Definitions

  • the invention described herein relates generally to medical instruments and, more particularly, to surgical instruments having a tool positioned at a working end thereof.
  • Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure during which an interior portion of the human body, such as a knee or shoulder joint, is examined or operated on using an arthroscope.
  • An arthroscope is a type of endoscope or miniature camera that is passed through a cannula which is inserted into the joint through a small incision in the skin to enable a surgeon to view the joint and/or perform a surgical operation without fully opening the joint.
  • Arthroscopy may also be used to diagnose and measure chondral defects in the cartilage of the shoulder, knee, ankle, hip, and elbow joints.
  • a surgeon may also use an additional surgical instrument to push, pull or otherwise manipulate tissue in a patient's joint to evaluate tissue pathology. For example, the surgeon can make a diagnosis by observing how an additional instrument, such as a probe, pulls tissue apart or separates tissue from bone.
  • the additional instrument may also be used as part of a surgical operation, such as shaving of bone tissue.
  • the additional instrument is introduced into the patient through another incision in the skin and passed through a cannula that is adjacent to one used to introduce the arthroscope into the area of interest.
  • the invention described herein is a surgical instrument used in arthroscopic surgery with a reflecting member, such as a mirror, which is movable along a track that runs between the handle of the instrument and a tool disposed at the end of the instrument.
  • the reflecting member reflects the line of sight of an arthroscope during an arthroscopic surgery, improving the surgeon's view of a surgical site through the arthroscope.
  • the surgical instrument of the current invention enables a surgeon to see aspects and regions previously difficult or impossible to see, as well as to aid in palpatory diagnosis of tissue pathology or in a surgical operation, without having to change portals within a joint of the human body, such as a hip, shoulder, or knee.
  • the invention described herein allows for full visualization of the undersurface of the patella during a knee operation, more visualization of the articular cartilage around the curve of the humeral head during a shoulder or hip operation, and/or complete visualization of the undersurface of the distal tibia during an ankle operation.
  • the invention described herein could also be used to measure a chondral defect in the cartilage of a joint while performing arthroscopic surgery.
  • An example of the invention described herein may include a surgical instrument comprising an elongated member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends; a handle extending from the proximal end of the elongated member; a tool disposed at the distal end of the elongated member; an elongated track formed integrally with the elongated member between the handle and the tool; and a reflecting member slidably received within the track, the reflecting member including a first end closer to the proximal end of the elongated member, a second end closer to the distal end of the elongated member, and a surface extending between the first and second ends.
  • the surgical instrument may also include at least one locking means for releasably locking the reflecting member to the track which may be a set screw.
  • the track may include first and second side panels perpendicular to a surface of the elongated member, and a top panel parallel to the surface of the elongated member extending between the first and second side panels.
  • An outer surface of at least one of the top, first and side panels of the track may include at least one groove.
  • the reflecting member may include first and second lateral walls perpendicular to the surface of the elongated member, an inner surface of the first and second lateral walls having at least one projection received within the at least one groove.
  • the at least one projection may also include at least one bore for receiving a locking means.
  • a length of a side of the reflecting member may be longer than a length of both the first end and second ends, and a long dimension of the reflecting member may be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated member.
  • a short dimension of the reflecting member may be transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elongated member.
  • a length of the first end of the reflecting member may be longer than a length of the second end of the reflecting member, or a length of the second end of the reflecting member may be longer than a length of the first end of the reflecting member.
  • a height of the first end of the reflecting member with respect to a surface of the elongated member may be greater than a height of the second end, or a height of the second end of the reflecting member with respect to a top surface of the elongated member may be greater than a height of the first end.
  • the surface of the reflecting member may comprise polished metal and may be planar, convex or concave with respect to a surface of the elongated member.
  • a circumferential surface of the elongated member may also comprises a plurality of measurement markings spaced apart at a uniform distance.
  • Examples of the methods of the invention described herein may include adjusting a reflective member slidably received within a track of a surgical instrument described herein; securing the reflective member to the track; providing the surgical instrument in an area adjacent to the arthroscope during arthroscopic surgery; and reflecting a line of sight of the arthroscope with the reflective member.

  • a handle 46 At the proximal end 34 is a handle 46.
  • the distal end 36 of the surgical instrument 40 includes a tool 42, which transitions to a widened area 38 where the shaft 44 of the surgical instrument 40 begins.
  • the tool 42 may have an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 44 but is not limited thereto.
  • the tool 42 is shown for illustrative purposes as a probe; however, the tool 42 could be configured to provide any one or more of a plurality of surgical functions, such as ablating, burring, biting, sawing, shaving, suctioning and/or the like.
  • FIG. 3a an example of a reflecting member 10 is shown as mounted onto the track 24, with the length of the reflecting member 10 being parallel to a longitudinal axis of the shaft 44 and the width of the reflecting member 10 being transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shaft 44.
