Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a system for fixation of two or more parts of a fractured bone. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bone implant and locking apparatus for internal fixation of a long bone, such as a femur.
- Fractures commonly occur in the femur, and especially in the femoral neck and intertrochanteric regions. Traditionally, these fractures have been treated using a nail located in the femoral head in cooperation with a side plate located on the outside of the femur, or in cooperation with an intramedullary nail located in the intramedullary canal. The nail cooperates with the side plate or intramedullary nail to align and compress the bone fragments.
- a high incidence of death is associated with hip fractures due to the injury itself or related complications. Frequent complications may arise when two or more bone fragments are forced towards each other when the patient supports his or her weight on the healing bone.
- a sharp implanted nail or hip screw may cut through and penetrate the femoral head or neck; or a nail, hip screw, side plate, or intramedullary nail may bend or break under load where the contact between bone fragments is insufficient for the bone itself to carry the patient's weight.
- helical blades have been developed that may be inserted into and secured to the neck of a femur, and coupling mechanisms have been developed to slidably couple the helical blade to a side plate or intramedullary nail.
- Prior art blades may be susceptible to migration within the bone fragment and, even worse, may break free or pull out of the bone fragments, thus allowing the bone fragments to separate and/or become misaligned.
- Prior art blades are also susceptible to bending stresses, which may lead to undesirable bending or breakage of the blade.
- an implant for fixation of a bone includes a shaft having proximal and distal ends and defines a longitudinal axis between the proximal and distal ends.
- a plurality of blades, each having proximal and distal ends, are disposed on the shaft and are helically twisted about the longitudinal axis.
- the plurality of blades may twist about 90° around the longitudinal axis.
- At least one of the blades may have a variable blade width that varies along the longitudinal axis.
- variable blade width may increase in a direction from the blade proximal end toward the blade distal end.
- at least one of the blades may have a variable blade height that varies along the longitudinal axis.
- the variable blade height may increase in a direction from the blade proximal end toward the blade distal end.
- the variable blade height is preferably substantially zero at the blade proximal end, such that the proximal end of the blade is substantially flush with the proximal end of the shaft.
- the shaft of the implant may define a bladed portion and a non-bladed portion.
- the non-bladed portion may define a non-bladed diameter
- the bladed portion may define a bladed diameter that is smaller than the non-bladed diameter.
- the non-bladed portion may include a tapered region located substantially adjacent the bladed portion, wherein the tapered region defines a tapered region diameter that decreases in a direction toward the bladed portion.
- the tapered region may further define a neck diameter at a point substantially adjacent the blades that is smaller than the blade diameter.
- the present invention is also directed to a coupling mechanism for coupling a first fracture fixation implant to a second fracture fixation implant.
- the coupling mechanism includes a body member receivable in the first implant and including a single prong extending from the body for contacting a surface of the second implant.
- the coupling mechanism further includes a drive member rotatably coupled to the body member for threadable engagement with the first implant.
- the drive member rotates freely with respect to the body member and may be used to urge the body member toward the second implant such that the single prong contacts the surface of the second implant and substantially prevents rotation of the second implant with respect to the first implant.
- the single prong may define a first engagement surface
- the second implant may define a second engagement surface
- the first and second engagement surfaces may interact to substantially prevent rotation of the second implant with respect to the first implant.
- the single prong may limit sliding of the second implant with respect to the first implant.
- the second engagement surface may include stops formed adjacent at least one of its ends for contacting the prong to prevent further sliding of the second implant.
- the coupling mechanism may also be provided in a system for fixation of a fractured bone, which includes first and second fracture fixation implants.

- a fracture fixation implant 20 is shown implanted in a femur and coupled to a second fracture fixation implant 22, which is shown for illustrative purposes as an intramedullary nail 22.
- Implant 20 may be used in conjunction with an intramedullary nail 22 or other fracture fixation member to treat orthopaedic trauma, impending bone fractures, and bone fractures.
- implant 20 may be used to treat intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.
- Implant 20 is not limited to use in conjunction with an intramedullary nail 22, however, and maybe used alone or in conjunction with any number of implants, bone plates, etc., known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
- the present invention is not limited to treatment of the femur, and maybe used to treat any of the bones in the human and/or animal bodies.
- implant 20 includes a shaft 24 having a proximal end 26 and a distal end 28, and defines a longitudinal axis 30 between the proximal and distal ends 26, 28.
- a plurality of blades 32 are disposed on shaft 24 and are helically twisted about longitudinal axis 30, as will be discussed in more detail below.
- the plurality of blades 32 has a proximal end 34 and a distal end 36, and blade proximal end 34 is preferably located substantially adjacent shaft proximal end 26. Blades 32 may alternatively be located on shaft 24 at an intermediate position between shaft proximal and distal ends 26, 28.
- a cannulation 38 may optionally be provided in shaft 24 and oriented substantially coaxially with longitudinal axis 30. If provided, cannulation 38 may be sized to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) to aid in the alignment of implant 20 during the implantation procedure, as is commonly known in the art.
- Shaft distal end 28 may be configured and dimensioned for attachment to an insertion device (not shown), such as an insertion handle or driving cap.
- insertion device not shown
- shaft distal end 28 may be angled with respect to shaft longitudinal axis 30 and/or include a recess 35 having a threaded portion 37 for attachment to an insertion device.
- recess 35 may have a non-symmetrical shape, such as a D-shape, so that the rotational orientation of implant 20 can be readily ascertained from distal end 28.
- implant 20 is preferably provided with four helical blades 32a-32d that twist about longitudinal axis 30.
- blades 32a-32d each have a helical twist about longitudinal axis 30, which is shown as approximately 90°.
- each blade is rotated approximately 90° about longitudinal axis between proximal end 34 (shown in FIG. 4A) and distal end 36 (shown in FIG. 4F).
- the helical twist is such that once implant 20 is driven into a bone, e.g., the femur, the helical twist of blades 32 substantially prevents implant 20 from sliding in the bone along longitudinal axis 30.
- blades 32 may have any amount of helical twist about longitudinal axis 30, such as, for example, 45°, 60°, 120°, 180°, 360°, 720°, or 1080°.
- a first blade 32a and a second blade 32c are substantially diametrically opposed from one another about longitudinal axis 30, and a third blade 32b and a fourth blade 32d are also substantially diametrically opposed from one another about longitudinal axis 30.
- First and second blades 32a, 32c are preferably about 90° out of phase with respect to third and fourth blades 32b, 32d, however other configurations are within the present invention.
- at least one of the blades 32 defines a blade width W that varies along longitudinal axis 30. More specifically, blade 32b has a blade width W b that increases from blade proximal end 34 (shown in FIG. 4A) to blade distal end 36 (shown in FIG. 4F), such that blade width W b is greatest substantially adjacent blade distal end 36 and smallest substantially adjacent blade proximal end 34.
- blade width W b gradually tapers outward from proximal end 34 to distal end 36.
- blades 32b and 32d both have variable
- blade widths W b and W respectively.
- the distal ends 36 of blades 32b and 32d are substantially aligned with the plane in which the majority of forces are applied to implant 20 (a substantially vertical plane, in the view of FIG. 1, extending through longitudinal axis 30 and longitudinal axis 68).
- ends 36 increase the bending strength of implant 20, while the decreased widths at proximal ends 34 provides for ease of insertion of implant 20 into the bone.
- the taper of blades 32b and 32d also helps to prevent sliding of implant 20 within the bone along longitudinal axis 30.
- one or more of the blades 32 may have a
- blade 32c may have a substantially constant width W c that is substantially equal at blade proximal end 34 (shown in FIG. 4A), at the intermediate points shown in FIGS. 4B-4E, and at blade distal end 36 (shown in FIG. 4F).
- blade 32a also has a substantially constant blade width W a (blade width W a appears to vary in FIGS. 4A-4F due
- blade width W a is actually substantially constant along longitudinal axis 30).
- At least one of the blades 32 may define a blade height H (defined perpendicularly to longitudinal axis 30 from the base of the blade 32 to the tip of the blade) that varies along longitudinal axis 30.
- blade 32a may have a blade height H a that increases from blade proximal end 34 (shown in FIG. 4A) to blade distal end 36 (shown in FIG. 4F), such that blade height H a is greatest substantially adjacent blade distal end 36 and smallest substantially adjacent blade proximal end 34.
- blade height H a is substantially zero at blade proximal end 34, as shown in FIG. 4A, such that blade 32a is substantially flush with shaft 24 at proximal end
- At least one of the blades 32 may have a substantially constant blade height H.
- blades 32b, 32c, and 32d each have substantially constant blade heights H b , H c , and H d , respectively, that are substantially constant from blade proximal end 34 (shown in FIG.4A) through the intermediate points shown in FIGS. 4B-4E, and at blade distal end 36 (shown in FIG. 4F).
- implant 20 includes a bladed portion 40, upon which blades 32 are disposed, and a non-bladed portion 42 that is without any blades 32.
- Bladed portion 40 defines a bladed diameter 44 and non-bladed portion 42 defines a non- bladed diameter 46.
- the maximum diameter of bladed portion 40 i.e., where bladed diameter 44 is at its greatest
- bladed portion 40 may pass freely through bore 66 in intramedullary nail 22 (shown in FIG. 5 and discussed in detail below) to provide ease of assembly, and non-bladed portion 42 may mate with bore 66 to provide a stable sliding interconnection between non-bladed portion 42 and bore 66.
- Non-bladed portion 42 maybe further provided with a tapered region 48 located substantially adjacent the bladed portion 40.
- Tapered region 48 defines a tapered region diameter 50 that decreases in a direction toward bladed portion 40.
- tapered region diameter 50 may, at the location adjacent to the untapered region, be equal to non-bladed diameter 46 and decrease, or taper inward, along longitudinal axis 30 towards the distal end of bladed portion 40.
- tapered region 48 is curved inwardly to provide even stress distribution throughout the tapered region 48, and to provide a uniform bending of implant 20 under loading.
- tapered region 50 may further define a neck diameter 52 at a point substantially adjacent bladed portion 40 (at the point where non-bladed portion 42 meets bladed portion 40) that is smaller than bladed diameter 44.
- This configuration of implant 20 provides for bone ingrowth between the non- bladed portion 42 and the bladed portion 40, thereby providing resistance against implant 20 from backing out of the bone.
- tapered region 48 serves to self-center implant 20 as implant 20 is inserted into bore 66 of intramedullary nail 22 (shown in FIG. 5).
- the present invention is also directed to a mechanism which may be used to couple a first fracture fixation implant 20 to a second fracture fixation implant 22.
- the coupling mechanism maybe used to couple implant 20, described above, to an intramedullary nail 22.
- the coupling mechanism is not limited to use with implant 20 and/or intramedullary nail 22, and may be used to couple any number of different fracture fixation implants known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
- a body member 60 and a drive member 62 are shown assembled into an interior channel 64 in intramedullary nail 22.
- Body member 60 and drive member 62 cooperate with channel 64 to secure implant 20 (not shown) in a bore 66 that extends through intramedullary nail 22.
- body member 60, drive member 62 and channel 64 cooperate to substantially prevent implant 20 from rotating about its longitudinal axis 30 (shown in FIGS. 1-3) within bore 66, and also to limit sliding of implant 20 within bore 66 to a predetermined distance.
- Intramedullary nail 22 defines a longitudinal axis 68 that may be straight, bent (shown), curved, or otherwise configured and dimensioned to mate with the geometry of the bone into which intramedullary nail 22 is to be implanted.
- Channel 64 extends substantially along longitudinal axis 68, and is dimensioned and configured to receive body member 60 and drive member 62, such that the two parts may move in channel 64 at least partially along longitudinal axis 68.
- a series of threads 98 may be disposed on channel 64, as will be discussed in detail below.
- a pair of grooves 65 may be foimed on channel 64, and are preferably diametrically opposed from one another.
- bore 66 extends through intramedullary nail 22 and intersects with channel 64, and is dimensioned and configured to allow implant 20 to slide therethrough.
- bore 66 is configured and dimensioned to slidably engage non-bladed portion 42 of implant 20, and maintain implant 20 in angular relationship with respect to longitudinal axis 68.
- bore 66 is disposed at an angle 70 with respect to longitudinal axis 68.
- Angle 70 may be selected to match the anatomy of the patient in which intramedullary nail 22 and implant 20 are to be implanted, for example, to correspond to the femoral neck/shaft angle of a human patient.
- a cannulation 72 (partially shown in FIG.
- body member 60 may optionally be provided through intramedullary nail 22 in substantial coaxial alignment with longitudinal axis 68. If provided, cannulation 72 may be sized to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) to guide the implantation of intramedullary nail 22 into the bone, as is commonly known in the art. Referring to FIGS. 8-11, body member 60 is shown in detail. Body member
- body member 60 includes a substantially cylindrical portion 78 that defines a longitudinal axis 80 of the body member 60, and a prong 76 extending from cylindrical portion 78.
- body member 60 is not limited to the shape shown, and may have any shape that permits body member 60 to move within channel 64 of intramedullary nail 22.
- a pair of alignment tabs 85 may extend from cylindrical portion 78. If provided, tabs 85 are positioned on body member 60 such that tabs 85 maybe received in grooves 65 (shown in FIG. 7) of intramedullary nail 22. Cooperation between tabs 85 and grooves 65 substantially limits rotation of body member 60 within channel 64 of intramedullary nail 22. Cooperation between tabs 85 and grooves 65 also maintains surface 79
- grooves 65 have ends 67 (shown in FIG. 7) that contact tabs 85 and prevent body member 60 from sliding any further towards bore 66. Ends 67 are located in channel 64 at locations such that tabs 85 contact ends 67 (to prevent further movement of body member 60 towards bore 66) before surface 79 contacts implant 20.
- surface 79 is preferably oriented at an angle 81 with respect to longitudinal axis 80 that is substantially equal to angle 70, although angle 81 maybe different than angle 70. According to the configuration where angle 81 is substantially equal to angle 70, angled surface 79 remains at a constant distance from implant 20 when the coupling mechanism is assembled and locked.
- Body member 60 may also include an attachment portion 82, which is configured and dimensioned to rotatably couple body member 60 to drive member 62, as will be discussed in more detail below.
- attachment portion 82 includes a pair of upward-extending arms 83 that define a pair of opposed channels 83a for receiving a portion of drive member 62 therein.
- a cannulation 84 may optionally be provided through body member 60 in substantial coaxial alignment with longitudinal axis 80 to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) therethrough.
- prong 76 extends away from body member 60 in a direction substantially parallel to longitudinal axis 80, and may be configured and dimensioned to contact implant 20 to limit sliding and rotation of implant 20 with respect to longitudinal axis 30 (shown in FIG. 1). As will be discussed in more detail below, prong 76 may be provided with a first engagement surface 86 that contacts a second engagement surface 90 formed on implant 20 to substantially prevent rotation of implant 20 and limit sliding of implant 20, as will be discussed in more detail below. According to alternative embodiments of the present invention, body member 60 may be provided with two or more prongs to contact two or more engagement surfaces formed on implant 20.
- a second prong may extend from body member 60 in the same direction as prong 76, and may be diametrically opposed to prong 76 about longitudinal axis 80 and substantially parallel to prong 76.
- the two-pronged embodiment may be used, for example, with an implant 20 having two diametrically opposed engagement surfaces.
- a single-pronged embodiment may be used with an implant 20 having two or more engagement surfaces.
- second engagement surface 90 is shown formed on implant 20.
- second engagement surface 90 is substantially flat and extends along longitudinal axis 30.
- First and second stops 92, 94 maybe located at opposite ends of locking second engagement surface 90.
- second engagement surface 90 is recessed into shaft 24 of implant 20, and stops 92, 94 are formed at the boundaries of the recessed surface.
- engagement surface 90 and stops 92, 94 may alternatively be formed on or extend from shaft 24.
- implant 20 may alternatively be provided with two or more second engagement surfaces 90, which may interact with a body member 60 having one, two or more prongs.
- prong 76 interacts with implant 20 to substantially prevent rotation of implant 20 about its longitudinal axis 30. More specifically, prong 76 fits tightly in the space between channel 64 and implant 20 such that first and second engagement surfaces 86, 90 are maintained in contact under the constraints of channel 64. In this configuration, implant 20 is substantially prevented from rotation about its longitudinal axis 30 due to abutment of substantially flat first and second engagement surfaces 86, 90.
- the coupling mechanism may thus be used to maintain implant 20 in its intended rotational orientation within the bone.
- stops 92, 94 prevent implant 20 and implant 22 from coming apart, and may also limit the amount of sliding of implant 20 along its longitudinal axis 30 to the length of second engagement surface 90. For example, once implant 20 slides distally until first stop 92 contacts prong 76, any further sliding in the distal direction is prevented. Likewise, once implant 20 slides proximally until second stop 94 contacts prong 76, any further sliding in the proximal direction is prevented.
- first and second stops 92, 94 may be selectively spaced apart along longitudinal axis 30 to provide for a desirable amount of sliding between implant 20 and intramedullary nail 22, such as to provide for compression between the two fractured bone fragments.
- limited sliding may be desirable during implantation, to compress a fractured femur head toward the trochanteric region. Additionally, limited motion may also stimulate bone growth and fracture healing during service.
- first engagement surface 86 and second engagement surface 90 are not limited to the substantially flat configurations shown herein. Rather, first and second engagement surfaces 86, 90 may have any geometries that, when located adjacent one another, prevent rotation of implant 20 about axis 30, yet provide for sliding of implant 20 along longitudinal
- body member 60 may have two or more prongs 76, and implant 20 may have two or more engagement surfaces 90. While multiple prongs may be desirable in certain applications (such as where extraordinarily large forces tend to rotate first implant 20 about its longitudinal axis 30 with respect to second implant 22), the
- FIGS. 8-10 1 exemplary embodiment having a single prong 76, shown in FIGS. 8-10, or alternatively having one prong longer than the other, provides for increased ease of assembly over the two-pronged or multi-pronged embodiments having equal length prongs.
- a single prong 76, or one prong longer than the other maybe advantageous in the instance shown in FIG. 12 A, where implant 20 is misaligned in bore 66 such that first engagement
- first and second engagement surfaces 86, 90 are flush with one another, and moreover, are engaged to substantially prevent rotation of implant 20.
- first and second engagement surfaces 86, 90 are flush with one another, and moreover, are engaged to substantially prevent rotation of implant 20.
- FIG. 12B 20 embodiment having equal length prongs, as shown in FIG. 12B, is moved toward an implant 20 that is misaligned in bore 66, one of the prongs 76 contacts shaft 24 and prevents the other prong 76 from contacting the respective second engagement surface 90 to rotate implant 20 into alignment.
- second prong 76b is in contact with shaft 24 and prevents first prong 76a from contacting second engagement surface 90a to rotate implant
- a single-pronged embodiment (or a multi-pronged embodiment having one prong longer than the other) may provide for increased ease of assembly of the coupling mechanism.
- tabs 85 if provided, cooperate with grooves 65 to substantially prevent body member 60 from rotating within channel 64 of
- drive member 62 is shown in detail.
- Drive member 62 is configured and dimensioned to engage channel 64 to selectively hold body
- drive member 62 includes a series of threads 96 which mate with a series of threads 98 formed in channel 64, however other structures for securing drive member 62 in channel 64, such as springs or elastomers, are also within the present invention.
- Drive member 62 also includes an attachment portion 100 which is configured and dimensioned to rotatably couple drive member 62 to body member 60,. such that drive member 62 may freely rotate with respect to body member 60. This is especially useful in the case where tabs 85 (FIGS. 8 and 11) cooperate with grooves 65 (FIG. 7) to prevent rotation of body member 60 in channel 64.
- attachment portion 100 is a substantially disc-shaped flange that may be received between the channels 83a formed in arms 83 of body member 60.
- any number of structures may alternatively be provided to couple drive member 62 to body member 60 and provide for rotation between the two parts, such as, for example, screws, swivels, pins, etc.
- body member 60 and drive member 62 may be either permanently attached, or detachably coupled to one another.
- Drive member 62 may also include a tool-engaging portion 102. As shown, drive member 62 defines a substantially hex-shaped opening 102 that is dimensioned and configured to engage a hex key.
- Tool-engaging portion 102 may alternatively be dimensioned and configured to engage any number of driving tools known to one of ordinary skill in the art, such as a screw driver or wrench.
- a cannulation 104 may optionally extend substantially axially through drive member 62 to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) therethrough.
- End cap 106 is shown.
- End cap 106 maybe removably attached to the end of intramedullary nail 22 to conceal body member 60 and drive member 62 in channel 64.
- end cap 106 may be urged against drive member 62 to prevent drive member 62, and consequently body member 60, from unintentionally migrating within channel 64.
- end cap 106 includes a series of threads 108 disposed thereon, which mate with the series of threads 98 formed on channel 64, or another series of threads formed on channel 64, to secure end cap 106 on intramedullary nail 22. Any number of structures known to one of ordinary skill in the art, including snap fasteners, adhesives or screws may alternatively be used to removably attach end cap 106 to intramedullary nail 22. End cap 106 may further include a tool-engaging portion 110, shown as a substantially hex-shaped portion 110 that is dimensioned and configured to engage a wrench.
- Tool-engaging portion 110 may alternatively be dimensioned and configured to engage any number of driving tools known to one of ordinary skill in the art, such as a hex-key or screw driver.
- a cannulation 112 may optionally be provided, which extends substantially axially through end cap 106 to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) therethrough.
- Intramedullary nail 22 may be provided with body member 60, drive member 62 and, optionally, end cap 106 preassembled into channel 64, thus reducing the amount of time associated with implanting intramedullary nail 22, as well as reducing the amount of parts that must be handled by the surgeon.
- cannulations 72, 84, 104, and 112 (provided in intramedullary nail 22, body member 60, drive member 62, and cap 106, respectively) maybe substantially aligned to permit insertion of a guide wire (not shown) completely through the preassembled unit.
- a guide wire may be used to guide intramedullary nail 22, including the preassembled locking components, into the intramedullary canal of a fractured bone.
- an insertion handle 120 may optionally be provided to aid with insertion of the second implant (e.g., intramedullary nail 22).
- insertion handle 120 includes a handle portion 122 and a coupling portion 124.
- Coupling portion 124 may include a bore 125 that is dimensioned and configured to receive a coupling screw 126.
- Coupling screw 126 may be inserted through bore 125 and threaded into threads 98 of channel 64, to detachably couple insertion handle 120 to intramedullary nail 22.
- One of ordinary skill in the art will know and appreciate, however, that other structures may be employed to detachably couple insertion handle 120 to intramedullary nail 22.
- insertion handle 120 When attached to intramedullary nail 22, insertion handle 120 may be used to aid insertion of intramedullary nail 22 into the intramedullary canal.
- a cannulation 128 may optionally be provided in coupling screw 126 and aligned with cannulations 72, 84, and 104 (discussed above), to permit use of insertion handle 120 to insert intramedullary nail 22 over a guide wire.
- the length L of coupling screw 126 shown in FIG. 17, may be selected such that insertion handle 120 may be coupled to intramedullary nail 22 with body member 60 and drive member 62 preassembled therein.
