Description
Elbow Prosthesis System to Be Used for Bone Deformations at Humerus and
Ulna
Technical Field
The invention relates to elbow prosthesis systems used to treat the deformation of the humerus and ulna bones in the elbow region.
Prior Art The primary function of the structure known as the olecranon in the elbow joint is to prevent displacement of the ulna relative to the humerus. When applying elbow prosthesis in current systems, the olecranon region in the ulna is not protected.
Elbow prostheses in systems in the prior art have a flat structure. So, it is not anatomical. The fact that the elbow prostheses in prior art are not in an anatomical structure reduces bone adhesion and causes stress.
Joint movements are not ideal in prosthesis systems in the prior art. In other words, joint movement angles may be excessive or insufficient. In addition, in existing systems, the ulna system and the humeral trunk part are not assembled to each other and prepared. This causes too many parts to be assembled during surgery. In the systems of the prior art, there are no tissue holes on the trunk that allow the tendons to be attached. The fact that the humeral trunk is not fully anatomical reduces patient comfort.
Adjustable lateral jointed condyle is mentioned in the European patent document with the code EP2967881 in the prior art. Said condyle is used in an elbow
prosthesis. The elbow prosthesis includes a first stem component for attachment to one of a humerus and an ulna, a second stem component for attachment from said humerus and said ulna to the other, a joint disposed between and connecting said first stem component and said second stem component to allow respective rotation about a first axis between said first stem component and said second stem component; and a first condyle component rotatable about said first axis with one of said first stem component and said second stem component; a second condyle component movable relative to said first condyle component about a second axis to be configured to engage said first condyle component in first and second orientations. In the document in question, too many parts are used during surgery. In addition, the bone tissue compatibility of the mentioned prosthesis is insufficient. Since there will be frictions between the moving parts, the main elements of the system are damaged.
Purpose of the Invention
The purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system that can be used in bone deformations at humerus and ulna with increased yield, elongation, and strength values.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system in which excessive and/or insufficient joint movements are eliminated.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system in which bone adhesion is increased.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system in which stress formation is reduced.
Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the assembly of too many parts during the surgery.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system with increased patient comfort.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system with increased biocompatibility.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system with increased bone tissue compatibility. Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system that prevents soft tissue irritation.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis system that can work in accordance with existing tumour prostheses.
Another purpose of the invention is to obtain an elbow prosthesis that allows incisions from the anterior-internal region to give confidence to the physicians during the surgery.
Elbow prosthesis developed to achieve the mentioned purposes includes an ulna system (1), a wear plate (2), a stud (3), bushings (4), an elbow prosthesis trunk (5), tissue holes (6), bolts (7), an elbow prosthesis cap (8), a support nail (9) and connector regi on ( 10) .

The invention relates to elbow prosthesis systems used to treat the bone deformations at humerus and ulna in the elbow region. The elbow prosthesis subject to the the invention includes an ulna system (1), a wear plate (2), a stud (3), bushings (4), an elbow prosthesis trunk (5), tissue holes (6), bolts (7), an elbow prosthesis cap (8), a support nail (9) and connector region (10).
The elbow prosthesis subject to the invention consists of Ti6A14V ELI (Grade 23) material. The yield and percent elongation values of it are 1.5 times higher than the Ti4 material used in the prostheses of the prior art. Considering the yield and percent elongation values, more strength is provided with smaller-diameter implants.
The elbow prosthesis subject to the invention is placed at an angle and so the olecranon structure, which prevents the displacement of the ulna relative to the humerus, is preserved without cutting. The elbow prosthesis is designed in an anatomically appropriate manner. With the anatomical design, patient comfort and bone adhesion are increased, while stress formation is reduced. In addition, the design provides an ideal (optimum) joint motion angle of 182°. Thus, conditions such as excessive and/or insufficient joint movements are prevented. In alternative
embodiments of the invention, the angle of movement can vary between lower and upper values of 175° and 185°.
The ulna system (1) and the humerus trunk part, that is, the elbow prosthesis trunk
(5), are assembled to each other before the surgery and sent as assembled. Thus, assembly of too many parts during the operation is prevented. There are tissue holes
(6) on the elbow prosthesis trunk (5) that allow the tendons to be attached.
The bushings (4) and wear plate (2) used in the elbow prosthesis subject to the invention are composed of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) material. The remaining parts are made of Ti6A14V ELI (Grade 23).
The elbow prosthesis subject to the invention works in accordance with existing tumour prostheses. Thus, when more resections occur, that is, as the bone tissue deformation grows, elbow prostheses can be applied.
In the ulna system (1), bone tissue compatibility is increased by applying thick sandblasting and anodic oxidation processes to the surface of the support nail (9) that remains in the bone. However, soft tissue irritation was prevented by applying fine sandblasting and anodic oxidation processes to the remaining surfaces of the elbow prosthesis.
The elbow prosthesis, which is used to treat the bone deformations at humerus and ulna in the elbow region, is applied according to the following workflow:
- The drill is conveniently placed in the medullary space of the proximal ulna.
- The medullary space of the proximal ulna is prepared with an ulnar brooch.
- The right and left sides of the implant are checked. It is then implanted.
- The length of the distal humerus segment to be reconstructed is measured radiologically. Tumour resection is performed at the predetermined level.
- With a reamer, the humerus medullary cavity is brought to the desired diameter. The brooch is left inside the medullary cavity. The extension piece and the humeral trunk are attached to the brooch. The ulna trunk and trial
distal humerus components are temporarily ligated to assess limb length and rotation.
- After the brooch and trial components are removed, the appropriately sized humeral stem is implanted. The extension piece and the distal humeral trunk are attached. The components are then locked with axial transfer bolt.
After the distal humeral components are fixed, the distal humeral pad is firmly placed in its socket in the distal humeral body. The humeral centring brooch is placed on the ulna trunk bed from both sides.
The distal humerus and ulna components are brought together. Humerus and ulna are aligned.
Humerus axel on the right side is inserted and tightened counter-clockwise with a T-handle screwdriver.
The left humerus axel locking screw is inserted from the side and the humerus axel is tightened clockwise.
Thus, the assembly of the elbow prosthesis is completed.
The elbow prosthesis cap (8) in the elbow prosthesis is connected to the connector region (10) with bolts (7). In addition, the studs (3) and bushings (4) are connecting parts, connecting the ulna system (1) and the elbow prosthesis trunk (5) to each other. The ulna system (1) and the elbow prosthesis trunk (5) work in a frictional manner. Because of the mentioned friction, a wear plate (2) is placed between the ulna system (1) and the elbow prosthesis trunk (5) to minimize the friction. Wear plate (2) prevents the ulna system (1) and the elbow prosthesis trunk (5) from rubbing against each other. In this way, the main components of the system work smoothly, and their wear is prevented.
