Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a device for use in minimally invasive spine surgery. More particularly, it refers to a pre-made, pre-shaped metallic implant implanted using an arthroscopic type portal or classic open surgical method to achieve a spinal facet joint hemi-arthroplasty to resurface any or all of the forty-eight superior facets of the inferior Occiput-Cl through L5-S1 vertebrae.
- Background Art
- One of the root causes of back pain, particularly persistent and disabling back pain, are facet joints, small joints located behind adjacent vertebrae in the spine that allow for spinal motion.
- the present invention provides a pre-made pre-'shaped metallic implant for use in minimally invasive spine surgery.
- a pre-shaped metallic overlay of this invention for facet joint resurfacing of diseased, painful, deteriorated or overstressed joints offers three distinct advantages over larger prosthetic implants; namely, (1) using a thin metallic overlay allows for minimally invasive insertion that is safer, less traumatic and requires far less recovery time compared to a prosthetic; (2) the overlay does not require the use of cements, pedicle screws or other fixation methods that can work their way loose over time; and, (3) the implant has two fins or blades to provide lateral stability and two teeth to provide temporary fixation and a rough or porous inner surface amenable to bone in growth providing permanent natural fixation.
- the implant also has a polished outside that allows for smooth, natural, pain free articulation of the joint.
- the implant is specifically designed for use in an arthroscopic type portal for standalone procedures, but also may be used in classic open surgery.
- This implant provides a unique, stronger and superior resurfacing and may be used for, but not limited to: (1) an adjunct to instrumented vertebral fusion when implanted in the two facet joints immediately above and below the two joints adjoining the instrumentation thereby eliminating the risk of collateral post-operative facet joint pain resulting from additional stress placed on facet joints, (2)when used to resurface adjoining facet joints directly above and below a disk replacement by eliminating the risk of collateral post-operative facet joint pain resulting from additional stress placed on facet joints by the disk replacement, and, (3) as a stand along treatment for diseased, painful or deteriorated facet joints.
- the invention accomplishes its goal of resurfacing a painful, diseased or deteriorated spinal facet joints by providing a resurfacing implant to replace the joint surface with a small metal on bone overlay.
- the overlay constructed of cobalt chrome or such other biocompatible metal or metallic alloy appropriate for joint hemi-arthroplasties, is one of several sizes for various segments of the spine, similarly sized for different facet joints or groups of joints in the spine and are attached to the joint using a straightforward process without the need for screws or cements.
- the facet joints may be accessed using an arthroscopic type portal eliminating the need for open surgery, hospitalization and long recovery periods .
- the procedure also may be performed as an adjunct to other procedures such as instrumented fusion and disc replacement in a traditional open surgery.
- the side of the implant that attaches to bone is porous, the bone heals onto it, permanently fixing it into place.
- a uniquely designed set of blades and teeth provides temporary fixation to the joint and prevents migration.
- a crimping system allows the implant to be fixed into place, holding it firmly until bone in growth is complete.
- the side making contact with the joint is highly polished providing a smooth, virtually frictionless surface that undergoes virtually no wear and tear.
- the inside is rough or porous providing an amenable surface for bone in growth.
- a unique metallic prosthetic overlay is provided.
- the metallic overlay is generally shaped to the naturally shaped contour of the bone it resurfaces and is highly polished on the outside to provide frictionless articulation of the joint and rough or porous on the inside to promote and provide a surface to allow the natural bone to grow into the overlay, providing a permanent fixation.
- the overlay is mechanically crimped into place using two teeth opposed to each other and one to two blades on the inside of the implant that bite into the bone to prevent lateral migration.
- the overlay is further held into place by the natural pressure of the inferior and superior sides of the joint as they come together in their natural position.
- the system to insert the prosthetic overlay includes any number of instruments allowing preparation of the joint and the implant to be placed using a minimally invasive surgical arthroscopic technique to access to the joint that include a director probe to determine the correct facet joint angle, a separator to assist with separation of the vertebrae to improve access to the joint, an osteotome to make a small cut in the bone to prepare the surface for the implant, a broach to prepare the bone to match the implant shape, an impactor to impact the implant into place and a crimp to fix the implant to prevent migration prior to healing and a unique implant.
- the director may include a planer blade or rasp to remove any bone spurs or overgrowth and to flatten the facet joint surface in preparation for implant placement.
- Figure 1 shows a top right isometric view of the implant
- Figure 2 shows a bottom left isometric view of the implant
- Figure 3 shows a sectional view along line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
- Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a tool used to prepare the facet joint for receipt of the implant
- Figure 5 shows the tool inserted in the facet joint
- Figure 6 shows the insert about to be installed in the facet joint
- Figure 7 shows the insert embedded in the facet joint
- Figure 8 shows a sectional view along line 8-8 in FIG. 7.
- the prosthetic implant 10 of this invention has a highly polished concave outside back portion 12 and a convex highly polished surface on a top portion 14.
- the highly polished surface is a cobalt-chrome alloy, a titanium alloy or other biologically acceptable material capable of forming a smooth highly polished surface.
- an inside convex surface is textured 18 to encourage new bone growth and adhesion.
- Blades 20 and 22 attached to inside surface 16 bite into bone to promote adhesion.
- the bottom surface 24 of the top portion of implant 10 is concave to fit tightly over a bone as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Teeth 26 and 28 are used for imbedding into adjacent bone to prevent movement of implant 10.
- a preparation tool 30 Prior to imbedding the implant in the facet joint 32, a preparation tool 30 is used to slightly spread the joint 32. Tool end 34 is inserted into the joint 32 to provide sufficient space for inserting implant 10 into joint 32 as seen in FIGS. 7 and 8.
- the use of the prosthetic implant 10 has two advantages over the prior art:
- the present invention is directed at overcoming, or at least improving upon, the disadvantages of the prior art by achieving the following:
- Spinal facet implant units are calculated per joint. Each patient has two joints per spinal segment and six segments (T12 to Ll through L5-S1) in the lumbar spine, or twelve lumbar, fourteen cervical and twenty-eight thoracic joints. Each surgery is likely to involve multiple joints, with a probable average of four per patient.
- the invention accomplishes its goal of reducing, preventing or eliminating spinal facet joint pain by providing a resurfacing implant to replace the joint surface with a small metal on bone overlay.
- the overlay constructed of cobalt chrome, a material previously approved by the FDA for other joint hemi-arthroplasty, or such other metallic construction as may be safely used, is one of several sizes for various segments of the spine, may be similarly sized for different joints and is attached to the joint using a straightforward process without the need for screws or cements with the aid of custom designed instruments.
- the joint is accessed using an arthroscopic type portal eliminating the need for open surgery, hospitalization and long recovery periods (unless the procedure is performed as an adjunct to other procedures such as instrumented fusion and disc replacement in a traditional open surgery) .
- the side making contact with the joint iis highly polished providing a smooth, virtually frictionless surface that undergoes virtually no wear and tear.
- the resurfacing implant is a securely fixed porous hemi-arthroplasty of the facet joints of the spine.
- the metallic overlay is generally shaped to the natural contour of the bone it resurfaces and is highly polished on the outside to provide frictionless articulation of the joint and rough and porous on the inside to promote and provide a surface to allow the natural bone to grow into the overlay, providing a permanent fixation.
- the overlay is mechanically crimpled into place using two teeth opposed to each other that bite into the bone to prevent migration.
- the overlay is further held into place by the natural pressure of the inferior and superior sides of the joint as they come together in their natural position.
- the system includes any number of instruments 30 allowing preparation of the joint 32 and the implant 10 to be placed using a minimally invasive surgical arthroscopic technique to access to the joint that include a director probe to determine the correct facet joint angle, a separator to assist with separation of the vertebrae to improve access to the joint, an osteotome to make a small cut in the bone to prepare the surface for the implant, a broach to prepare the bone to match the implant shape, an impactor to impact the implant into place and a crimp to fix the implant to prevent migration prior to healing and a unique implant.
- the director may include a planer blade or rasp to remove any bone spurs or overgrowth and to flatten the facet joint surface in preparation for implant placement.
