Abstract
An apparatus, system and method are presented by which certain surgical procedures normally done by powered surgical handpieces may be accomplished by powered arthroscopic handpieces, thus obviating the need to use powered surgical handpieces.
Description
- The invention relates to powered handpieces and attachments used to perform surgical procedures.
- Surgical procedures are often performed using instruments attached to handpieces which are powered either electrically or pneumatically. Powered handpieces generally fall into two groups: powered surgical handpieces and powered arthroscopic/endoscopic handpieces.
- Powered surgical handpieces are generally used in open surgical procedures and have bodies in the form of pistol grip or pencil grip type structures. These bodies move a variety of instruments (e.g. saws, drills, reamers, pins, wires, etc.) attachable to the bodies in order to treat tissue during a surgical procedure. Each of the instruments has a distal working end which actually performs a function (e.g. sawing, drilling, reaming, etc.) and a proximal connecting end which enables the instrument to be attached to the handpiece providing the motive force. The movements are generally in the form of oscillating, rotating, or reciprocating movements of the instruments. A variety of instruments may be directly secured to the drive motor in the body of the handpiece or a common handpiece may have a variety of attachments interposed between the body and the instrument such that the same body may, by simply changing the attachments, create a variety of motions to the instrument (e.g. oscillation, rotation, reciprocation).
- One type of powered surgical handpiece includes pin drivers and wire drivers. This type of handpiece includes a pistol grip and has a cannulated shaft transversely attached to the pistol grip. The shaft has a bore extending completely through it and is adapted to receive and grip an elongated pin or wire. The bore is designed to coaxially receive a range of diameters of pins/wires. A selectively actuated chuck grips the pin/wire which can then be rotated about the axis of the bore to drive the distal tip of the pin/wire into a bore. The grip can be released to enable the handpiece to be either removed or repositioned to drive the pin/wire further into the bone.
- Powered arthroscopic/endoscopic handpieces are generally used in closed surgical procedures and have bodies in the form of pencil type structures which, in the current state of the art, are generally electrically powered to operate shaver blades or burs secured to the distal end of the handpiece. These handpieces will be referred to as arthroscopic handpieces throughout this specification. The term “arthroscopic” as used herein is intended to broadly include endoscopic devices and procedures in general. Shaver blades generally include a stationary tubular outer member having a cutting window situated at its distal end and a rotatable tubular inner member also having a cutting window situated at its distal end. The inner and outer members are sometimes referred to individually and collectively as shaver blades. Either of the cutting windows may be formed in a variety of shapes and may or may not include teeth depending upon the degree of aggressiveness desired and the particular surgical procedure for which the shaver blade is designed. Rotation of the inner member within the outer member causes the resection of any tissue which penetrates into the lumen of the inner member as it rotates. The lumen of the inner member is at its proximal end attached to a vacuum in order to aspirate the resected tissue as well as irrigation fluid and other tissue which may be at the surgical site. Powered arthroscopic handpieces are generally used during arthroscopic procedures in which the surgical site is commonly inflated with fluid in order to provide distention and visibility to imaging instruments also at the surgical site. It will also be understood that an arthroscopic handpiece, modified in accordance with the teachings of this invention, could also be used in open surgical procedures.
- It is often necessary to use a powered surgical handpiece in the same procedure as an arthroscopic handpiece, thus requiring two separate powered handpieces to be prepared and presented for use.
- The subject invention relates to an apparatus, system and method by which certain surgical procedures normally done by powered surgical handpieces may be accomplished by powered arthroscopic handpieces, thus obviating the need to use powered surgical handpieces.
- The subject invention also relates to an apparatus, system and method by which pin and/or wire driving surgical procedures normally done by dedicated powered surgical handpieces may be accomplished by powered arthroscopic shaver handpieces, thus obviating the need to use powered surgical handpieces.
- The subject invention also relates to an apparatus, system and method by which a pencil grip type arthroscopic handpiece may be easily converted to a pistol grip type handpiece.
- Various examples of the present invention will be discussed with reference to the appended drawings. These drawings depict only illustrative examples of the invention and are not to be considered limiting of its scope.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an arthroscopic shaver handpiece and modular attachments according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side elevation view of one of the attachments ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded front elevation view of the handpiece ofFIG. 1 assembled with one of the attachments ofFIG. 1 and shown with additional modular attachments; -
FIGS. 4 and 5 are perspective views of additional modular attachments for use with the handpiece ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view taken along line 6-6 ofFIG. 5 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 , a conventionalarthroscopic handpiece 10 includes abody 12, adistal end 14, aproximal end 16, and acollet 18. Thehandpiece 10 also includes at its proximal end 14 apower cord 20 and avacuum tube 22. Thevacuum tube 22 is joined by an internal channel (not shown) to thedistal end 14 of thehandpiece 10. Avacuum control lever 24 controls the degree of vacuum applied through the internal channel to thedistal end 14. Thearthroscopic handpiece 10 includes a motor and drive shaft (not shown), which motor is operated by a control system (not shown) and controlled bycontrol buttons axis 30. Modular attachments are inserted through anopening 32 in thecollet 18 to engage the drive shaft. By rotating thecollet 18, opposedkeyways 34 are aligned with internal grooves (not shown) to receive or release corresponding keys formed on the modular attachments. When fully inserted into thecollet 18, the modular attachments will engage the motor drive shaft and will be retained by rotation of thecollet 18 about theaxis 30 to trap the keys behind thefront flange 36 of thecollet 18. - An
arthroscopic shaver blade 50 includes a stationary tubularouter member 52 having acutting window 54 situated at itsdistal end 56 and a rotatable tubularinner member 58 also having acutting window 60 situated at its distal end. The illustrativeinner member 58 includesoptional teeth 62 for aiding in gripping and cutting tissue at a surgical site. Rotation of theinner member 58 within theouter member 52 resects tissue which penetrates into thelumen 64 of theinner member 58 as it rotates. The inner andouter members housing 66 which is mountable to thearthroscopic handpiece 10. Thehousing 66 is sized to fit through the opening 32 in thecollet 18 of thehandpiece 10 and includes a radially extending key 68 engageable with thekeyways 34 of thecollet 18. Theinner member 58 is connected to adrive shaft 70 that extends through thehousing 66 to engage the motor drive shaft of thearthroscopic handpiece 10. Thelumen 64 of theinner member 58 communicates with theproximal end 72 of the housing which in turn communicates with the inner channel andvacuum tube 22 of thearthroscopic handpiece 10. Tissue resected by theshaver blade 50 and irrigation fluid are aspirated from the surgical site through thevacuum tube 22. Thearthroscopic handpiece 10 may similarly be used with a bur (not shown) with an annular vacuum channel as is known in the art. - A variety of modular attachments may be substituted for the
shaver blade 50 to convert the arthroscopic handpiece to surgical handpiece applications. For example,FIG. 1 illustrates a Jacobschuck assembly 80 which serves as a drive shaft extension and adapter able to receive in its distal end a variety of instruments which would not otherwise be able to be operated by thearthroscopic handpiece 10. The assembly includes ahousing 82 having aproximal end 84 and adistal end 86 to which is secured adistal chuck 88. Thehousing 82 contains adrivable shaft 90 and other components adapted to operatively connect theshaft 90 to thedistal chuck 88. Thedrivable shaft 90 has aproximal end 92 configured to be operatively engaged with the motor drive shaft in thearthroscopic handpiece 10. In the preferred embodiment, the motor drive shaft is rotatable about theaxis 30 of thehandpiece 10. The diameter of thehousing 82 is sized to be received within the opening 32 of thecollet 18. The exterior surface ofhousing 82 is provided with a radially extending key 94 adapted to be received through either of the diametrically opposedkeyways 34 in thecollet 18. When so assembled, theJacobs chuck assembly 80 may be operated in a conventional manner to attach selected instruments such as drill bits, reamers, drivers, etc. so that thehandpiece 10 may be used like a drill rather than a shaver. In addition to the convenience of being able to drive powered surgical instruments with an arthroscopic handpiece, for certain procedures, the ability to use a pencil type grip may enhance the ergonomics over the use of a pistol grip powered surgical handpiece. -
FIG. 1 also illustrates atransverse attachment 100 for thearthroscopic handpiece 10. Thetransverse attachment 100 includes alongitudinal housing 102 and atransverse body 104, having aproximal end 106 and adistal end 108 to which may be secured another attachment or instrument. Thetransverse attachment 100 contains adrivable shaft 110 and other drive transmission components adapted to operatively and transversely connect it and thearthroscopic handpiece 10 to an attachment or instrument. Thedrivable shaft 110 has aproximal end 112 configured to be operatively engaged with the motor drive shaft in thearthroscopic handpiece 10. As with the other illustrative attachments ofFIG. 1 , the longitudinal housing is adapted to be received within thecircular opening 32 of thecollet 18 and includes aradially extending key 114. Thetransverse attachment 100 includes acollet 115 which may be engaged directly with an instrument (such as a drill bit, reamer, saw blade, etc.) to drive the instrument or which may be engaged with another, intermediate attachment (such as a chuck, adapter, wire driver, reciprocating saw drive, oscillating saw drive, etc.) that is engaged with an instrument. - The
transverse attachment 100 may be cannulated to accommodate a wire or pin driver and to permit use with cannulated drill bits that are driven over a guide wire. As seen inFIG. 2 , thetransverse attachment 100 may include athroughbore 116 extending from theproximal end 106 to thedistal end 108 and through thecollet 115 for receiving pins, wires, guide wires, etc. -
FIG. 3 , illustrates alternative modular attachments for use with thetransverse attachment 100 including awire driver 120 and arotary instrument driver 140. Thewire driver 120 includes ahousing 122 anddrivable shaft 126 compatible with thecollet 115 of thetransverse attachment 100. In the illustrative wire driver, thehousing 122 is locked in thecollet 115 by way of alocking detent 124 that receives a ball (not shown) in thecollet 115. Thewire driver 120 further includes an internal wire collet (not shown) mounted in thewire driver body 127. The wire collet communicates with thedistal end 128 and is connected to thedrivable shaft 126. A longitudinal through bore extends from thedistal end 128 to theproximal end 130 through the wire collet and thedrivable shaft 126 to communicate with the throughbore 116 of the transverse attachment. Anactuator 132 is operably connected to the wire chuck and pivots relative to thewire driver body 127. When thewire driver 120 is mounted in thetransverse attachment 100, theactuator 132 is positioned adjacent thebody 12 of thearthroscopic handpiece 10 convenient to thecontrol buttons actuator 132 may be operated to cause the wire chuck to selectively grip and release a wire. When the wire is gripped, theshaft 126 can be driven to rotate the wire about the axis of thebore 116 to drive the distal tip of the wire into a surgical site. When the wire is released, thewire driver 120 can be removed or repositioned to drive the wire further into the surgical site. - The
rotary instrument driver 140 ofFIG. 3 includes ahousing 142 and driveshaft 144 compatible with thecollet 115 of thetransverse attachment 100. Thedriver shaft 144 connects to adistal drive collet 146 adapted to receive an instrument normally associated with powered surgical handpieces. Thus, therotary instrument driver 140 converts thecollet 115 of thetransverse attachment 100 to adifferent style collet 146 to adapt the transverse attachment for use with different instruments. - While the
transverse attachment 100 has been illustrated in use with two different attachments, any number of attachments and instruments may be used with thetransverse attachment 100 including, by way of example only, drill attachments, saw attachments, wire and pin driver attachments, etc. - The
transverse attachment 100 also serves to convert the pencil grip stylearthroscopic handpiece 10 into a pistol grip style handpiece. For certain procedures the use of a pistol grip style handpiece may have enhanced ergonomics over the use of a pencil grip powered handpiece. For example, for drilling pilot holes, it may be desirable to engage thetransverse attachment 100 with thearthroscopic handpiece 10 to convert it to a pistol grip style and then engage a drill bit drive attachment with the transverse attachment. -
FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary sagittal sawattachment 150 adapted to engage thearthroscopic handpiece 10 and convert it from shaver operation to sagittal saw operation. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an exemplary rotaryinstrument driver attachment 160 with aquick connect chuck 162 for rapidly connecting and disconnecting various rotary instruments generally associated with powered surgical handpieces. -
FIG. 6 illustrates the inner mechanism of theattachment 160. The attachment includes ahousing 164,drivable shaft 166, and key 168 similar to the attachments ofFIG. 1 . Thedrivable shaft 166 extends through the attachment from theproximal end 170 to thedistal end 172 and defines aninstrument receiving bore 174 in thequick connect chuck 162 at thedistal end 172. One ormore locking balls 176 are disposed intransverse bores 178 communicating with theinstrument receiving bore 174. Anouter sleeve 180 surrounds thedrive shaft 166 at thedistal end 172 and is mounted for axial translation along thedrive shaft 166 between a first position in which thesleeve 180 presses the lockingballs 176 into theinstrument receiving bore 174 and a second position spaced from the lockingballs 176. Aspring 182 biases thesleeve 180 toward the first position. Moving the sleeve proximally against spring tension allows theballs 176 to move away from theinstrument receiving bore 174 to admit or release an instrument, while allowing thespring 182 to bias thesleeve 180 distally causes thesleeve 180 to engage theballs 176 and lock the instrument in place. - The illustrative attachments may be driven directly from the motor in the
arthroscopic handpiece 10 or they may be geared up or down by appropriate components in the attachments in order to alter the output speed and torque from that provided by the motor. The gear ratio may be different for different attachments in order to obtain the speed and torque required for each attachment. - The attachments may also include a variety of identification systems (e.g. magnets, radiofrequency identification “RFID” devices or chips, Hall sensors, optical devices, etc.) in order to convey information to the handpiece and the control system so that appropriate signals may be generated by the control system to optimize the use of the attachments for certain procedures requiring varying speeds and torques. The signals may also alter the operation of the handpiece buttons (e.g. toggle, momentary on/off, etc.).
- The attachments may be variously configured for a variety of instruments such as a reciprocating saw for a reciprocating saw attachment, a sagittal saw for a sagittal saw attachment, assorted drills, reamers, pins, taps, screw drivers, etc. for rotary drive attachments, and any other suitable instruments. The instrument driven by the attachment may be a fixed integral part of the attachment or it may be modular and releasably attachable to the distal end of the attachment via a chuck, collet, and/or other mechanism.
- It will be understood that the novel attachments described above inherently produce a novel arthroscopic system and novel method for performing surgery. It will be understood that during a normal arthroscopic surgery an arthroscopic shaver (or bur) will be used during certain portions of the procedure. Depending upon the procedure, at some point the need may arise for a powered surgical handpiece and its associated instrument (drill, reamer, coring reamer, saw, pin, wire, etc.) such that the use of the arthroscopic shaver must be discontinued and a portion of the procedure must be continued with the powered surgical handpiece. With the present invention, the surgeon may simply remove the arthroscopic shaver from the surgical site at a selected point in the procedure and replace the shaver blade with one of the attachments described above. The attachment may have an instrument already secured to it or an instrument or additional attachment may need to be attached to the attachment as described above. The surgery may then continue with the now modified arthroscopic shaver handpiece, thus obviating the need to prepare, sterilize, or use any powered surgical handpiece. Clearly the use of the powered arthroscopic handpiece and the arthroscopic handpiece/attachment assembly may be alternated as necessary during the procedure.
- Although examples of attachments for arthroscopic shaver handpieces and their use have been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be understood that the same is intended by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation. Accordingly, variations in and modifications to the attachments for arthroscopic shaver handpieces and their use will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, and the following claims are intended to cover all such modifications and equivalents.
