Definitions
- the present invention relates to vertebral osteosynthesis equipment.
- vertebral osteosynthesis equipment including anchoring members for anchoring to the vertebrate (pedicle screws and/or lamina hooks), connecting bars, and connectors for connecting said bars to said anchoring members.
- This type of equipment assumes that pedicles that are slightly or not at all deteriorated exist for anchoring screws, or that there are sufficient spaces at the laminas to engage the hooks behind said laminas. This type of equipment is therefore not suitable when the pedicles of the vertebrae are deteriorated or the spaces are insufficient at the vertebral laminas, as is the case when the spine is greatly distracted and/or when the vertebrae are significantly pivoted and/or deformed.
- This type of equipment is also not suitable when it is necessary to perform a fairly significant "derotation" of one or more vertebrae, i.e. to pivot said vertebra(e) around themselves on the cervico-caudal axis so as to resituate them in normal anatomical positions.
- Such ligaments are in particular made up of plaits of polyester fibers, with a circular or flat section.
- the present invention therefore aims primarily to provide vertebral osteosynthesis equipment in which the strength of the connection of the ligaments to the connectors is durable.
- Another aim of the invention is to provide equipment in which the force that must be exerted on a ligament to perform a derotation of a vertebra is more reduced than with the existing equipment.
- One additional aim of the invention is to provide an instrument making the action exerted on the connectors easier to exert traction on a ligament.
- the concerned equipment includes, in a known manner, at least one connecting bar, at least one flexible ligament, and at least one connector making it possible to connect said ligament to said connecting bar, the connector including a first conduit for engaging the connecting bar, equipped with means for immobilizing the connector relative to said connecting bar, and a second conduit for receiving at least one strand of the ligament, having an insertion opening for this or these strands and an outlet opening for this or these strands;
- the connector includes a first portion in which said first conduit is formed and a second portion in which the second conduit is formed, said second conduit being separate from the first conduit and not in communication therewith;
- said second conduit is equipped with means for immobilizing the ligament relative to the connector, including a tightening member exerting, when it is tightened, a gripping of the ligament in said second conduit along an axis perpendicular to said second conduit.
- said second conduit is rectilinear between said insertion opening and said outlet opening
- said second conduit has a transverse section adjusted to the transverse section of the strand(s) of the ligament that it is intended to receive, i.e. a transverse section just sufficient to al low slidi ng of the strand(s) of the ligament in said second conduit, but such that the strand(s) are in close contact with the walls delimiting said second conduit.
- said second conduit is completely separate from said first conduit and is rectilinear, such that it does not have any sharp edges capable of making localized contact of the connector with the ligament, risking creating wear of the material of the ligament under the combined effect of the tension undergone by the ligament and the repeated forces exerted on that ligament by the movements of the patient;
- the tightening member may perform tightening of the ligament perpendicular to said second conduit, and the adjusted section of said second conduit makes it possible to ensure positioning of the ligament that is perfectly perpendicular to the tightening member, and to perform lateral setting of the ligament, therefore to oppose excessive crushing of the ligament by said member.
- the equipment according to the invention eliminates any localized wear of the ligament and that it thereby makes it possible to obtain lasting strength of the connection of the ligament with the connector.
- the ligament is a single strand, having one end fastened to the vertebra, or has two strands, but with a single strand engaged in the connector, the other strand for example being fastened to the connector; in that case, the connector is of a first type, in which said second conduit has a transverse section adjusted to the transverse section of the single strand that passes through said second conduit.
- the ligament has two strands and said two strands are engaged in the connector; the connector is then of a second type, in which said second conduit has a transverse section adjusted to the transverse section of the two strands that pass through said second conduit.
- the expression "adj usted transverse section” designates the fact that, when a single strand of the ligament is engaged in said second conduit, that strand is in close contact, by its four longitudinal sides, with the walls of the connector delimiting said second conduit, and that, when the two strands of the ligament are engaged in said second conduit, those strands are in close contact with one another by one of thei r longitudi nal sides and are in close contact, by thei r other three longitudinal sides, with the walls of the connector delimiting said second conduit.
- the connector forms a planar surface delimiting said second conduit, situated opposite said tightening member.
- the strand(s) of the ligaments are thus tightened in perfect conditions, between the tightening member and said planar surface delimiting said second conduit.
- the insertion opening of said strand(s) of the ligament into said second conduit i.e. the opening situated closest to a vertebra during use of the equipment, is delimited by a rounded edge.
- This edge also makes it possible to reduce the risk of localized wear of the material of the ligament.
- said tightening member has a diameter larger than the width of the strand of the ligament engaged in said second conduit, or, when the two strands of the ligament are engaged in said conduit side-by-side, has a diameter larger than the cumulative width of said two strands.
- said means for immobilizing the ligament include a tapped bore formed in said second portion, with an axis perpendicular to said second conduit and communicating with that conduit, and
- said tightening member is a screw capable of being received in said bore, having a planar and smooth inner end surface.
- the tightening screw can have a rounded edge between its smooth inner planar end surface and its adjacent peripheral surface.
- This tightening screw can also have a thread extending only over a proximal portion of its length, the peripheral surface of the distal portion of the screw, adjacent to said smooth planar inner end surface, being smooth.
- said tapped bore includes, at the bottom thereof, a smooth portion with a diameter adjusted to that of the smooth distal portion of the tightening screw.
- This smooth portion makes it possible to avoid any risk of the fibers of the ligament rising up between the threads of the screw and the tapped portion of the bore during tightening of the screw.
- Said second conduit could be formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a length of the connector defined jointly by said first portion and second portion; preferably, however, this second conduit is arranged obliquely relative to said length, such that the insertion opening of the strand(s) of the ligament in said second conduit, i.e. the opening located closest to a vertebra during the use of the equipment, emerges on one side of said second portion substantially opposite said first portion, or distant from said first portion.
- Said opening is less distant from the conduit formed by said first portion, which makes it possible to generate a significant lever arm when a pivot force is exerted on the connector in order to exert traction on the ligament.
- This lever arm consequently makes it possible to reduce the force that must be exerted on a connector to perform a derotation operation of a vertebra, and therefore to facilitate that operation.
- the angle of said second conduit with the direction of said length can in particular be between 30° and 60°. Preferably, this angle is 45°.
- the equipment according to the invention includes:
- the equipment according to the invention thus makes it possible to perform a rotation of a vertebra using the following sequence of operations:
- Said end of the lever is preferably in the form of an open cage delimited by two parallel walls capable of closely hugging the shape of the side surfaces of the connector, and by a bearing wall capable of bearing on said second portion of the connector, said bearing wall including a notch allowing access to said tightening screw.
- the two parallel walls advantageously include notches allowing their adjusted engagement on the connecting bar, said notches ensuring pivoting guiding of the lever relative to the axis of said bar.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a connector, a ligament, a portion of a connecting bar, a lever and two maneuvering instruments comprised by said equipment;
- figure 2 is a view of the connector, the ligament, and the portion of the connecting bar on a larger scale
- figure 3 is a view of the connector, the ligament, and the portion of the connecting bar similar to figure 2, after the lever engages with the connector;
- figure 4 is a perspective view of the connector, on an even larger scale
- figure 5 is a view of the connector in longitudinal cross-section, two tightening screws of that connector being out of their tapped receiving bores;
- figure 6 is a side view, along the axis of the conduit of said connector
- figure 7 is a cross-sectional view along line VII-VII of figure 5;
- figure 8 is a view similar to figure 5 when the connector is engaged on the connecting bar, the ligament is engaged thereon, and the tightening screws are placed in said bores;
- figures 9 to 12 are views of a vertebra and the aforementioned elements of the equipment during four successive steps of the derotation of the vertebra, with a sub- lamina ligament passage; and figures 13 to 16 are views similar to figures 9 to 12 respectively, of a sub-lamina ligament passage and are transverse views.
- Figure 1 shows a connector 1 , a ligament 2, a portion of a connecting bar 3, a lever 4 and two maneuvering instruments 5, 6 of a piece of vertebral osteosynthesis equipment.
- This equipment also includes anchor members for anchoring the bar 3 to the vertebrae, in particular pedicle screws and/or lamina hooks (not shown). It includes a plurality of connectors 1 , ligaments 2, and levers 4, making it possible to treat a plurality of vertebrate simultaneously, as well as a second connecting bar and other anchor members for anchoring said second part of the vertebrae, making it possible to anchor said second bar on the sides of the vertebrae opposite that on which the bar 3 is installed.
- Figures 4 to 6 show that the connector 1 includes a first portion 10, in which a first conduit 1 1 is formed for engaging on the bar 3, and a second portion 12 in which a second conduit 13, for receiving the two strands of the ligament 2, is formed, side-by- side.
- the first conduit 1 1 communicates with a tapped bore 15 for receiving a screw 16 for tightening the bar 3 in said conduit 1 1 .
- This conduit 1 1 includes, on the side diametrically opposite the bore 15, a rounded longitudinal recess 17 whereof the connection to the rest of the conduit 1 1 forms two longitudinal edges. The presence of these edges is favorable to complete immobilization of the connector 1 in rotation relative to the bar 3 when the screw 16 is tightened.
- the second conduit 1 3 is separate from the first conduit 1 1 and is not in communication therewith. It is rectilinear between the opening 18 for insertion therein of the strands of the ligament 2 and the opening opposite that conduit 13. The latter is also formed at 45° relative to a length of the connector 1 defined jointly by said first portion 10 and second portion 12, such that the opening 18 emerges on a side of the second portion 12 substantially opposite the first portion 10, or remote from said first portion 10.
- the opening 18 is delimited by a rounded edge over the entire periphery thereof, as visible in figure 6.
- the conduit 13 communicates with a tapped bore 19 with an axis perpendicular thereto, intended to receive a screw 20 for tightening the ligament 2 therein.
- this conduit 13 is delimited by a planar surface 21 extending in the continuation of the lower edge of the opening 18 (cf. figure 7).
- the conduit 13 also has a section adjusted to the section of the two strands of the ligament 2 it is intended to receive side-by-side.
- the screw 20 has a diameter larger than the cumulative width of the two strands of the ligament, and has a thread extending only over a proximal portion of its length, the distal portion of said screw having a smooth peripheral surface.
- the screw 20 ends with a smooth planar end surface, perpendicular to the axis of the screw, connected to the smooth peripheral surface by a rounded edge.
- the second portion 12 of the connector 1 also has, at the bottom of the bore 19, a smooth portion 22 defining an opening with a diameter adjusted to that of the smooth distal portion of the screw 20.
- the incline of the conduit 13 makes it possible to create a significant lever arm when a pivot force is exerted on the connector 1 in order to exert traction on a vertebra to be straightened, as will be described later in reference to figures 9 to 12 or 13 to 16.
- the ligament 2 is, in a known manner, made up of a plait of polyester fibers, with a circular section in the illustrated example.
- the bar 3 is, in a manner also well known, formed by a metal cylinder.
- the lever 4 has a distal end 25 configured in an open cage capable of being closely engaged on the connector 1 , as shown in figure 3, and engaging therewith so as to pivotably connect the connector 1 and the lever 4 along the axis of the conduit 1 1 .
- the open cage is delimited by two parallel walls 26 capable of closely hugging the side surfaces of the connector 1 and a bearing wall 27 capable of bearing on said second portion 12 of the connector.
- the two parallel walls 26 include notches allowing them to be engaged in an adjusted manner on the bar 3, these notches thereby ensuring pivoting guiding of the lever 4 relative to the axis of said bar 3.
- the bearing wall 27 includes a notch allowing access to the screw 20, and, on the side opposite the wall 27, said open cage forms a wide access opening for accessing the screw 16.
- the maneuvering instruments 5, 6 assume the form of rods including, at their distal ends, portions engaged with the maneuvering cavities comprised by the screws 16 and 20, and at their proximal ends, square-shaped actuating portions. Said engaging portions and said maneuvering cavities are star-shaped profiles called "torks" in the illustrated example.
- Figures 9 to 12, or 13 to 16, respectively illustrate four steps of a procedure for derotation of one or more vertebrate 100 that the equipment according to the invention makes it possible to perform, i.e. pivoting of said vertebra(e) 100 around themselves substantially along their cervico-caudal axis in order to resituate said vertebrate in anatomically normal positions.
- pivoting of the vertebra 100 has been shown directly into a final straightening position; in practice, this straightening is general ly done over several vertebrae, and is done gradual ly, by successive straightening operations of the vertebrae in intermediate straightening positions and progressing from one vertebra to the next, successively.
- the opening 1 8 of the conduit 1 3 is distant from the conduit 1 1 , which makes it possi ble, as shown i n figu res 7 to 1 0, to generate a significant lever arm when the pivot force is exerted on the connector 1 using the lever 4.
- This lever arm consequently makes it possible to reduce the force that must be exerted on the connector 1 to perform the derotation operation, and therefore greatly facilitate the operation.
- Figures 13 to 16 are views similar to figures 9 to 12, respectively, except that the ligament 2 is engaged around the lamina of the corresponding vertebra and around the transverse apophysis, with crossi ng of the strands between the lami na and the transverse apophysis and passage of the strands on each side of said transverse apophysis.
- the invention consequently provides vertebral osteosynthesis equipment having the decisive advantages of allowing a durable connection of the ligament 2 to a connector 1 , making it possible to exert a more reduced force on said ligament during a derotation operation of a vertebra, and making the action exerted on a connector 1 to perform traction on the ligament 2 easier.
