Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a treatment instrument and screw, and is particularly suitable for use in surgery in which cement is first filled inside the affected bone and then a screw is screwed into the cement from the outside of the bone.
  • the spine consists of stacked vertebral bodies, the vertebral arch that supports and connects them vertically, the pedicle, the upper and lower articular processes, etc.
  • the vertebral body is a cylindrical bone that sandwiches the nucleus pulposus and the annulus fibrosus that surrounds it from above and below, and is supported by two pedicles extending from the vertebral arch.
  • the vertebral arch is connected from above to below by the upper and lower articular processes, supports the vertebral body via the pedicle, and forms the spine.
  • Compression fracture is a disease in which the vertebral body is crushed and damaged by vertical compression.
  • Vertebroplasty is a surgery to reconstruct the crushed vertebral body, and for example, a surgical procedure is used to fill the vertebral body with medical cement.
  • Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure to fix the affected intervertebral space for degenerative spinal diseases, and a surgical procedure to fix the healthy vertebral bodies above and below with instruments for compression fractures.
  • Artificial disc replacement is a surgical procedure in which an artificial disc is inserted between affected vertebrae.
  • spinal fusion screws are screwed into the pedicles of multiple vertebrae, and the heads of the screws are connected to rods that run vertically between each other to fix the affected vertebrae or fractured vertebrae.
  • spinal fusion, artificial disc replacement, or vertebroplasty are appropriately selected or combined for each disease.
  • Patent document 1 discloses a screwdriver for driving a screw from the pedicle to the vertebral body.
  • the screwdriver is composed of a shank for rotating the pedicle screw, a clamping sleeve that supports the shank so that it can rotate around it, and an adapter sleeve that is attached to the clamping sleeve and transmits rotation from the handle.
  • the adapter sleeve is removable, and when removed, the shank and clamping sleeve connected to the pedicle screw remain, which is said to improve the surgeon's view of the treatment site (paragraphs 0014 to 0015).
  • Patent document 2 discloses a medical device for spinal fixation that interconnects spinal rods with the patient's vertebrae. Bone anchors (bone screws) implanted in the vertebrae are connected to rods that run along the spine using various components.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses a medical screw that can be easily removed from the fracture site once it has been screwed in.
  • This medical screw is hollow along the central axis from the head, has a threaded portion on the outside, and further inside, near the hollow tip, has a reverse internal thread that runs in the opposite direction to the threaded portion.
  • a hex wrench Figure 3
  • a removal tool Figure 7
  • Figure 7 Figure 7
  • Vertebroplasty is performed percutaneously, which reduces invasiveness and reduces the burden on patients, thereby contributing to shortening hospital stays and reducing medical and nursing care costs. While percutaneous vertebroplasty has shown good results in many cases, complications such as dislodging of the filled cement have been reported.
  • the inventors have discovered a problem in that there has been insufficient development of medical instruments and screws suitable for combined surgical procedures involving artificial disc replacement, spinal fixation, vertebroplasty, and pedicle plasty for spinal diseases associated with osteoporosis as described above.
  • the screwdriver shown in Patent Document 1 also functions as a cement injection cannula, and is said to be able to inject cement into the pedicle screw via the shank without changing the instrument (paragraphs 0058 to 0068).
  • cement can be injected into the pedicle screw 30 into which the cannula is inserted via the shank 2 without changing the instrument" (paragraph 0068)
  • bone cement is injected into a cannulated bone anchor using an injection assembly shown in FIG. 9A.
  • the cannula of the injection assembly is tightly sealed to the head of the bone anchor by the structure shown in FIG. 9B, thereby preventing the bone cement from leaking into the connection portion (paragraph 0054).
  • this document also does not anticipate screwing the screw into the cement mass after injecting the cement, as it states that "the bone screw 22 is further cannulated and fenestrated (not shown) with openings extending outward from a central hollow passage in the cannulated screw to push fluid out of the screw during insertion or to draw fluid from the side of the screw into the central hollow passage during extraction of material adjacent to the screw" (paragraph 0017).
  • instruments such as drivers used to screw in the screws also function as cannulas to pass the cement through, which means that it is a heavy burden to wash off the cement after use. In many cases, the instruments used to pass the cement are prohibited from being reused and are considered disposable.
  • the screw into which the cement is injected has an opening on the side through which the cement is discharged (see paragraph 0017 of Patent Document 2 cited above).
  • This is another means of filling the area around the screw with cement, instead of screwing the screw into the cement mass after the cement is injected, and many medical devices other than those in Patent Document 2 are designed based on this method.
  • the side hole is small, it needs to be filled at high pressure, and the cement is filled without securing a space for filling it.
  • the present inventor who is an orthopedic surgeon, has also found another problem. Whether the screw is screwed into the cement mass after cement injection or the cement is discharged from the side outlet after the screw is screwed in to reinforce the connection between the screw and the surrounding bone, the possibility of the need to remove the screw in the future is not fully considered. In fact, there have been no cases of symptoms requiring screw removal in a procedure that combines vertebroplasty and pedicle plasty. However, in general, it is possible that the screw may need to be removed if a bacterial infection occurs in the vertebra into which the screw was inserted, or if symptoms of the inserted screw accidentally irritating a nerve are discovered at a later date. In addition, if symptoms worsen at a later date and it becomes necessary to perform multi-level spinal fixation surgery, it is necessary to replace the screw with one that can be connected to a rod for spinal fixation, so it is necessary to consider even the removal of the screw.
  • the screw will be difficult to remove if it is reinforced with cement. If the screw is screwed into a cement block before it has fully hardened, it will be very difficult to remove after it has hardened. Also, if cement is injected through the outlet on the side wall of the screw, the cement remaining in the screw cavity and the cement on the outside will harden while still connected by the outlet, preventing the screw from rotating. This is because to remove the screw, the cement at the outlet must be destroyed by rotating the screw.
  • none of the current medical devices are fully suitable for the above-mentioned procedures that combine vertebroplasty and pedicle plasty, as well as spinal fixation for degenerative spinal disease and fractures due to osteoporosis, vertebral reinforcement surgery during artificial disc replacement, vertebroplasty, and pedicle plasty.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a treatment instrument and screw suitable for spinal fixation surgery for osteoporotic spinal degenerative disease and fractures, vertebral reinforcement surgery during artificial disc replacement surgery, vertebroplasty, and pedicle plasty.
  • a further object of the present invention is to minimize the number of instruments used for cement filling and to reduce the burden of cleaning or disposable items to avoid cleaning, and a further object is to facilitate removal of the screw.

  • the screw has threads on its outer wall (periphery) that can tap into bone, and a through hole that allows the inner tube to pass from the head to the tip along the central axis.
  • the driver is configured so that it can be fitted into the head of the screw by moving it along the central axis, and when fitted, it can connect with the screw, and can transmit a rotational force around the central axis to the screw.
  • the inner cylinder has a tip end that is inserted from the distal end of the driver through the through hole of the driver and the screw when the screw and the driver are connected, and protrudes proximally from the tip of the screw.

  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are explanatory diagrams that show a typical procedure for treatment using the treatment device 100 of the present embodiment 1, with Fig. 4 showing the first half of the procedure and Fig. 5 showing the second half.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show vertebroplasty, but the method of inserting into the vertebral body is the same as in spinal fixation and vertebral body reinforcement surgery in artificial disc replacement (not shown).
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show a typical cross section of the affected area of a patient, from the outside of the skin 4 through the pedicle 2 to the vertebral body 3, with the upper side of the page being the distal side and the lower side being the proximal side.
  • Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 show a typical cross section of the affected area of a patient, from the outside of the skin 4 through the pedicle 2 to the vertebral body 3, with the upper side of the page being the distal side and the lower side being the proximal side.
  • the scale of the central axis direction (vertical direction on the page) is compressed, and the direction along the patient's body surface (horizontal direction on the page) is emphasized.
  • the pedicle 2 is located on both the left and right sides of the vertebral body 3, so the same treatment is performed on one vertebral body 3 from both the left and right, but Figs. 4 and 5 show only one of them.
  • the cannula 80 is introduced into the vertebral body 3 through the through-holes of the driver 20 and the screw 10, and the balloon 81 is inflated inside the vertebral body 3.
  • the balloon 81 is inflated by injecting a contrast agent through the cannula 80 and applying pressure.
  • the purpose is to return the vertebral body 3 to its original size when the vertebral body 3 has a compression fracture due to osteoporosis or the like.
  • the volume of cement that can be filled at one time using the cement filling tube 70 is approximately 1.5 ml. Therefore, for example, in the case of vertebroplasty for a fracture, the cement is repeatedly pumped out about three times from each side, a total of six to seven times, to fill about 10 ml of cement 1 into the vertebral body 3.
  • the amount of cement filled is adjusted according to the condition of the bone.
  • the treatment device 100 of the present invention allows the screw 10 to be screwed into the filled cement 1 immediately after the cement 1 is filled, making it suitable for procedures such as spinal fixation surgery, vertebral reinforcement surgery in artificial disc replacement surgery, vertebroplasty, and pedicle formation.
  • the filled cement 1 is soft enough that the screw 10 can be screwed in without tapping using the threads 34 on the tip 32 of the inner tube 30. Similarly, the screw 10 can be screwed into the pedicle 2 without tapping using the tip 32 of the inner tube 30.
  • the treatment instrument 100 of the present invention is also suitable for removing the screw 10. After incising the affected area and drilling a hole up to the head of the screw, the guide pin 60 is inserted into the screw 10, and the driver 20 is introduced along it up to the screw 10, and the driver 20 can be connected simply by pushing in the tip. The screw 10 can then be pulled out by rotating the driver 20.
  • the screw 10 may adopt a configuration of this embodiment 2 or the following embodiment 3, or a combination of both.
  • FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-sectional structure of a screw 10 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the outer diameter of the thread 13 of the screw 10 according to the second embodiment is inclined so that it is larger on the distal side ( dd ) and smaller on the proximal side ( dp ).
  • the shaft diameter ( ds ) is 5.0 mm
  • the outer diameter dd on the distal side is 6.5 mm
  • the outer diameter dp on the proximal side is 5.2 mm.
  • Figures 8 and 9 are explanatory diagrams showing schematic cross-sections of examples of the threads 13 of the screw of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-sectional structure in order to show an example of the configuration of the screw 10 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
  • the number of threads of the thread 13 of the screw 10 according to the third embodiment is configured to be greater on the distal side and less on the proximal side.
  • the thread refers to a thread
  • the number of threads is a numerical value representing the number of threads of the same screw groove as one.
  • the distal region T3 is triple threaded
  • the intermediate region T2 is double threaded
  • the proximal region T1 is single threaded.
  • the thread (thread) 13-1 in the region T1 is tapped to form a thread groove, and the same thread (thread) 13-1 in the regions T2 and T3 is threaded along the thread groove.
  • the second thread (thread) 13-2 is not in the region T1, so the thread (thread) 13-2 in the region T2 is tapped to form a thread groove, and the thread (thread) 13-2 in the region T3 is threaded along the thread groove.
  • the third thread (thread) 13-3 does not exist in the regions T1 and T2, so the thread (thread) 13-3 in the region T3 is tapped to form a screw groove and is screwed in.
  • a single thread is also formed in the tip portion 32 of the inner cylinder 20, which is an extension of the single thread in the region T1.
  • the distal region T3 may have six threads
  • the intermediate region T2 may have four threads
  • the proximal region T1 may have a single thread.
  • a tapered structure may also be adopted in which the outer diameter of the thread 13 of the screw 10 is larger on the distal side (d d ) and smaller on the proximal side (d p ).
  • the thread angle ⁇ may be blunted to approximately 90° or more, and the edges may be smoothly chamfered.
  • the present invention relates to a medical device, and can be particularly well suited for use in surgery in which cement is first filled inside the affected bone, and then a screw is screwed into the cement from the outside of the bone.
