Definitions
- the invention relates to a thread-anchor system for connecting tissue parts, in particular for supplying meniscal tears, with at least two arrow-shaped or pin-shaped anchor implants, which are connected to one another via a flexible thread fixed to the anchor implants.
- the invention also relates to an instrument for inserting such an anchor implant.
- tissue parts for example the parts of a meniscus separated by a tear
- arrow-like anchor implants into the tissue parts, which are secured in the tissue parts by barbs or corresponding barb-shaped shapes against being pulled out.
- These implants can either directly connect the tissue parts to be connected by passing through both tissue parts (WO 85/03857; US 5,843,084), or two such arrow-shaped anchor implants are connected to one another via a flexible intermediate member, so that they thereby bridge the connection point (EP 0 589 306 A2; EP 0 664 198 B1).
- a thread-anchor system of the type described in the introduction in that at least one of the anchor implants has a continuous longitudinal channel for receiving a slowly displaceable core, and that a thread guide is arranged on this anchor implant for slowly displaceable pick-up of a thread common to all anchor implants, that the thread guide is assigned a clamping device for fixing the thread in the thread guide and that the clamping device is ineffective as long as the core is in the longitudinal channel and only becomes effective when the core is pulled out of the longitudinal channel.
- At least two anchor implants are connected via a common thread. tied, and on at least one of these anchor implants, this thread is initially freely displaceable in a thread guide. After inserting the anchor implants into the tissue, the thread can thus be tensioned between the two anchor implants in the desired manner, and in this tensioned state the thread can then be fixed to the anchor implants by pulling the core out of the longitudinal channel. Knot formation is no longer necessary, and nevertheless it is possible to tension the thread connecting the inserted anchor implants in the desired manner and thereby fix the tissue parts to be connected to one another.
- a first anchor implant is firmly connected to the thread and that all further anchor implants have a longitudinal channel with a pull-out core and a thread guide with a clamping device.
- any number of further anchor implants can first be slidably threaded on the same thread, but after the anchor implants have been inserted, the thread can be tensioned and fixed between these anchor implants.
- the thread-anchor system can comprise only two anchor implants or a larger number of anchor implants.
- the first anchor implant can also have a continuous longitudinal channel, which facilitates the insertion of the anchor implant into the tissue part in a manner explained in more detail.
- all anchor implants have a longitudinal channel with a pull-out core and a thread guide with a clamping device, ie all anchor implants are initially freely displaceable on the thread and are only fixed by pulling out the core along the thread.
- one end of the thread carries a stop element which, when the thread is tensioned, rests against a fabric part and thereby prevents the thread from being drawn further into the fabric part.
- the core can be a push-piece which is pulled out of the anchor implant to activate the clamping device, but it is particularly advantageous if the core is a guide wire which is pushed through the anchor implant and is inserted into the tissue, because it is then possible to advance the anchor implant along this guide wire into the desired position in the tissue.
- the guide wire therefore takes over both the guidance of the anchor implant when it is inserted and the activation of the clamping device for the thread when the guide wire is pulled out.
- the guide wire can also serve to position the tissue parts to be connected to one another relative to one another, so that the tissue parts are fixed in the desired relative position to one another when the anchor implant is inserted. It can be ruled out be that these tissue parts are put together crooked or overlapping.
- anchor implants have barbs or barb-shaped projections on their outer surface, so that once inserted anchor implants are fixed in their position.
- the anchor implant and / or the thread preferably consist of resorbable plastic material, so that these implants are dissolved in the body after the healing process has ended.
- the core can make the clamping device effective in different ways.
- the core in the inserted state, can move a clamping element, for example a flexible clamping tongue, which is movably arranged on the anchor implant into a position in which this clamping element cannot effectively block the thread.
- this clamping element which can be a barb, for example, lies on the thread and in this way prevents the thread from shifting relative to the anchor implant.
- These clamping elements can be single-acting barbs, but also double-acting, i.e. barbs are provided for both directions of displacement of the thread, so that the thread is fixed against displacement in both directions after the core has been pulled out.
- the thread guide one the longitudinal channel penetrating clamping section and a sliding section arranged next to the longitudinal channel, that the core inserted into the anchor implant blocks the clamping section with respect to the sliding section and that the clamping device is arranged in the clamping section, while the thread in the sliding section is freely displaceable.
- the clamping section is released by pulling out the core, the thread can enter the clamping section from the displacement section and is thereby fixed against longitudinal displacement in the anchor implant.
- the clamping device can have a multiplicity of projections or barbs which come into contact with the thread when the thread comes into the clamping device and which thereby fix the thread in the anchor implant.
- the clamping device is a slit narrowing towards its bottom, into which the thread is inserted and between the side walls of which it is clamped when it is moved against the bottom of the slit.
- the slot penetrates the anchor implant diametrically at least in the region of the clamping section.
- the side walls of the slot can converge at an acute angle to the floor, it is advantageous if the side walls are curved concavely in cross section.
- the clamping section formed by the slot at its end opposite the floor merges into the sliding section which is also arranged outside the longitudinal channel and also forms part of the slot, the side walls of the slot being spaced apart from one another in the sliding section is than the diameter of the thread.
- the plane of the slot in the sliding section can be angled relative to the plane of the slot in the clamping section, the angling preferably being between 30 and 90 °. It is beneficial if the Slit is bent in the transition region between the clamping section and the sliding section, so that the thread slides easily from the sliding section into the clamping section after pulling out the core and during tensioning.
- the slot is open to the outside at the outer end of the sliding section on the U starting surface of the anchor implant. This makes it easier to insert the thread into the anchor implant.
- the invention is also based on the object of proposing an instrument for inserting an anchor implant with the properties specified above.
- an instrument which is characterized by a guide tube for receiving an anchor implant, by a guide wire which passes through the longitudinal bore of the anchor implant and protrudes from the guide tube with its tip forward, and by an extension element which is longitudinally displaceable in the guide tube for pushing out the anchor implant out of the guide tube.
- the anchor implant can be placed in a simple manner at the desired location by first pushing the guide wire protruding from the guide tube to the desired location on the tissue, then moving the push-out element in the guide tube, the anchor implant is removed from the guide tube along the guide wire excluded until the anchor implant reaches the desired position in the tissue.
- the instrument remains in place while the thread is tensioned in the desired manner; to fix the thread, it is then sufficient to pull the instrument out of the tissue; the guide wire also releases the longitudinal channel in the anchor implant and thereby activates the clamping device in the anchor implant, i.e. this sets the thread.
- the guide wire and / or the push-out element are preferably flexible.
- the push-out element can surround the guide wire.
- the guide wire is longitudinally displaceable relative to the guide tube, so that the depth of immersion of the guide wire in the tissue can be adjusted, i.e. the projection of the guide wire over the guide tube.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the front part of an instrument for inserting an anchor implant with an inserted anchor implant before the anchor implant is inserted into the tissue
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional view through two parts of a fabric to be connected to one another with anchor implants inserted therein before tensioning the thread connecting the anchor implants;
- Figure 3 is a view of the fabric portion of Figure 2 in the direction of arrow A in Figure 2;
- FIG. 4 a view similar to FIG. 2 after the thread connecting the anchor implants has been fixed to an anchor implant
- Figure 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5-5 in Figure 4.
- FIG. 6 shows a view similar to FIG. 2 after the thread connecting the anchor implants has been fixed in both anchor implants.
- FIG. 1 shows an instrument 1 for inserting a circular-cylindrical anchor implant 2, which essentially comprises a flexible guide tube 3, a guide wire 4, which is centrally located therein and is also flexible and protrudes beyond the end of the guide tube 3, as well as a guide wire 4 inside the guide tube 3 surrounding sliding element 5 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable.
- the guide wire 4 can also be mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner in the guide tube 3, the displacement of the push-out element and, if appropriate, of the guide wire takes place via Handling handles, not shown in the drawing, at the opposite end of the guide tube 3.
- the outer diameter of the guide tube 3 is chosen so that it can also be inserted into the body interior via conventional trocar sleeves, for example the outer diameter of the guide tube 3 can be 7 to 10 mm are preferably 3 to 5 mm.
- the guide tube of the insert instrument can moreover be inserted directly through a skin incision into a joint in which an anchor implant 2 is to be inserted, for example in the meniscus. In other indications, however, the guide tube 3 is inserted into the body through a trocar sleeve in the manner described.
- the anchor implant 2 is an essentially circular-cylindrical, pin-shaped or arrow-shaped body made of a resorbable plastic, preferably with a diameter of 2 to 3 mm, which has a conical tip 6 and on its cylindrical outer jacket 7 a large number of barb-shaped circumferential ribs 8.
- a central longitudinal channel 9 passes through the anchor implant 2, and this longitudinal channel 9 receives the guide wire 4, ie the anchor implant 2 is inserted from the open end of the guide tube 3 over the guide wire 4 into the interior of the guide tube 3, so that the anchor implant 2 in the guide tube 3 is completely accommodated when the push-out element 5 is pushed back, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the anchor implant 2 In its central region, the anchor implant 2 has a slot 10 which extends through it transversely, which passes through it diametrically in a clamping section 11 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the anchor implant 2 and which, at its end facing the tip 6, extends obliquely outward to the outer jacket 7, continues to the outside open sliding section 12.
- the sliding section 12 is inclined relative to the clamping section 11 by an angle between 30 ° and 90 °, in the transition area between the clamping section 11 and the sliding section 12 the slot 10 is curved, ie the transition is not gradual but continuous.
- the side walls 13 and 14 of the slot 10 converge at the bottom 15 of the slot 10 and converge there at an acute angle, in the adjoining wall areas the side walls 13 and 14 are curved slightly concavely (FIG. 5).
- a flexible thread 19 is inserted, which enters the slot 10 through the one guide channel 16 and exits the slot 10 through the other guide channel 17, so that the thread 19 forms a U-shaped loop in the anchor implant 2 , If the guide wire 4 is inserted into the longitudinal channel 9 of the anchor implant 2, as is shown, for example, in FIG. 1, then the thread 19 cannot enter the clamping section 11 of the slot 10, since the latter is filled by the guide wire 4, the thread 19 must then move into the sliding section 12, where it lies semi-circularly on the outside of the guide wire 4 ( Figures 1 and 2).
- the distance between the side walls 13 and 14 of the slot 10 is larger in the sliding section 12 than the diameter of the thread 19, so that the thread 19 is freely displaceable in the sliding section.
- the thread 19 can slide into the clamping section 11, this takes place in particular when the thread 19 is tensioned at the two thread ends leading out of the anchor implant 2. As a result, the thread 19 passes between the side walls 13 and 14 converging towards the bottom 15 and is clamped there, so that a longitudinal displacement of the thread is no longer possible.
- two such anchor implants are inserted into two tissue parts 20, 21 to be connected to one another.
- an instrument 1 is attached to each tissue part 20 or 21, ie a guide wire 4 is inserted, and an anchor implant 2 is advanced into the tissue part 20, 21 along the guide wire 4.
- the thread 19 running in the two anchor implants 2 is there common to both anchor implants 2, ie this thread 19 bridges the connecting surface 22 of the two tissue parts 20, 21.
- the common thread 19 can be freely moved in the longitudinal direction in both anchor implants 2.
- the thread 19 in the anchor implant 2 By pulling out a guide wire 4 and tensioning the thread 19, the thread 19 in the anchor implant 2, from which the guide wire 4 is pulled out, is displaced into the clamping section 11 and thereby fixed in the interior of the anchor implant 2 (FIG. 4, left anchor implant). It is now possible to shift the thread 19 in the other anchor implant 2 until the desired thread tension is reached, by means of which the two tissue parts 20 and 21 are pulled together. As soon as this is the case, the guide wire 4 can also be pulled out in the second anchor implant, so that the thread 19 then also slides in the second anchor implant 2 into the clamping section 11 and is clamped there (FIG. 6). Without knot formation, the two anchor implants 2 with the desired thread length and thus also with the tension required to join the tissue parts 20 and 21 are connected to one another.
- Further anchor implants 2 can also be lined up in the same way on the same thread 19, so that a larger number of anchor implants 2 can be clamped to one another in the manner described with the same thread. After setting the first kerimplantates 2 this can be achieved simply by successively placing further anchor implants 2, tensioning the thread when the anchor implants 2 are in place, then pulling off the guiding instrument with the guide wire 4 and thereby also threading the thread in the newly inserted anchor implant 2 is set. This is a very simple process that can be carried out quickly, in particular the times for producing a knot are eliminated, and complicated handling of the thread ends becomes unnecessary, which can be very difficult, particularly in the case of endoscopic operations.
