless of the presence or nature of other elements anchor, and that it presents its own functionalities and advantages.
