- pores located near at those wall sections do not directly penetrate through the entire wall.
- the depth of the pores are less than the wall thickness.
- the pores do not form holes or openings that directly extend from the outside surface 305 into the interior surface 301.
- the implant may be formed of a porous material having a matrix of channels that indirectly connect inner surface 301 with outer surface 305, but do not directly connect the two surfaces as do fenestrations 20.
- a plurality of pores 304 may be located on the inside surface 301. These pores may be formed in the same manner described and also do not entirely penetrate through the wall 303.
- FIGS. 10A-B show a plurality of pores 202 on the implant 40 of FIGS. 2A-B. As shown in this embodiment, the pores 202 also do not directly penetrate through the full thickness of the wall 107. Implant 40 is shown having a wall 107 that defines a lumen 105 within the implant 40. The lumen is surrounded by an inner surface 101 that may also include pores.
- the outer surface 103 can include a plurality of pores that have a depth of penetration less than the full thickness of the wall.
- the entire body of the implant may be covered by pores as a porous material, such as a trabecular porous metal forms the entire implant body.
- the body is coated fully or partially with a porous coating such as a porous metal coating.
- the pores encourage rapid ingrowth of tissue into the implant to permit the implant to be fused into place within the surrounding bone segments.
- fenestrations 20 are omitted, so that the implant promotes tissue ingrowth but not through-growth.
- the implant may be rapidly fused with the bone but still removable if desired by applying sufficient torque to the implant to break the tissue ingrowth.
- FIGs. 3A-3D are illustrations of an exemplary procedure for implanting the threaded implants of FIGs. 1A-2B. More detailed, anatomically-focused descriptions of particular implantation techniques of the threaded implants in the SI- Joint are described with respect FIGs. 4-8B.
- the physician identifies the bone segments or adjacent bone regions that are to be fixated or fused (arthrodesed) (see FIG. 3A). Aided by conventional visualization techniques, e.g., using X-ray image intensifiers such as a C-arms or fluoroscopes to produce a live image feed that is displayed on a TV screen, a delivery pin 70 is introduced by conventional means (see FIG. 3B) through the one adjacent bone segment or region (bone segment 1), through the intervening space or joint, and partially into the other adjacent bone segment or region (bone segment 2).
- a cannulated drill bit 90 may be passed over the delivery pin 70 (see FIG. 3C), to form a pilot insertion path or bore 92 through the one adjacent bone segment or region, through the intervening space or joint, and partially into the other adjacent bone segment or region.
- a single drill bit or multiple drill bits 90 may be employed to drill through bone fragments or bone surfaces to create a pilot bore 92 of the desired size and configuration.
- a tapered drill bit or other cutting tool may be used to create a pilot bore having a taper that is complementary to a taper of the implant.
- a threaded implant 10 may be tapped over the delivery pin 70 through the pilot bore 92.
- the threaded implant 10 is advanced by tapping into the pilot bore 92 through the one adjacent bone segment or region, through the intervening space or joint, and partially into the other adjacent bone segment or region.
- threaded implant 10 may screwed into pilot bore 92 through the one adjacent bone segment or region, through the intervening space or joint, and partially into the other adjacent bone segment or region.
- a torque wrench may be utilized to indicate to the surgeon when the implant is sufficiently seated across the joint.
- Threaded implant 10 may also be positioned without forming a pilot insertion path or bore 92. Threaded implant 10 may be positioned by directly tapping or screwing the delivery device until progress is prevented by the safety stop feature as described with respect to FIGs. 1A-2B. (See FIG. 3D) [00066] Bone graft or bone graft substitute (not shown) may be packed into implant 10 and bore 92. The bone graft may be autologous, allograft, or synthetic. Substitute bone graft may include ceramics (i.e. calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate), bioglass and calcium sulphate or other biologic aid. Biologic aids and carriers for biologic aids are described with respect to FIG.
- Threaded implant 10 and bore 92 may be treated with bone graft or bone graft substitute before implantation. In various embodiments, threaded implant 10 and bore 92 are treated with bone graft or bone graft substitute after implantation. The addition of bone graft or substitute bone graft may enhance secondary implant stability to the newly fused joint and may provide resistance to rotation, migration and micromotion.
- FIGs. 4-5 are, respectively, anterior and posterior anterior views of the human hip girdle including the sacrum and the hip bones (the right ilium, and the left ilium), the sacrum being connected with both hip bones at the sacroiliac joint (in shorthand, the Si-Joint).
- Threaded implant structures 10, 40 like that shown in FIGs. 1A and 2A make possible the fixation of the SI- Joint (shown in anterior and posterior views, respectively, in FIGs. 4 and 5) in a minimally invasive manner.
- Threaded implant structures 10, 40 may be effectively implanted through the use of two alternative surgical approaches; namely, a lateral approach or a postero-lateral approach.
- threaded implant 10 is illustrated in FIGs. 3D, 6-8B, threaded implant 40 may be implanted using the method described herein.
- FIGs. 6-8B are anatomic views showing, respectively, in pre-implanted perspective, implanted perspective, implanted anterior view, and implanted cranio-caudal section view, the implantation of three implant structures for the fixation of the SI- Joint using a lateral approach.
- a lateral approach see FIGs. 6-8B
- one or more threaded implant structures 10 are introduced laterally through the ilium, the SI- Joint, and into the sacrum. This path and resulting placement of the threaded implant structures 10 are best shown in FIGs. 6-8B.
- three threaded implant structures 10 are placed in this manner.
- the threaded implant structures 10 are circular in cross section, but it should be appreciated that threaded implant structures of other cross sections may be used.
- the physician Before undertaking a lateral implantation procedure, the physician identifies the SI- Joint segments that are to be fixated or fused (arthrodesed) using, e.g., the Fortin finger test, thigh thrust, FABER, Gaenslen's, compression, distraction, and diagnostic SI Joint injection.
- the physician aligns the greater sciatic notches and then the alae (using lateral visualization) to provide a true lateral position. A 3 cm incision is made starting aligned with the posterior cortex of the sacral canal, followed by blunt-tissue separation to the ilium.
- the delivery pin 70 a Steinmann Pin for example, with a pin sleeve (not shown), is started resting on the ilium at a position inferior to the sacrum end plate and just anterior to the sacral canal and at a shallow angle (e.g. 15° to 20° off the floor, as FIG. 8B illustrates).
- the delivery pin 70 should be parallel to the sacrum end plate or angled slightly away from the sacrum end plate.
- the delivery pin should be posterior to the sacrum anterior wall.
- the delivery pin should be superior to the first sacral foramen and lateral of mid-line. This corresponds generally to the sequence shown diagrammatically in FIGs. 3A-B.
- a soft tissue protector (not shown) is desirably slipped over the delivery pin 70 and firmly against the ilium before removing the pin sleeve.
- the trajectory of the delivery pin 70 must not penetrate the anterior sacral cortex.
- the pilot bore 92 may be drilled in the manner previously described over the delivery pin 70 (and through the soft tissue protector), as illustrated in FIG. 3C.
- the pilot bore 92 may extend through the ilium, through the SI- Joint, and into the sacrum. The drill bit 90 is then removed.
- the threaded implant 10 is tapped into the pilot bore 92 over the delivery pin 70 (and through the soft tissue protector).
- a tubular threaded implant 10 may be tapped through the soft tissue protector over the delivery pin 70 through the ilium, across the SI- Joint, and into the sacrum, until the proximal end of the threaded implant 10 is flush against the lateral wall of the ilium (see also FIGs. 8A-B).
- the delivery pin 70 and soft tissue protector are withdrawn, leaving the threaded implant 10 residing in the bored passageway, flush with the lateral wall of the ilium (see FIGs. 8A-B).
- the proximal end of the threaded implant 10 is left proud of the lateral wall of the ilium, such that it extends about lmm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5 mm outside of the ilium. This ensures that the threaded implant 10 engages the hard cortical portion of the ilium rather than just the softer cancellous portion, through which it might migrate if there was no structural support from hard cortical bone.
- the hard cortical bone can also bear the loads or forces typically exerted on the bone by the threaded implant 10.
- two additional threaded implants 10 are delivered in this manner, as FIG. 7 best shows. [00075]
- the threaded implants 10 are sized according to the local anatomy.
- representative threaded implants 10 may range in size, depending upon the local anatomy, from about 35 mm to 70 mm in length, and about a 7 mm 15 mm diameter.
- the morphology of the local structures can be generally understood by medical professionals using textbooks of human skeletal anatomy along with their knowledge of the site and its disease or injury. The physician is also able to ascertain the dimensions of the threaded implant 10 based upon prior analysis of the morphology of the targeted bone using, for example, plain film x-ray, fluoroscopic x-ray, or MRI or CT scanning, as well as intraoperative sizing methods using provided instrumentation.
- the threaded implant structures can obviate the need for autologous grafts, bone graft material, additional screws and/or rods, hollow modular anchorage screws, cannulated compression screws, cages, or other fixation screws. Still, in the physician's discretion, bone graft material and other fixation instrumentation can be used in combination with the threaded implants.
- the threaded implants make possible surgical techniques that are less invasive than traditional open surgery with no extensive soft tissue stripping.
- the assemblies make possible straightforward surgical approaches that complement the minimally invasive surgical techniques.
- the profile and design of the threaded implants minimize rotation and micro-motion.
- Rigid threaded implants made from titanium provide immediate post-op fusion stability.
- a bony ingrowth, on-growth and/or through growth region including a porous plasma spray coating with irregular surface supports stable bone fixation/fusion.
- the threaded implants and surgical approaches make possible the placement of larger fusion surface areas designed to maximize post-surgical weight bearing capacity and provide a biomechanically rigorous implant designed specifically to stabilize the heavily loaded lumbar spine.
