Description

IMPLANT POUR ARTHRODESE RACHIDIENNE INTER-SOMATIQUE ET AUTRES
La présente îmention est relative a un implant pour notamment arthrodèse rachidienne înter- somatique destine a être implante entre deux corps v ertebraux pour rétablir d une part 1 écart normal entre ces deux corps et assurer d autre part leur fusion 5 Ce genre d implant doit repondre a deux exigences contraires D une part il doit assurer la régénération osseuse entre les corps \ ertebraux et pour cette raison doit présenter un degré de porosité ele\e qui affaiblit notablement sa résistance mécanique et d'autre part doit résister aux efforts de compression ou de poinçonnage que lui appliquent les deux corps \ ertebraux 11 faut sa*, oir que 1 intensité de ces efforts est relativement élev ée et peut conduire a la rupture de 1 implant a\ ec les conséquences 0 graves que cela implique les fragments d implants pouv ant migrer v ers le canal rachidien et endommager irréversiblement la moelle epimerc ou bien v ers le réseau asculaire et être a 1 origine de la perforation d une artère Pour ces raisons les implants sont disposes dans des cages de fusion destinées a encaisser les efforts Cependant ces cages peuv ent ralentir la régénération osseuse cl donc la fusion des corps v ertébraux 1 un a 1 autre et de plus elles ne permettent pas 1 et îbhssemcnt d un contact direct entre ^ 1 implant et les corps v ertébraux
La présente in ention a pour but de pallier les incon énients précédemment cites en mettant en oeuv re un nouv eau tvpe d implant renforce mécaniquement et présentant un degré de porosité suffisant pour assurer une formation rapide d un tissu osseux entre les deux corps v ertebraux cet implant étant destine a enir directement en contact av ec les corps v ertébraux 0 A cet effet 1 implant selon 1 inv ention destine a être implante dans un corps osseux ou bien entre deux corps osseux adjacents par exemple des corps ertébraux pour réaliser la fusion de ces derniers se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu il est constitue d un greffon poreux en céramique constituant 1 implant proprement dit possédant une première face de fusion destinée a v enir en contact av ec 1 un des corps osseux une seconde face de fusion opposée a la précédente destinée a v enir en contact av ce 1 autre ï corps osseux et au moins deux faces latérales opposées jointes aux faces de fusion et se dév eloppant sensiblement de manière perpendiculaire a ces dites faces les pores dans ledit greffon formant un reseau débouchant au moins dans les deux faces de fusion et le dit greffon poreux étant renforce par une armature de précontrainte disposée a écartement des faces de fusion et en pression contre les faces latérales pour exercer sur ces dernières des efforts normaux de compression 0 Cet implant maintenant renforce par 1 armature de précontrainte peut être dispose entre les deux corps v ertebraux par exemple et encaisser sans risque de rupture les efforts exerces par ces corps sur les deux faces de fusion Si par cas le greffon poreux v tent a se rompre aucun risque de migration des fragments formes n est cependant a craindre ces derniers sont retenus en place par 1 armature de précontrainte et peuv ent de ce fait assurer la fusion des deux corps v ertebraux 5 Selon une autre caractéristique de 1 inv ention 1 armature de précontrainte est équipée d empreintes de préhension destinées a coopérer en emboîtement de forme av ec des embouts de forme complémentaire pratiques en extrémité d un instrument de manipulation et de pose Lors de la manipulation et de 1 implantation de I implant la préhension de ce dernier par 1 annature de renfort
CONFIRMATION C0PY permet de reporter tous les efforts sur cette dernière ce qui év ite la fissuration du greffon poreux, voire sa cassure
Chaque face de fusion que possède le greffon est limitée par plusieurs côtes formant le périmètre L'armature de précontrainte est disposée à écartement des côtés peπmétπques de chaque face de fusion Selon une première forme de réalisation, le greffon poreux se présente sous la forme d'un cv lindre présentant, perpendiculairement a son axe de révolution, deux faces planes constituant les faces latérales, ledit greffon, d'une face latérale à l'autre et selon l'axe de rév olution étant pourvu d'un perçage traversant, l'armature de précontrainte étant constituée d'une tige rigide centrale engagée librement dans le perçage traversant A 1 une des extrémités de de cette tige est enracinée une paroi sous forme de disque destinée a v emr a pression contre la face latérale correspondante du greffon poreux A l'autre extrémité de la tige est engagée une seconde paroi sous forme de disque, cette seconde paroi étant destinée a être fixée a la tige et être amenée en pression contre 1 autre face latérale afin que le greffon poreux puisse être maintenu en compression entre les deux parois sous forme de disque
Selon une autre caractéristique de 1 inv ention la seconde paroi présente un taraudage trav ersant. axial, par lequel elle est engagée en v issage sur une portion d'extrémité filetée de la lige
Ainsi l'armature réalise une précontrainte axiale du greffon grâce a laquelle le greffon pourra mieux résister aux efforts radiaux de compression ou de poinçonnages exerces pai les corps osseux
En v ariante, la seconde paroi est πv etee sur la tige centrale
Pour accroître I importance des surfaces en contact av ec les corps osseux, le greffon selon cette première forme de réalisation présente un filetage externe par lequel il est engage en v issage dans une loge taraudée pratiquée dans 1 un et 1 autre corps osseux
Selon une autre caractéristique de 1 inv ention, la seconde paroi présente deux encoches radiales constituant empreintes de manipulation par lesquelles 1 implant peut être saisi par un outil stérile approprie en ue de sa manipulation et de son implantation entie les deux corps v ertébraux D'autres av antages cl caractéristiques de l'inv ention apparaîtront a la lecture de la description d'une forme préférée de réalisation, donnée a titre d'exemple non limitatif en se référant aux dessins annexes en lesquels

- la figure 9 est une vue en coupe d un instrument de pose d un implant selon la figure 1
En figure 1 est représente un implant 1 selon une première tonne de réalisation pour par exemple arthrodèse rachidienne inter-somatique
Le greffon poreux 2 de cet implant se présente sous la forme d un c hndre pourvu 0 perpendiculairement a son axe de rév olution de deux faces planes constituant deux faces latérales Ce greffon c lindπque d une face latérale a 1 autre et selon son axe de rév olution est pourvu d un perçage trav ersant
L armature de précontrainte 3 destinée a être associée a ce r pe de szrefton est constituée d une tige rigide 3 1 centrale engagée libicmcni dans le perçaue irav ersant du greffon i 1 une des extrémités de **» laquelle est enracinée une pairoi " sous forme de disque destinée a v enir en pression contre la face latérale correspondante de ce greffon De préférence cette paroi 32 est raccordée a la tige par un congé en arc de circonférence de cercle pour
Figure imgf000005_0001
iter toute amorce de rupture a ce niv eau
A 1 autre extrémité de la tige 1 est engagée une seconde paroi 33 sous tonne de disque La seconde paroi 33 est destinée a être amenée en pression contre 1 autre face latérale et être fixée 0 rigidement a la tige De cette façon le greffon poreux 2 est maintenu en compression entre les deux parois sous forme de disque 33 de 1 armature ce qui lui confère une résistance accrue a la compression radiale
Les paiois sous lorme de disque 2 33 de I irmaturc de précontrainte présentent un diamètre intérieur au diamètre du mclfon 2 de façon a cire ec îπees pai icui périphérie des corps v eπcbraux el 5 ev ner ainsi de léser ces derniers
Selon la forme préférée de réalisation les parois latérales 32 33 sont perpendiculaires a la tige 1
Selon une première forme de réalisation telle que représentée en figure 2 1 extrémité libre de la tige 31 est filetée et la seconde paroi 33 est pourvue d un taraudage trav ersant axial par lequel elle est 0 engagée en v issage sur la tige pour être amenée en pression contre le greffon Cette seconde paroi sera pourvue de deux empreintes en creux diamétralement opposées sur lesquelles par un outil adapte d un tvpe connu par exemple une cle dv namoinetπque sera exerce un couple de serrage Ces empreintes ont également pour fonction de constituer un moven de préhension par lequel a l'aide d un outil approprie du tvpe pince le greffon pourra être saisi manipule et implante dans la loge formée entre les corps 5 vertébraux
Selon une autre forme de réalisation telle que représentée en figure 3 la seconde paroi 33 est fixée par nv étage sur la lige centrale 31 A cet effet la seconde paroi est pourvue d un perçage trav ersant lisse dote a 1 oppose du greffon d un lamage Selon ce mode de réalisation la tige comporte une extrémité susceptible d être déformée radialement en expansion La fixation de la seconde paroi est opérée lorsque 1 effort requis de serrage axial des deux parois sur le greffon est atteint cette fixation étant effectuée par déformation de 1 extrémité libre de la tige 31 dans le lainage de la seconde paroi 33 Le serrage des deux parois sur le greffon est réalise par traction sur 1 extrémité libre de la tige 31 et simultanément par poussée sur la seconde paroi Le contrôle de la valeur de la précontrainte est assure dans ce cas par mesure de 1 allongement de la tige 31 sous 1 effet de 1 effort de traction
Dans cette forme de réalisation la seconde paroi 33 est également pourvue d empreintes en creux diamétralement opposées Dans ce cas aussi ces empreintes ont pour fonction de constituer un mov en de préhension par lequel a l'aide d un outil approprie du type pince le greffon pourra être saisi manipule et implante dans la loge formée
Av antageusement le greffon poreux présente un filetage 21 creuse dans sa masse depuis sa surface cv hndrique de façon a pouv oir être v isse dans une loge taraudée pratiquée dans les deux corps v ertébraux Cette disposition en augmentant la surface de contact entre le greffon et les corps vertébraux conduit a une meilleure intégration du greffon poieux De plus les filets en réalisant une liaison par obstacle s opposent au mouv ement de pure translation de 1 implant dans la loge formée Par ailleurs pour une meilleure résistance le filetage forme dans le greffon présente un profil rond
On a précédemment décrit un implant dont la seconde paroi plane est équipée de deux empreintes de préhension diamétralement opposées Selon une autre forme de réalisation telle que représentée en figure 4 la première paroi 2 est dotée d un taraudage central prolonge axialcment dans la tige 31 Dans ce taraudage est engagée en \ issage la broche filetée 1 1 d un instrument de pose 10 Cet instrument de pose 10 est dote d un fut 12 dans lequel est montée librement la broche filetée 10 la partie filetée de cette broche étant en débordement axial par rapport a 1 extrémité distale du fut A 1 autre extrémité la broche est équipée d une mollette de manoeuv re 1 3 cette mollette formant saillie par rapport a 1 extrémité proximale du fut 12 De plus le fut de 1 instrument de pose est équipe de deux bras radiaux de préhension 14 diamétralement opposes Par manoeuv re de la mollette 13 la partie filetée de la broche 1 1 est engagée en v issage dans le taraudage pratique dans la première paroi de 1 armature de 1 implant et dans la tige de 1 armature et sous 1 effet du v issage la première paroi de 1 armature de 1 implant est amenée en pression contre 1 extrémité distale du fût De cette manière 1 implant est rigidement immobilise par rapport a 1 instrument de pose et peut être introduit a l'aide de ce dernier dans la loge préalablement réalisée dans les deux corps vertébraux
Cet instrument de pose peut rece oir des outils appropries pour forer et tarauder la loge A cet effet chaque outil de forage ou de taraudage sera équipe d un taraudage axial destine a recev oir en v issage la partie filetée de la broche de 1 instrument
En figure est représente un implant 4 pour par exemple arthrodèse rachidienne înter- somatique pouvant être mise en place sous endoscopie Le greffon 5 de forme cv hndrique a ec ev entuellement filetage externe a profil rond présente deux rainures longitudinales diamétralement opposées et 1 armature o de précontrainte est constituée par un etπer en U v enant par ses deux branches parallèles dans les deux rainures en pression contre le fond de ces dernières et par son âme contre 1 une des deux faces d extrémité du greffon poreux L ame de 1 etner est pourvue d une empreinte en creux centrale de fonne polv gonale dans laquelle est destinée a être engage en emboîtement de forme un embout polv gonal porte en extrémité d un instrument de manipulation et de pose
En figure 6 est représente un implant 7 selon une deuxième forme de réalisation pour par exemple arthrodèse rachidienne inter-somatique
Les faces latérales du greffon poreux 8 de cet implant sont *oιntes les unes aux autres et forment une enveloppe continue et 1 armature de précontrainte 9 est constituée par une ceinture continue appliquée en pression contre les faces latérales par exemple par frettage Dans ce cas le contrôle de la précontrainte est assure par la mesure du *eu initial entre le greffon et la ceinture Dans cette ceinture 9 sont pratiquées deux empreintes en creux distantes 1 une de 1 autre Ces empreintes constituent mov en de préhension
Selon une première v ariante d exécution les faces de fusion sont planes et sont inclinées ! une par rapport a 1 autre Cette disposition permet de conserv er 1 inclinaison naturelle entre deux v ertèbres Selon une seconde ariante d exécution telle que représentée en figure 7 les deux faces de fusion sont convexes Cette disposition permet de reproduire la forme anatomique entre deux corps ertébraux adjacents
Pour év iter tout contact av ec les corps ertébraux la largeur de la ceintuie 9 que forme 1 armature est inférieure a la largeur de 1 env eloppe continue que forment les faces latérales
De préférence la porosité du greffon est dirigée d une face de fusion a 1 autre En v ariante le greffon poreux 8 de 1 implant 7 présente une zone centrale 81 a porosité dirigée d une face de fusion a 1 autre et une zone dense 82 disposée autour et au contact de la zone centrale les faces latérales du greffon étant formées dans cette zone dense
Le greffon de 1 implant selon les div erses formes de réalisation qui iennent d être décrites est réalise de préférence en un matériau bioresorbable par exemple en une céramique de phosphate tncalcique mais on pourra prév oir un greffon réalise en un matériau non resorbable A titre d exemple le greffon pourra être réalise en une céramique hvdroxvapatite Dans tout les cas le greffon se présente sous la forme d un corps solide compact rigide
L annature de 1 implant selon les dix erses formes de réalisation est réalisée en en titane en acier inowdable de qualité appropriée en carbone tisse ou non tisse en polv mère ou plus généralement en tout matériau biocompatible métallique ou non métallique présentant des caractéristiques mécaniques aptes a assurer un niv eau de précontrainte adéquat
Il v a de soi que le domaine d application de 1 implant n est pas limite a 1 arthrodèse rachidienne inter-somatique mais que plus généralement 1 implant peut être utilise pour la fusion de deux os adjacents De même cet implant peut être utilise pout tout autre application que la fusion de deux corps osseux adjacents Ainsi il peut être dispose dans une loge formée dans un os pour réaliser un ancrage ou un support afin de résister a des charges mécaniques
