Description
- This is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/505,463 which is the U.S. national phase of International Application PCT/EP03/02567 filed Mar. 12, 2003, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The disclosure relates to a device for the implantation of marking bodies in a human or animal bone and a magazine with marking bodies for this device.
- 2. Related Technology
- Marking bodies, preferably metallic balls, can be introduced into the human or animal skeleton to allow a quantification of the migration of implants, in particular joint prostheses, especially replacement knee joints and hip joints. For this purpose, a number of devices are already known, which operate in a similar manner to an injection syringe, one marking ball being placed by hand into a cannula of the injection syringe for each use and then introduced into the bone.
- The particular disadvantage with the known devices is that, during the operation, the marking balls have to be individually loaded or unloaded manually by the operator using tweezers or a similar instrument, which prolongs the operating time.
- It is also disadvantageous that, although the marking balls can be packed in a sterile manner before loading, they become unsterile after loading.
- Another device for the implantation of marking bodies in a bone, which comprises a magazine for the marking bodies and an ejector mechanism for the marking bodies, is known from DE 297 17 890 U1. This device is designed in the form of a pistol. The magazine is designed as a revolving chamber and contains several marking bodies.
- The disadvantage of this device is that the marking balls must be ejected and implanted one after the other, so that the spacing between marking balls is more or less random, and it is therefore not possible to ensure a reproducible spacing between the individual marking balls.
- The disclosure provides a device, which allows a simple and rapid, simultaneous insertion of at least one, preferably several, preferably sterile marking bodies at a defined position relative to one another into the skeleton in order to quantify the migration of implant components relative to the bone, and a magazine with marking bodies for this device.
- The device is designed in the form of forceps, and including medial and lateral forceps handles and medial and lateral forceps limbs wherein a magazine with at least one marking body can be attached to a magazine retained on one of the forceps limbs.
- The disclosure also provides a magazine useful in the device.
- The device is explained in greater detail below with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment on the basis of the drawings. The drawings are as follows:
-
FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of an exemplary embodiment of the device according to the disclosure; -
FIG. 2 shows a lateral view of the exemplary embodiment of the device according to the disclosure with the magazine fitted; -
FIG. 3 shows a lateral view of the exemplary embodiment of the device according to the disclosure with the magazine fitted and a distal guide attached; -
FIG. 4 shows a lateral view of the exemplary embodiment of the device according to the disclosure with the magazine fitted and the attached distal guide inserted into the bone cavity; -
FIG. 5 shows a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of the magazine to be used with the device according to the disclosure, with pre-loaded marking balls; -
FIG. 6 shows a cross-section through the magazine shown inFIG. 5 along the line marked VI-VI. -
FIG. 1 shows a lateral view of an exemplary embodiment of adevice 1, which comprises amedial forceps handle 2, alateral forceps handle 3, amedial forceps limb 4 and alateral forceps limb 5. The forceps handles 2 and 3 and theforceps limbs joint 6. When the forceps handles 2 and 3 are activated, the twoforceps limbs - A
spring element 7 which, in the exemplary embodiment consists of twocomplementary plate springs forceps handle spring element 7 acts to push the forceps handles 2, 3 apart again and the twoforceps limbs - A
magazine 10, which contains markingbodies 11 in a given arrangement, is attached to amagazine retainer 12, in the exemplary embodiment, in the form of a magazine guide attached to the lateral side of thelateral forceps arm 5, and, in the exemplary embodiment, pushed up to astop 13, so thatboreholes 14 of themagazine 10 are in mutual alignment withpins 15. Thepins 15 are attached to themedial forceps limb 4 and point towards thelateral forceps limb 5, on which themagazine 10 is attached by plug-on or push-on attachment. Thepins 15 provide a concave tip to ensure that they do not slip sideways on the markingbodies 11, inserting them from themagazine 10 into abone 20 in a defined position relative to one another, as described below. - In the same view as
FIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 shows thedevice 1 with the magazine fitted and with aguide 17, which can be plugged onto a distal end of thelateral forceps limb 5. In this context, theguide 17 comprises alateral guide 18 and amedial guide 19, which can be displaced relative to one another. -
FIG. 3 shows thelateral guide 18 already fitted to thelateral forceps limb 5. Themedial guide 19, which is fixed to thelateral guide 18 with an attachment device, which is not presented in greater detail here, can be displaced relative to thelateral guide 18. Accordingly, the longitudinal position of themagazine 10 and therefore also the position of themarking bodies 11 relative to thebone 20 can be selected. -
FIG. 4 shows how thedevice 1 is inserted into acavity 21 of thebone 20. In the exemplary embodiment, the bone is afemur 21, into the proximal end of which a cemented or uncemented replacement hip joint is to be inserted after referencing the bone by means of thedevice 1 according to the invention. In this diagram, by comparison withFIG. 3 , the position of themedial guide 19 is displaced in the distal direction, so that the depth of insertion of thedevice 1 is limited. With thelateral guide 18 and themedial guide 19 in the position shown inFIG. 3 , thedevice 1 could be pushed deeper into thecavity 21; with a further distal displacement of themedial guide 19 relative to thelateral guide 18, the depth of insertion would be reduced. - The diameter of the marking
bodies 11, preferably designed as marking balls, is typically 0.5 mm to 2.0 mm. Withcylindrical marking elements 11, these may be 3 mm to 6 mm long, and then preferably have a conical tip with a conical angle between 30° and 90°. Bio-compatible materials such as tantalum, pure titanium, titanium alloys, stainless steel, calcium phosphate ceramics, technical ceramics, resorbable ceramics, polymers or composites, which, through x-ray absorption, produce a clear contrast on the x-ray image relative to the surroundingbone 20, are suitable materials for the markingbodies 11. - After positioning the device as required in the
cavity 21 with the assistance of theguide 17, thedevice 1 for the insertion of themarking bodies 11 is activated by pressing together themedial forceps handle 2 and the lateral forceps handle 3 against the force of thespring element 7. As a result of the four-lever articulatedjoint 6, themedial forceps limb 4 is moved in a parallel manner towards thelateral forceps limb 5 until thepins 15 are in contact with themarking bodies 11 arranged in the magazine. As a result of the continued squeezing together of thedevice 1, thepins 15 press themarking bodies 11 through theboreholes 14 into the tissue structure of thebone 20. - At least two marking bodies are advantageously arranged in at least two rows in a non-collinear manner, thereby allowing the possibility of two-dimensional marking.
- In this context, the marking bodies are preferably spherical or cylindrical with a conical tip and are formed of material, which, through x-ray absorption, shows an adequately high contrast by comparison with the surrounding bone tissue.
- Furthermore, it is advantageous that pins engage in the magazine in such a manner that the marking bodies are pressed simply and simultaneously into the bone tissue up to a predetermined depth.
- A guide advantageously allows a limitation and regulation of the depth of insertin of the device into a bone cavity.
-
FIG. 5 shows a plan view of amagazine 10 to be used with thedevice 1 according to the invention. In the left-hand diagram, themagazine 10 is empty; while in the right-hand diagram, the magazine is loaded with threemarking bodies 11. After insertion into the bone, preferably withpins 15 of identical length, themarking bodies 11 from themagazine 10 are arranged in such a manner that they form a bone-reference system, preferably a plane, when three markingbodies 11 are used. As a result, they provide reliable information about the setting movement (migration) of implant components with reference to the surrounding bone. In this context, thepre-loaded magazine 10 is preferably packed in a sterile manner and can be fitted to thedevice 1 in a sterile manner. -
FIG. 6 shows a cross-section of themagazine 10 presented inFIG. 5 along the line VI-VI inFIG. 5 . The markingbodies 11, which are spherical in this exemplary embodiment, are arranged in theboreholes 14. To accommodate the angle of thebone 20, the magazine is designed in this context to be slightly trapezoidal with the narrow side in the distal direction. However, depending on requirements, general four-sided or rectangular profiles may also be used.
