Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for the external fixation of fractures, in particular the extremities and the pelvis, consisting of at least one tension / compression rod and several bone screws (Schanz'sehe screws) or bone nails (Steinmann nails) and connecting clamps for establishing the connection between the bone screws and the force-transmitting tension / compression rod.
- Hit of this device which is usually referred to in technical jargon as an external fixator, is used to treat open, infected fractures and tri-fractures in particular.
- an external fixator In contrast to internal fixation by means of implants, it is not necessary to expose the bone in the fracture area when using the device mentioned.
- the considerably simplified application allows the use of such a device also by paramedical personnel, such as emergency workers and military paramedics.
- the main area of application of the device for the external fixation of fractures is essentially in war and disaster medicine as well as accident surgery as rapid, provisional or definitive care.
- the resilience of such a fixed bone is so great immediately after the surgical placement that a patient can then be discharged immediately for external treatment. This is an economically essential factor in many medically underserved countries with an acute shortage of hospital beds. It is therefore obvious that the economic considerations when purchasing such devices are of paramount importance.
- the connecting clamp which is used to establish the connection between a bone screw and the force-transmitting tension / compression rod.
- a widespread connecting terminal can be seen at least in a hint from the illustration according to FIG. 1.
- Such a clamp consists of a U-shaped holding part, with a bore passing through both cheeks and a block mounted between the two cheeks with an equally dimensioned through hole. The tension / compression rod is passed through the through-hole and the clamping takes place by the block being able to be displaced relative to the U-shaped body by means of a screw.
- the clamp comprises a pair of jaws that are pressed together with another screw. Furthermore, the relative angular position of the two jaws secured to each other and means are provided to fix the relative angular position of the jaws on the body of the clamp. All parts of the clamp place high demands on the production, have to be worked extremely precisely and are accordingly also expensive and accordingly sensitive to overloading and damage.
- the connecting clamp can advantageously consist of a carrier body, which can be manufactured from a section of a threaded tube.
- all other parts of the connection clamp can be manufactured as simple turned parts.
- the tubular support body of the connecting clamp Device according to the invention according to the features of claim 7, it can also be manufactured as a cast part, which results in a particularly inexpensive manufacture if a correspondingly large number is produced.
- Figure 1 - shows a device for external fixation of fractures with conventional connecting clamps according to the prior art
- Figure 3 - shows a preferred embodiment of the connecting clamp according to the invention in axial longitudinal section parallel to the direction of the bone screw and
- Figure 4 - a section in the direction of the tension / compression rod, while the Figure 5 - shows a section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the connecting clamp in the piercing plane of the bone screw.
- Fig. 6-8 - show two longitudinal and a cross section through a carrier body of a first embodiment of the connecting clamp
- Fig. 9-11 two longitudinal sections and a plan view of a carrier body of a second embodiment of the connecting clamp.
- Figure 12 - shows a cross section through a clamping ring, which in
- Figure 13 - is shown in supervision.
- Figure 14 - shows an axial section through a support ring
- Figure 18 - shows a connecting clamp with internal clamping rings.
- the purely operational use of the device for external fixation of fractures is not discussed here.
- connection between bone fragments and fixator is generally made either with bone screws or bone nails.
- bone screws which are used more frequently than bone nails.
- Schanz's screws are often used for bone screws.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 clearly show how two bone fragments F1 and F2 are stabilized with respect to one another by means of a known device.
- the tension / compression rod 1 runs approximately parallel to the direction of the bone to be fixed, while the bone screws 2 are screwed into the same approximately perpendicular to the direction of the bone.
- the connecting clamps 3 are penetrated on the one hand by the tension / compression rod 1 and on the other hand hold the bone screws 2 by clamping. Two bone screws are inserted in each of the two main bone fragments. This is necessary for the exact position fixation and axis stabilization relative to the tension / compression rod 1. Different conditions may require more than one tension / compression rod to fix a fracture. For example, two or three tension / compression rods 1 can be attached to the same bone screws 2.
- connecting rods can also be attached between the tension / compression rods, which in turn are held by means of the connecting clamps.
- the connecting clamps 3 must be able to hold the tension / compression rods 1 on the one hand and the bone screws 2 on the other hand.
- the connecting clamp 3 according to the invention consists of a carrier body 10 and various rings arranged on the carrier body 10.
- the carrier body 10 has two through holes 12 and 13 which are offset from one another in the axial direction.
- the diametrically extending through hole 12 is a cylindrical bore which is dimensioned such that the force-transmitting Tension / compression rod 1 can penetrate the hole with relatively little play.
- the freedom of movement of the support body 10 relative to the tension / compression rod 1 is consequently limited to a displacement of the support body 10 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the tension / compression rod 1 and to a rotation about the longitudinal axis of the tension / compression rod 1.
- the rod 1 transmits both compressive and tensile loads in use, it is generally referred to as a tensile / compressive rod.
- the carrier body 10 can be manufactured from a threaded tube section.
- the tubular support body 10 has an external thread 11 extending over the entire length.
- the tension / compression rod 1 can be fixed in the support body 10 in the simplest manner by screwing a clamping ring 20 with an internal thread 21 onto this external thread 11.
- a clamping ring has contact surfaces for a screwing tool.
- these engagement surfaces are designed in the form of radial bores 22.
- a clamping ring, which has bores as engagement surfaces, is suitable, for example, for being tightened using a hook wrench.
- two diametrically opposite bores can also serve to receive a detachable bracket.
- This bracket that swivels with the Kle mring 20 is connected allows quick and tool-free attachment of the clamping ring on the support body 10 and with it enough power can be transmitted to achieve a clamping that is sufficient for a temporary fixation.
- a tubular key can be pushed over the bracket, which uses this for the moment transfer to the clamping ring, or the bracket 23 is removed and the clamping ring is tightened with the hook wrench.
- the clamping ring 20 can also be equipped with flat engagement surfaces on the outer surface, so that the clamping ring can be tightened like a nut, for example by means of an open-ended wrench.
- other configurations that are adapted to corresponding known tools can also be implemented.
- a second through hole 13 diametrically penetrating the carrier body 10 serves to pass through a bone screw. While the tension / compression rod 1 is held in a form-fitting manner in the carrier body 10, this does not apply to the implementation of the bone screw by the carrier body 10. Rather, the bone screw 2 must have sufficient freedom of movement to be able to make the required angle adjustment. Accordingly, the through hole 13 for the bone screw is designed more like a window. In the present embodiment, the through hole 13 is realized as an elongated hole. The bone screw is clamped here not between a second clamping ring 20 and the carrier body 10, but between a second clamping ring 20 and a matching ring 40.
- a support ring 30 is screwed onto the already mentioned external thread 11.
- the support ring 30 has an internal thread 31 which fits on the external thread 11 of the carrier body 10 and is permanently secured against rotation after assembly.
- the radial outer surface of the support ring 30 is preferably conical.
- the adapter ring 40 is a conditionally movable clamping jaw. The bone screw 2 is held between this clamping jaw and a second clamping ring 20.
- the matching ring 40 has on its flat end face 42 pairs of diametrically opposite recesses 43 which are open to one another.
- the depths of the various recesses 43 distributed over the circumference can of course be different, corresponding to the diameters of the bone screws to be clamped.
- the diameter of common bone screws varies between 3 and 5 millimeters.
- the shape of the open recesses 43 can semicircular, semi-oval or in the shape of a triangular notch to increase the small effect.
- FIGS. 9-11 show a variant of a carrier body 10 'which is not made from a threaded tube, but, for example, rotated from a thick-walled tube or can even advantageously be made as a cast element.
- the carrier body 10 ' has a collar 50 which is integrally connected to the carrier body 10' and corresponds in appearance and function to the support ring 30.
- the collar 50 also has a correspondingly conical radial outer surface 52. This in turn serves as a bearing surface for the conical inner surface 41 of the adapter ring 40. Due to the manufacturing process, the external thread on the carrier body 10 no longer runs over the entire length of the same, but is only functional where necessary attached to the two end areas. These threaded sections are correspondingly labeled 11 'and 11' '.
- the clamping between the clamping ring 20 and the adapter ring 40 can also be realized without the conical configuration of the contact surfaces of the support ring and adapter ring directed towards one another.
- this would require increased manufacturing costs and a higher tightening force screwing parts.
- both are rather undesirable, so that the embodiment with conical contact surfaces is preferred.
- the taper of the contact surfaces is a question of optimization.
- the carrier body 10 can be provided with an open pair of slots 12 ', as is alternatively shown in broken lines in FIGS. 3 and 6.
- the entire connecting clamp 3 can also be attached to the side of the rod instead of being pushed onto the tension / compression rod. For operational reasons, this is sometimes desirable if it is shown that an additional bone screw is required for fragment stabilization.
- the carrier body 10 was provided with external threads and the conical support ring was placed on the outside, this can of course also be reversed by arranging the thread on the inside and the support ring also protruding inwards.
- the clamping rings 20 then have an external thread and can be screwed into the carrier body like a pin.
- the clamping rings 20 must then be provided with an internal drive, such as a hexagon or square drive, or a Torx drive. This variant allows a particularly space-saving solution. This variant is shown systematically in FIG. 18.
- the clamping rings 20 have a hexagon socket.
