Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for expanding a body cavity, in particular a bone cavity, by means of an expandable device, and to a device for expanding a body cavity, in particular a bone cavity, the device comprising an expandable and sealed casing.
- This method is used to stabilize existing or impending fractures of osteoporotic and non-osteoporotic bones, including preferably the vertebral bodies, the distal radius and the proximal humerus.
- the device (balloon) used for bone compression is inflatable and expandable, and corresponds to the inner shape of the cortical bone covering.
- the bone densification method can also be carried out two times or in succession, in that a smaller balloon initially creates a small cavity, which is then sealed by another balloon. is enlarged.
- the inflatable device can also be filled with contrast medium in order to check the correct position by X-ray. However, the bone cement or the liquid bone substitute is not introduced directly into the inflatable device, but directly into the bone cavity after the inflatable device has been removed.
- the inflatable device used for this method can also be chambered; the inflatable device is inserted into natural or artificial body cavities through natural or artificial openings or accesses by means of catheters.
- This device is used in vertebral bodies to straighten and re-establish the fracture (vertebroplasty), ie to restore the natural shape of the bone.
- Such compression fractures are more common in osteoporosis; For example, about a third of all women over the age of 65 suffer a vertebral compression fracture.
- Such a fracture occurs primarily on the thoracic spine (BWS) and leads to an increase and increase in the physiological curvature (kyphosis), to the formation of humps (hyperkyphosis, Gibbus), to a reduction in the thoracic space with respiratory and cardiovascular problems, and to reduce the patient's quality of life.
- BWS thoracic spine
- humps hyperkyphosis, Gibbus
- EP 0 836 435 A and US 6,066,154 special forms of bone compress used inflatable device described.
- the inflatable device can produce edges, ridges or notches on the interior relief of the resulting cave.
- the shape variants of the inflatable device extend to the torus, ball combined with ring, kidney shape, hemisphere, pyramid, elliptical cylinder and ball.
- the materials used for the inflatable device are non-elastic materials, such as PET or Kevlar, semi-elastic materials, such as silicone, or elastic materials, such as latex.
- this inner splint is removed after the time has elapsed after the inflation of the inflatable device has been deflated.
- the inflatable device can also be coated with substances that prevent bleeding or infection, and minimize or prevent bone growth to the inflatable device so that the inflatable device can be removed from the bone again. The resulting bone cavity is filled with bone cement after removal of the inflatable device.
- the design according to US Pat. No. 5,972,015 ensures the erection of compression fractures by means of an inflatable device, the main axis of which does not coincide with the main catheter axis.
- the following are proposed as materials for the inflatable device: vinyl, nylon, polyethylene, ionomer, polyurethane, polyethylene tetraphthalate (PET), silicone; surgical steel (stainless steel) and nickel-titanium alloys are mentioned as additional catheter materials.
- a woven mesh made of a biocompatible structure (Goretex ® , Nitinol ® and Dracon ® ) is pushed over the inflatable device before it is inserted and thereby introduced into the bone cavity; after removing the inflatable device, this net is filled with bone substitute material.
- the following are proposed as materials for the inflatable device: polyurethane, silicone, thermoplastic rubber, thermoplastic elastomers and nylon.
- the inflatable device can also be segmented or chambered.
- a double inflatable device is described, wherein the inner one can expand and take on a certain shape and the outer one ensures the strength.
- the following are specified as filling materials for the bone cavity: bone cement, autograft, allograft, hydroxyapatite and synthetic bone.
- the above-mentioned patents result in a method for erecting fractures and for preventing impending fractures, with the following special designs: the inflatable device is not filled with bone substitute material.
- the inflatable device is not filled with bone substitute material after insertion into a bone cavity. - The inflatable device does not remain in the bone all the time.
- the bone especially the vertebral body, is damaged by a fracture, its bone continuity is interrupted and its vessels are injured.
- the replacement material Due to the pressure drop, the replacement material enters the vertebral veins of the vertebral body or the vertebral vein plexus behind the vertebral body. These veins of the lumbar spine drain into the inferior vena cava, into which the replacement material subsequently gets. This can lead to complete blockage of certain vessels, causing the patient to die. leads. These include the inferior vena cava with subsequent lower stasis, and the pulmonary arteries with subsequent pulmonary embolism (Padovani et al., American Journal of Neuroradiology 20: 375-377, 1999).
- the prior art inflatable device is inserted into a fractured bone to restore its original shape. Inflation of the device exerts pressure on the surrounding bone tissue and creates a bone cavity. After this step, the inflatable device is removed. This reduces the pressure originally applied to a minimum; in any case, the surrounding body pressure exceeds the pressure in the bone cavity, so that it partially collapses again and its expansion is reduced.
- the surrounding body pressure arises from: positioning of the patient during the operation, muscle pull, pressure in the abdominal and thoracic areas (breathing pressure). Injection of the bone substitute material under low pressure cannot restore the original expansion of the bone cavity created by the inflatable device.
- a viscous bone substitute material can only be injected slowly through a narrow-lumen cannula. Due to the bone dimensions and pre-damage, only English cannulas can be used (diameter up to 5 mm). If the bone substitute material remains viscous and hardens only slowly, it can change its shape within the bone cavity after filling by changing pressure conditions (eg during movement), so that the bone collapses again. Is the bone substitute material in the viscous state Once the hardening phase has ended, a slow injection is impossible. The replacement material solidifies before the entire bone cavity is filled; therefore it cannot lie against the inside walls of the cave. As a result, the cave is reduced to the extent that was filled.
- Implants that can be filled with bone cement and that remain in the bone are known in connection with implants (hip prostheses, dental implants). These are used to anchor the implant in an artificially (surgically) manufactured (pre-drilled) bone cavity in which the inflatable device connected to the implant is filled.
- US 6,042,380 and WO 9926554 AI This is a dental implant which is anchored in the jawbone in order to be able to wear, support and attach a denture.
- the implant consists of an inflatable and inflatable device made of metal or metal alloy ("metal or metal alloy balloon”), which remains in the jaw.
- the wall of this balloon consists of a thin metallic material (“metal material”) or alternatively of a polymer (biocompatible material).
- the balloon has an opening for introducing the bone cement. The denture is placed on this opening.
- a filling instrument is attached to the channel opening.
- the inflatable device is connected to a prosthesis.
- the inflatable device opens directly into the body through an opening.
- the inflatable device is filled using a filling instrument.
- the inflation instrument is connected to the opening of the inflatable and inflatable device.
- both the filling instrument and the opening of the device must be rigid to ensure a tight connection.
- the filling instrument must not be removed before hardening to prevent the bone cement from escaping. After hardening, the solid bone cement creates a rigid connection between the filling instrument and the filled device. This connection can only be separated with considerable effort. This force can lead to an undesirable change in position of the filled device, especially if the bone is damaged and cannot counteract the change in position. In such cases, the purpose of the inflatable device is not fulfilled.
- the connection between the filling instrument and the opening of the inflatable device can fail during the injection of the bone cement due to the high pressure, so that the bone cement can escape into the body.
- the inflatable device preferably after filling, is not connected to the bone, there is a risk that the device will slip against the bone after the bone cement has hardened.
- This instability arises because there is a gap between the sheath of the device and the bone. This slipping is mainly due to the fact that the bone cavity is pre-drilled and its transverse cut is circular. This results in twisting (rotational instability) or slipping out (axial instability).
- the bone cavity is filled directly with the bone cement, there is a non-positive connection between the bone and the prosthesis, since the cement adheres to both the bone and the prosthesis due to its adhesive properties.
- the inflatable device is used for anchoring in the bone, an expansion of a body cavity, in particular a bone cavity, is not provided and is also not desired. An expansion cannot be carried out by means of this device, since an expansion would lead to an explosion and therefore to a fracture of the compact bone.

- the expandable device is filled via the catheter connected to the device.
- the filling of the expandable device with bone cement serves to expand a body cavity, in particular a bone cavity.
- expandable in connection with the method according to the invention refers to the fact that the device can change its external shape by filling.
- the folded or airless device is introduced into the cavity (bone cavity) through a catheter. Access points to the bone cavities located in the bone wall serve as an insertion point, including fracture gaps, vascular holes and natural and artificial bone channels.
- Both a one-time or simultaneous and a two-time Filling can be done.
- a first unfolding of the expandable device is brought about by filling the expandable device with a fluid (liquid or gas) and the volume of the cavity is measured, and then the bone replacement material is introduced by a second fill.
- bone replacement material is filled immediately and the bone is compressed and straightened at the same time.
- the casing of the device may be inextensible or stretchable for this purpose.
- the filled device corresponds to an internal splinting of the bone. If necessary due to peculiarities of the fracture or the bone anatomy, several inflatable devices must be used on the same bone in succession or simultaneously.
- the device according to the invention based on the device of the type mentioned at the outset, is essentially characterized in that the casing of the device is filled with a bone substitute material after insertion into a body cavity and the casing is connected to at least one catheter.
- the sheath of the expandable device and the catheter consist of biocompatible, bioinert or bioactive material, on which either bone grows and grows or which is resorbed.
- the expandable device in question is connected to at least one catheter; the catheter contains one or more lumens / lumens. If it is stated above that the expandable device according to the invention is no longer removed from the bone, this means that the device is no longer removed surgically. If the device is made of resorbable material, then this material is replaced by the body's own tissue, but by definition not removed.
- Materials that ensure ingrowth of bone tissue include: synthetic polymers, porous synthetic materials and bio-inert materials with a special texture that consists of a woven, braided, knitted, knitted or knitted structure. Structures of this type are known from ligament replacement (for example replacement of cruciate ligaments; Chaput C. and Duval N., Duval N. and ' Chaput C, in Yahia L'H: Ligaments and Ligamentoplasies; Springer, Berlin, 1997), which are fixed must provide a non-positive connection between the bone and the replacement tissue.
- ligament replacement for example replacement of cruciate ligaments; Chaput C. and Duval N., Duval N. and ' Chaput C, in Yahia L'H: Ligaments and Ligamentoplasies; Springer, Berlin, 1997), which are fixed must provide a non-positive connection between the bone and the replacement tissue.
- the biodegradable, i.e. resorbable, substances that can be replaced by the body's own tissue include the following polymers: polylactonic acid (poly-lactic acid, PLA), polyglycolic acid (poly-glycolic acid, PGA), PLA-PGA copolymers (PLGA, poly -galactine, Vicryl), polydioxanone, polycaprolactone (PCL), polycarbonates, polyhydroxybutylates, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PLA-co-lysine, polyethylene oxide
- PEO poly-ethylene-oxide

- HEMA poly-hydroxyethyl methacrylate
- pDEGMA polydiethylglycol methacrylate
- pAAMPS poly-2-acrylamino-2-methylsulfate propane
- pHEG poly.-2-hydroxyl-L -Glutamate

- Bone tissue can grow on an expandable device, which consists of the materials just mentioned, if the sheathing of the device consists of a special texture, in particular of a woven, braided, knitted, knitted or knitted structure. Since such a texture naturally contains gaps from which the bone substitute material can emerge, such a texture must preferably be coated on the inside with a coating which closes the gaps in the texture. Such a substance can contain, for example, an absorbable material. Will have a texture on the inside lined with an absorbable substance, then the bone tissue can grow into the texture and the inner lining is only reabsorbed during the waxing phase. If a texture is coated on the outside with a resorbable substance, then this must first be replaced by the body's own tissue, so that the same effect results as if an expandable device with a completely absorbable covering is used.
- the bone replacement materials on which the bone tissue grows, which are replaced by bone tissue, or which are accepted as bone tissue include, among others: polymethyl methacrylate bone cement (PMMA), synthetic bone in the form of calcium phosphate (on a synthetic or natural basis) , the latter, for example, from coral skeleton), microcrystalline calcium phosphate cement, apatite and hydroxyapatite, without or with the addition of other substances such as graphite fibers, titanium fibers, polyethylene particles, and autograft (endogenous cancellous bone, for example from the iliac crest), allograft (bones of others Humans) and heterograft (animal bones).

- radiopaque, bio-inert substances are present in the casing of the device and in the catheter, on the other hand in the bone replacement material are located.
- these include metals, metal salts and iodine salts.
- the radiopaque marking of the device and the filling material allows the device to fail (burst, puncture) during the filling and subsequently result in the filling material escaping in good time in order to avoid the complications mentioned at the beginning when bone replacement material escapes.
- the catheter is clamped or otherwise closed at the point of insertion in order to prevent the replacement material from escaping from the catheter.
- the device in addition to the single-chamber variant as a multi-chamber device, all chambers being filled by means of one or more channels in the catheter or several catheters.
- These chambers can be arranged, for example, in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the catheter, and can be connected to one another by partitions or have no common partitions (individual expandable devices).
- the advantage of the chambers arranged in the transverse direction of the catheter is that the chamber which is connected directly to the catheter is filled first; the neighboring chambers are subsequently filled, so that a consecutive filling is ensured.
- a special shape can also be achieved in that the casing of the expandable device is formed with reinforcing elements to form a different extent during the coating process.
- the catheter contains a light guide for optical control and a plurality of working channels (lumens) which serve to introduce and suction substances.

- the connecting means are attached to two opposite sides of the device.
- the connecting means is designed as a thread, ribbon, cord, rope, wire, chain, or a combination thereof, as a solid body or as a hollow body, with or without Wall openings.
- the connection means also serve for the correct placement of the expandable device.
- Both pedicles of the vertebra are cannulated before placement.
- the cannulas are advanced through the pedicles to the vertebral body.
- a lanyard is pushed into a (the first) cannula (for example the right one) up to the bone cavity of the vertebral body.
- a gripping or gripping instrument is advanced through the second cannula (for example the left one), which fixes and holds the free end of the connecting means located in the vertebral body.
- the connecting means is pulled out of the second cannula, so that it comes to rest in both pedicles and in the vertebral body connecting the pedicles.
- the connecting means leaving the second cannula the expandable device connected to the connecting means is pulled through the first cannula into the vertebral body.
- the second connecting means thus comes to rest in the first cannula.
- the correct, final placement is achieved when the expandable device lies entirely in the vertebral body and a connecting means leads outwards through each cannula.
- the cannulas can then be removed from the pedicles.
- the connecting means projecting outward through the pedicles are now attached to the bone under tension, so that the expandable
- connection means are attached to the bone, for example, by wrapping a bone extension with subsequent knotting, by pulling the connection means through an artificially created bone canal in a bone extension with subsequent knotting, by fixing the connection means in or on the bone using a nail or a screw over an interruption in the connecting means (eyelet), or by connecting the connecting means to one another and to one another, across the center line.
- suitable bone extensions for anchoring the connecting means are: transverse, joint, dome extension and vertebral arch.
- the expandable device is then filled via at least one catheter, which also comes to rest in a pedicle. As a result, the cover plates of the collapsed vertebral body are pushed apart and the bone fracture is set up. By filling the expandable device, the rear wall lies flat against the back of the vertebral body. After the bone cement has hardened, it is prevented from tilting or slipping relative to the bone by the fastening via the connecting means.
