Abstract

The endoprosthesis of an intervertebral disk comprises a bent plate with U- or V-shaped cross section and tabs for fixing screws.

Description

Technisches Problem der ErfindungTechnical problem of the invention

Unter dem Aspekt der steigenden Lebenserwartung der Bevölkerung nimmt insbesondere die Zahl von degenerativen Erkrankungen der Wirbelsäule zu. Im Vordergrund stehen hierbei Abnutzungserscheinungen der Bandscheiben mit erheblichen Therapiekosten. Neben der operativen Stabilisierung nach vorheriger Bandscheibenentfernung und Ersatz durch einen rigiden knöchernen und/oder Metall-Spacer (knöcherne Fusion) wurden in der zurückliegenden Zeit verschiedene Techniken zum Bandscheibenersatz vorgestellt. Der Nachteil der aktuell verfügbaren Bandscheibenprothesen bzw. Kunststoffkissen/Kunststoffspacer ergibt sich aus dem komplizierten Aufbau und der unzureichenden Fixierbarkeit im Bandscheibenzwischenraum nach Entfernung der krankhaft veränderten Bandscheibe. In der Grenzschicht zum Knochen kann es auf Grund der dynamischen Fixierung des Implantates mit permanenten Druck und Scherkräften zu keiner Osteo- Integration kommen, so dass häufig Dislokationen mit Funktionsverlust der Prothesen auftreten. Andererseits erfordert die Implantationstechnik einiger Zwischenwirbelscheibenprothesen die Eröffnung des subkortikalen Knochens, so dass es zu einer Freisetzung osteogener Faktoren und nachfolgend zur knöchernen Fusion des Bandscheibenfaches kommt. Konstruktiv bedingt sind die meisten Zwischenwirbelscheiben -Endoprothesen nur im frühen Stadium einer krankhaften Veränderungen an der Bandscheibe verwendbar, da mit Fortschreiten der Erkrankung die Begleitstrukturen (Wirbelgelenke, Bänder, Muskulatur) nachhaltig geschädigt werden. Taking into account the increasing life expectancy of the population in particular the number of degenerative diseases of the spine. In the foreground here signs of wear of the intervertebral discs with considerable therapy costs. Next surgical stabilization after previous intervertebral disc removal and replacement with a rigid bony and / or metal spacer (bony fusion) have been used in the Different techniques for intervertebral disc replacement were presented in the past. The Disadvantage of the currently available intervertebral disc prostheses or Plastic pillow / plastic spacer results from the complicated structure and the inadequate Fixability in the intervertebral disc space after removal of the pathologically changed Intervertebral disc. In the boundary layer to the bone, due to the dynamic Fixation of the implant with permanent pressure and shear forces to no osteo- Integration occur, so that often dislocations with loss of function of the prostheses occur. On the other hand, the implantation technique requires some Intervertebral disc prostheses open the subcortical bone, causing it to a release of osteogenic factors and subsequently to the bony fusion of the Intervertebral disc compartment is coming. Most intervertebral discs are of structural design - Endoprostheses only in the early stages of pathological changes to the Intervertebral disc can be used as the accompanying structures as the disease progresses (Vertebral joints, ligaments, muscles) are sustainably damaged.

Lösung des Problemsthe solution of the problem

Durch eine sichere Verankerung der ventral eingebrachten Endoprothese (Spacer) unter Verwendung von Pedikelschrauben, ergeben sich mehrere Vorteile. Pedikelschrauben als Lastträger, stellen ein etabliertes Verfahren in der "dorsalen" Wirbelsäulenchirurgie dar. Sie dienten bisher der hinteren Verankerung von dynamischen und fixierenden Vorrichtungen an der Wirbelsäule. Durch leichte Modifikation können diese als stabiler Träger für Bandscheibenimplantate fungieren. Die Probleme ventraler Implantate, die sich nach dem aktuellen Stand der Technik aus der Grenzzonenreaktion (Implantat/Knochen) ergeben lassen sich weitestgehend eliminieren, da die Krafteinleitung nicht ausschließlich über das Bandscheibenfach erfolgt. Resultierend aus dieser stabilen Befestigungsmöglichkeit kann das Design der Bandscheibenprothese dahingehend verändert werden, dass einfachere konstruktive Lösungen möglich werden. So ist neben Fixation von beliebigen Prothesendesigns, die sichere Befestigung der "Dynamischen Federplatte" möglich. Bei ausreichender Stabilität kann auf eine zusätzliche Fixation im Grund- und Deckplattenbereich mit Eröffnung des spongiösen Knochens erzichtet werden. Durch spezielle mechanische Eigenschaften ist die anteilige Wiederherstellung des Banscheibenzwischenraumes mit konsekutiver Entlastung des Facettengelenke möglich. Über die verwendeten Pedikelschrauben kann bei Bedarf eine zusätzliche dynamische Stabilisierung von hinten (Kunststoffkissen mit Zuggurtung) und bei Fortschreiten der krankhaften Veränderungen im Intervall eine stabile Fusion in herkömmlicher Weise ohne die Notwendigkeit eines Schraubenwechsels erfolgen. By securely anchoring the ventrally inserted endoprosthesis (spacer) under Using pedicle screws gives several advantages. Pedicle screws as Load carriers represent an established procedure in "dorsal" spine surgery. You have been used to anchor dynamic and fixing devices at the rear on the spine. By slight modification, they can be used as stable supports for Intervertebral disc implants act. The problems of ventral implants that arise after the state of the art from the border zone reaction (implant / bone) can be largely eliminated, since the force is not transmitted exclusively through the Intervertebral disc compartment. As a result of this stable mounting option the design of the intervertebral disc prosthesis can be changed so that simpler constructive solutions become possible. So besides fixation of any Prosthesis designs, the secure attachment of the "dynamic spring plate" possible. at sufficient stability can be due to an additional fixation in the base and Cover plate area with opening of the cancellous bone can be told. By special mechanical properties is the proportional recovery of the Space between the slices with consecutive relief of the facet joints possible. If necessary, an additional dynamic one can be used with the pedicle screws Stabilization from behind (plastic cushions with tension straps) and as the pathological changes in the interval without a stable fusion in a conventional manner the need to change screws.
