また、本発明の骨接合具に関連して、前記欠損部は、2個以上の単位ネジ山に亘って延在していないことを特徴とする。
また、本発明の骨接合具は、軸孔を有する軸部と、前記軸部の先端に設けられたネジ山とを有し、髄内釘に挿通される骨接合具であって、前記軸部は、前記軸部の長さ方向と略平行な方向に伸びる細長い形状の孔部を有し、前記孔部は、前記軸部の表面から前記軸孔まで貫通することを特徴とする。
また、本発明の骨接合部材セットは、軸部と、該軸部の周面に螺旋状に周回するネジ山と、該軸部の内部を軸方向に延びる軸孔とを有し、髄内釘に挿通される骨接合部材と、骨内注入剤を骨内に注入可能な注入具と、を備えた骨接合部材セットであって、前記骨接合部材は、前記ネジ山の360°の一周分を単位ネジ山としたときに、該単位ネジ山を挟んで隣り合う一対のネジ溝の内部空間が臨むように該単位ネジ山に設けられた欠損部と、前記欠損部に連通するように前記軸部に設けられた孔部と、骨接合部材側位置決め部と、を有し、前記注入具は、前記骨接合部材の前記軸孔に挿入可能な注入ノズルと、前記注入ノズルの先端部に設けられた一つの注入口と、注入具側位置決め部と、を有し、前記骨接合部材側位置決め部と前記注入具側位置決め部とにより前記注入具を前記骨接合部材に対して位置決めすることで前記注入口を前記孔部に対応させることが可能である、ことを特徴とする。
まず、図1を参照して本発明の第一実施形態の骨接合具100の全体構成について説明する。図1は、骨接合具100によって患者の大腿骨500の骨折部位を固定した状態を示す概要図であり、図1(A)が一部を透視して示す外観の斜視図であり、図1(B)が骨接合具100の一部を示す縦断面図である。なお、以下の説明では、特に断らない限り、骨接合具100で患者の大腿骨500の骨折部位を固定した状態を基本として方向を特定する。すなわち、患者の腹側を「前」、背側を「後」といい、患者の頭側を「上」、患者の脚側を「下」という。図1は一例として左足の大腿骨500を示す。
図1(B)を参照し、髄内釘101について説明する。なお、図1(B)では髄内釘補助具10の図示を省略している。
図1~図7を参照して、本実施形態に係る骨接合部材(ラグスクリュー)201について詳細に説明する。図1(B)に示すように、骨接合部材(ラグスクリュー)201は、その全体形状が軸状をなす棒状部材であり、髄内釘101の横孔104に挿通される。すなわち、骨接合部材201の軸AX2方向は、横孔104の軸AX2方向(横孔軸方向)と一致する。
図1及び図2を参照して、軸部211について以下説明する。図1(B)に示すように、軸部211は、横孔104に挿通される棒状の筒状体である。そして、図2(A)に示すように、本実施形態において軸部211は、軸AX2方向における区間毎に外径(最大外径)又は、断面積が異なり、軸部211の基端側区間S1に大径部212、軸部211の中間区間S2にテーパー部213、軸部211の先端側区間S3に小径部214、を有する。大径部212、テーパー部213、小径部214は、軸AX2方向に沿って順に連続して繋がる。
図2~図4を参照して、ネジ係合部221について以下説明する。図2(A)及び図3(A)、(B)に示すように、ネジ係合部221は、軸部211の軸回りの外周面を周回する複数の単位ネジ山222を、螺旋状に連なる状態で有している。結果、軸AX2方向において隣接する単位ネジ山222同士の間には、同じ螺旋状のネジ溝224が形成される。なお、単位ネジ山222とは、図2(B)に示す軸AX2方向に沿って切った断面のように、軸部211の表面211Aから軸部211の径方向Rの外側に向かって、幅が徐々に小さくなるテーパー状(鋸刃状)のネジ山が、軸部211の周面を螺旋状に一周(360度で旋回)したものである。図2(A)に示すように、本実施形態において単位ネジ山222は9個設けられる。このうち、軸部211の先端側から数えて4番目の単位ネジ山(以下、特定単位ネジ山と呼ぶ。)222Aは、欠損部223を有する。なお、特定単位ネジ山は、どの単位ネジ山222であってもよい。つまり、先端から数えてn番目の単位ねじ山を特定単位ねじ山と定義できる。
図4及び図5を参照して、欠損部223と孔部215の位置関係について説明する。図5(A)に示すように、本実施形態における孔部215は、一対のネジ溝224A,224B、及び欠損部223を跨る長孔領域228を含み、ここでは孔部215が、軸AX2方向が長手方向となる長孔そのものとなる。孔部215が長孔であることにより、少ない穴数・配置でも軸方向へ速やかに骨内注入剤を挿入でき、かつラグスクリューの強度を維持できる。図5(A)に示すように、軸部211の径方向R(紙面に垂直な方向)から欠損部223と孔部215を平面視した場合において、欠損部223に対応する領域を欠損部専有領域R1と定義し、ネジ溝224Aの欠損部専有領域R1に隣接する領域を第一ネジ溝領域R2と定義し、ネジ溝224Bの欠損部専有領域R1に隣接する領域を第二ネジ溝領域R3と定義する。この際、長孔領域228は、第一ネジ溝領域R2、欠損部専有領域R1、第二ネジ溝領域R3を跨る。なお、欠損部専有領域R1は、上記で説明した第一欠損領域B1~第四欠損領域B4のいずれか、又はその組み合わせのいずれかを含む。また、第一ネジ溝領域R2、第二ネジ溝領域R3は、軸AX2方向において欠損部専有領域R1の近傍に配置される。また、長孔領域228の延在方向(長手方向)は、軸AX2方向と略平行となることが好ましい。
図6及び図7を参照して、軸部211における欠損部223及び孔部215の配置態様について説明する。図6(A)は、骨接合部材(ラグスクリュー)201の小径部214に設けられたネジ係合部221の拡大図である。図6(B)は、図6(A)のF-F矢視断面図である。
本実施形態の骨接合具100は、例えば大腿骨の骨頭近傍における骨折(大腿骨頚部骨折)の治療に適用される。以下、骨接合具100を用いた手術方法(手技)の一例についてこれまでの各図、図8及び図9を参照して以下説明する。
比較事例となる図14(A),(B)に示すように、骨内注入剤が、ネジ溝224に設けられた孔部215を通じて押し出され、単位ネジ山222を横切ることはなく、ネジ溝224に沿って充填されて、骨頭との間で骨接合部材201を拘束する場合を検討する。この場合、図14(C),(D)に示すように、何らかの原因があって、骨内注入剤とネジ溝224の間や、骨内注入剤と軸部211の間に隙間領域900が生じると、骨接合部材201に対する拘束力が弱まる。結果、患者の動作に起因して骨接合部材201に振動が加わると、骨接合部材201が骨頭502に対して相対回転して、骨折部の固定力が弱まる。
次に、図16を参照して、本発明の第二実施形態の骨接合具について説明する。本実施形態における骨接合具は、第一実施形態のものとは軸部211における欠損部223及び孔部215の配置態様が異なる。
次に、図17を参照して、本発明の第三実施形態の骨接合具について説明する。本実施形態における骨接合具は、第一実施形態のものとは欠損部223及び孔部215の態様が異なる。本実施形態において、複数の孔部215及び欠損部223は、図17(A)に示すように、互いに周方向に同位相となる位置、且つ、軸AX2方向に離れた位置に配置される。直列に並ぶ2つの孔部215及び対応する欠損部223が1組となって、軸部211の周方向に間隔を空けて設けられる。
次に、図18を参照して、本発明の第四実施形態の骨接合具について説明する。本実施形態における骨接合具では、軸AX2方向に隣接する複数の(ここでは3つ)特定単位ネジ山222A,222C,222Dのそれぞれに対して、孔部215及び欠損部223が形成される。特定単位ネジ山222(222C,222D)に形成される欠損部223は、中間の特定単位ネジ山222Aの欠損部223と対向する領域から周回方向にずれた領域に位置する。
