Definitions
- the present invention concerns an intervertebral disc prosthesis designed to be substituted for fibrocartilaginous discs ensuring connection between the vertebra of the vertebral column or the end of the latter.
- the intervertebral discs are formed from a deformable but noncompressible element called "nucleus pulposus” containing approximately 80% water, surrounded by several elastic fibrous layers converging to maintain the nucleus, absorb part of the forces applied to the entire disc and stabilize the articulation. These elements may often be broken down or damaged by compression, displacement or wear and tear, following shocks, infections, exaggerated forces or simply over time.
- this articulation element may cause intense pain and significant constraint in the patient.
- a therapeutic route for the last twenty or so years consists of surgically replacing the defective disc with a functional prosthesis.
- the use of such a prosthesis requires a device that is not very cumbersome, that supports significant forces, or has a great sturdiness over time.
- the comfort of the patients already affected by great and acute pain makes it desirable to arrange for a prosthesis that most faithfully reproduces the natural possibilities of movements and at the same time ensures the best stability possibility to the spinal column that is sometimes already damaged.
- a certain number of prostheses have been proposed with a compressible material base, with the goal of reproducing the kinematics of natural movement while reproducing its components and their characteristics of shape or plasticity, as described in the patent FR 2 124 815 which proposes a disc from elastomer material reinforced by a textile material.
- These devices present the drawback of a lifetime that is often too limited and also suffer from drawbacks indeed due to this elasticity.
- the prosthesis since the prosthesis is entirely compressible, a progressive sliding of the prosthesis may be produced relative to the vertebra between which it is placed, which too often leads it to leave its housing.
- the addition of anchoring pins does not allow sufficient remedy for this problem, because the micromovements permitted by the compressibility of the material of the prosthesis also include a vertical component, which too easily allows the pins to leave their housing with each movement.
- the plates are articulated by their internal cavity on the edge of the nucleus of the side in question, but according to a rotation movement which, on the other side makes their edges move apart more than they were at rest.
- This separating has a tendency to detach the vertebral plates on which they are supported, which damages the surface of the vertebra at the sites where the plates have just anchored and again allows progressive displacement with risk of complete ejection of the prosthesis.
- Another type of prosthesis described in patent FR 2 659 226 consists of an upper plate presenting a concave face that comes to slide on a nucleus in the form of a segment of a sphere, this nucleus being immobilized in a cavity of the lower plate.
- the rotation is done more satisfactorily from the point of view of space of the plates, but the sliding of the upper plate on a sphere whose centre is located on the exterior of the prosthesis also causes lateral displacement which may be harmful as much to the kinematics of movement as to the organs present in the vicinity.
- WO 00 53 127 as well as US 5 401 269 and US 4 759 766 propose to provide a translation stop, produced in different ways.
- a translation stop in the form of a relief protruding from one contact surface of the nucleus and movable in a recess in the plate or inversely.
- This type of internal stop is therefore located on the interior of a contact or support surface between nucleus and plate, and therefore decreases the available surface considerably. This decrease in support surface increases the stresses undergone by the materials, therefore the risks of wear and tear or strain in creep or exceeding elastic limits. The separation between the support surface and housing receiving the stop may also risk marking the piece which is supported above and damaging the latter.
- such a central stop is provided with a noncircular shape, which in a certain extent allows the rotations of the nucleus to be limited relative to the plate that provides it.
- this noncircular forms additional constraint which again limits the surface available for support.
- the angles of this shape themselves form fragile zones, which only ensures low sturdiness to this stop operation in rotation.
- a collar protrudes from the nucleus and surrounds it in the space between the two plates. In its exterior part this collar widens at a certain height along the axis of the spinal column towards each of the plates, which forms two interior borders that may be supported on the exterior border of contact surfaces of these same plates.
- this type of external peripheral stop presents certain drawbacks, in particular in terms of obstruction.
- this collar represents considerable vertical obstruction (along the spinal column axis) and the contact surfaces of the plates must also present a certain height to be able to stop this collar in translation.
- the peripheral shape of this type of stop also occupies considerable radial space, in particular in a section plane where the spinal column presents the smallest width, as in sagittal plane.
- this obstruction may occupy a space that would be useful for the configuration of the rest of the prosthesis, which may limit the results in terms of kinematics or reliability.
- this type of external peripheral stop requires a nucleus with biconvex shape to be used, to allow for provision of sufficient height for the contact surfaces of the plates to form an exterior border usable by this stop. Therefore, this type of stop is difficult to produce for a nucleus presenting one or more concave surfaces, while such forms of nucleus may allow the kinematics of the prosthesis to be made more comfortable with use by the patient.
- such a collar may also be able to limit the clearance in rotation of the nucleus relative to the plates, for example by peripheral contact between two concentric ellipses and with different radii.
- such contact is done according to a very tight angle between the surfaces being supported on each other, which makes the position of this limit not very precise and increases the risks of wear and tear or blockage by clamping.
- the clearance in rotation permitted by such kinematics is directly dependent on the clearance permitted in translation, and may not be chosen independently of the latter during design of the prosthesis.
- a goal of the invention is to propose a prosthesis allowing the spinal column better stability by a greater precision and sturdiness in relative positions of pieces that compose it.
- the damages undergone by the spinal column because of the different pathologies leading to deciding to fit a prosthesis sometimes make useful the re-establishing of stability or posture that the elasticity of the spinal column no longer allows to be provided. According to the pathologies and the history of the patient, it may then be indicated to induce a certain angular correction in the configuration of the intervertebral space for example in the sense of lordosis or that of kyphosis.
- Another goal of the invention is therefore to propose a prosthesis allowing the prosthesis better stability by the re-establishment of posture adapted to the kinematics of movements that it produces.

- a prosthesis according to the prior art disclosed by the patent FR 2 730 159, represented in Figure 6c, consists of a movable nucleus with two spherical surfaces oriented in the same direction, that may be laterally displaced between two plates and may allow incline without lateral displacement.
- the nucleus In the extreme position, however, the nucleus is only kept on the exterior side by the furthest border of the spherical surface of the upper plate. Since this edge itself is already raised, there is a great risk that too high a vertical pressure or a horizontal parasitic force causes ejection of the nucleus towards the exterior of the prosthesis, causing intense pain and risks of immediate damage for the tissues surrounding the vertebral column, such as ligaments or spinal marrow.
- a prosthesis according to the invention consists of a lower plate (1) being articulated with an upper plate (3) around a nucleus (2) presenting two spherical sliding surfaces with the same orientation on both faces.
- the lower surface (21) of the nucleus (2) is concave and slides on a complementary convex surface (12) provided by the upper face, known as internal, of the lower plate (1).
- the upper surface (23) is convex and slides on a complementary concave surface (32) provided by the lower face, known as internal, of the upper plate (3).
- the radius of the lower contact surface (21 ) of the nucleus (2) is a radius greater then that of its convex upper surface (23), the centres of the spheres providing its two contact surfaces being located on the same axis of symmetry (d2) of these two surfaces.
- the two plates present contact surfaces (12, 32) the axes of symmetry (d12, d32) of which are perpendicular to their external faces (10, 30).
- the horizontal displacement part of the nucleus in one direction due to the rotation on the upper sliding surface around its centre (cs), is compensated by a rotation of the nucleus on its lower sliding surface around its centre (ci) which induces horizontal displacement of the nucleus (2) and therefore of the centre (cs) of the upper sliding surface.
- the radii of the two spheres providing these sliding surfaces (12, 21 , 23, 32) are determined so as to modify the lateral displacement of the plates by comparison with each other during their incline.
- the radii of these sliding surfaces (12, 21 , 23, 32) may be chosen so that the movement of the plate is reduced to an incline accompanied with a possible vertical component but without horizontal displacement of the upper plate relative to the lower plate.
- a central stop formed for example by a cylindrical block (4) protruding from the convex surface of the lower plate and cooperating with edges of a recess (22) arranged in the centre of the contact surface (21) of the lower concave surface of the nucleus.
- the lower plate also presents on its upper face an approximately cylindrical cavity (11) in which the edges (112) protrude from the contact surface (12) with the nucleus (2), and cooperate with the approximately cylindrical perimeter (20) of this nucleus to ensure an operation of annular stop for it while limiting its movement towards the exterior of the contact surface (12) that provides it.
- the internal surfaces of the plates, on their parts (113, 331 ) exterior to the sliding surfaces, present a form capable of cooperating among themselves to limit by stop the incline of the plates with each other at a determined angle (a1).
- the stop (4) is provided by the convex surface (12) of the lower plate (1) and presents approximately the shape of an inverted cone, that is, its section is greater in its end (42) opposite the surface (12) that provides it.
- the interior surface (224) of the recess (22) cooperates with the exterior surface (40) of the stop (4) to limit the raising of the nucleus when the latter is in furthest position against this stop (4).
- the different shapes and dimensions intervening in the stop mechanisms could be determined so as to coordinate the order of arrival at stop of the different parts.
- These shapes and dimensions could be determined for example, so that the pieces reach stop at the same stage of movement, for example determined by angular incline (a1) between the lower (1) and upper (3) plates.
- the annular stop operation is used very little or not at all, which allows the vertical obstruction of the prosthesis to be decreased.
- the lower surface (21a) of the nucleus (2) may be approximately flat, and then slide on a contact surface (12a) of the lower plate (1 ), also approximately flat.
- the flatness of the contact surface (12a) of the lower plate allows the edges (112) of this plate that protrude from this surface to be particularly effective in their role of annular stop. Therefore, it is possible to manage without the central stop and thus to increase the common contact surface between the lower plate and the nucleus, which on the one hand, decreases the wear and tear of the pieces and on the other hand, the risk of marking the surface of the plate with placement of the contour of the recess (22, Figure 6a) in which is accommodated the central stop (4, Figure 6a) in other embodiments.
- the lower plate (1) presents an approximately cylindrical cavity (11) on its upper face the flat bottom (15) of which receives an intermediate piece called block (5).
- This piece is immobilized in the cavity (11) for example by the edges (112) of this cavity and presents on its upper face a convex surface (52) on which the lower concave surface (21 ) of the nucleus slides.
- This embodiment with the convex surface (52) on which the nucleus slides for example allows the good qualities of the surface necessary for the fluidity of movement and longevity of the prosthesis to be obtained more easily and at less cost. It also allows several models to be provided with blocks (5), of different shapes or qualities, that can be chosen in advance or at the time of the surgery according to applications with the same model of lower plate.
- the lower plate (1 ) receives a block (5) in an approximately cylindrical cavity (11 ) presenting a vertical perforation that the stop (4) integral with the lower plate crosses.
- this block supports a convex surface (52), on which the nucleus (2) and upper plate stack rests.
- the stop (4) may be integral with the block (5) on its convex contact surface (52)( Figure 8b).
- the prosthesis may be produced in a variant where the axes of symmetry of the contact surfaces (12, 15, 52, 21 , 23, 32) or support (10, 30) of one or more pieces are not merged.
- the pressure (F) exerted by the vertebrae on the two plates in the directions perpendicular to their external surfaces (10, 30) will then have the tendency to induce and continuously maintain an incline (a3, Figures 8a, 8b et 8c) between these plates (1 , 3), that is not zero, for example in the sense of lordosis.
- FIG. 8a An embodiment of such a variant is represented in Figure 8a where the axis of symmetry (d12) of the contact surface (12) of the lower plate (1) forms an angle (a2) determined with a direction (d10) perpendicular to the external surface of this same lower plate, while the axis of symmetry (d32) of the internal contact face (32) of the upper plate (3) is perpendicular to the external surface (30) of this same upper plate (3).
- the lower contact surface of the upper plate (3) presents an axis of symmetry parallel to a direction perpendicular to the support surface (30) of the external face of this same upper plate (3).
- a device in another variant according to the same principle represented in Figure 8b, includes a lower plate (1) providing a block (5) the upper contact surface of which (52) presents an axis of symmetry (d52) forming an angle (a2) determined with a direction (d51) perpendicular to its lower face (51).
- the internal contact surfaces (15, 32) of the lower (1) and upper (3) plates present axes of symmetry perpendicular to the support surface (10, 30) of their respective external faces.
- This block (5) could be maintained fixed around an axis perpendicular to the lower plate (1 ) by any known means (not represented) such as wedge, grooves or complementary accidents of shape between the block (5) and the lower plate (1) that provides it.
- nucleus (2) that presents two contact surfaces (21 , 23) the axes of symmetry of which (d21 , d23) form a determined angle (a2) between them.
- the internal contact surfaces (12, 32) of the lower (1) and upper (3) plates present axes of symmetry perpendicular to the support surface (10, 30) of their respective external faces.
- the angular correction (a3) induced by the nucleus (2) could then be kept constantly in the desired direction relative to the body of the patient by a rotation stop mechanism (not represented in Figure 8c) of this same nucleus, such a mechanism being described later ( Figures 9a and 9b).
- the device according to the invention presents an exterior stop mechanism, located outside the perimeter of the contact surfaces of the nucleus (2).
- this mechanism is formed of two protruding parts (6) protruding from the cylindrical exterior surface of the perimeter of the nucleus (2) in opposite directions.
- Each of these protruding parts is held in a housing (162) delimited by two pillars (161) integral with the lower plate (1).
- These pillars cooperate with the protruding part (6) or with the surface (20) of the perimeter of the nucleus or both for limiting the movements of this same nucleus in translation as in rotation parallel said plate.
- the housing is sufficiently large to allow small displacements of the nucleus required for the kinematics of the device, while being sufficiently narrow so that this same nucleus and the lower plate are adjacent in certain positions, for example, positions of maximum incline of the spinal column.
- the protruding part (6) or perimeter surface (20) of the nucleus (2) then cooperates with the pillars (161 ) of the lower plate to retain this same nucleus and avoid any lateral ejection.
- the pillars (161) present a larger section at the end than at the base, thus limiting the raising of the nucleus.
- this mechanism is formed of two protruding parts (6) protruding from the cylindrical exterior surface (20) of the perimeter of the nucleus (2) in opposite directions.
- Each of these protruding parts presents two arms delimiting a housing (66) which hold a pillar (163) integral with the lower plate (1).
- the pillars (163) present a larger section at their end than at their base.
- stop (9a and 9b) may allow the central stop to be disposed of and to thus increase the contact surfaces which decreases the wear and tear.
- stop (6) are also particularly valuable because of the limitation of the movements of the nucleus in rotation along an axis approximately parallel to the axis of the spinal column. In fact, this limitation makes it possible to use a corrective nucleus in which the contact surfaces present axes of symmetry that are not parallel, while maintaining in them the correction in a constant direction relative to the body of the patient.
- plates receive means for bony anchoring on their external face, designed to immobilize the prosthesis between the vertebrae or adjacent elements of the spinal column.
- These anchoring means may be pins (8) or wings presenting a small cross section at their end away from the plate that provides them. These pins then are embedded or are impacted by punching in the material of the bony elements (V) between which the prosthesis is fitted, for example under the effect of the pressure exerted by the ligaments when the tools are withdrawn, the tools that kept the vertebrae separated.
- Driving in the pins in the material of the bony element (V, Figure 6) then prevents the prosthesis from sliding outside its site.
- the plates (1 , 3) present one or more accidents of shape such as notches (7) or perforations (not represented) enabling catching of a grasping tool to remove the prosthesis from its site in case of need.
- the lower plate (1) presents a convex upper contact surface (12) providing a central stop (4) and a cavity presenting edges (112) forming an annular stop.
- an insertion device is presented in the form of an element (9) called insertion guide, presenting an internal channel (90) approximately rectangular in section in which the prosthesis (P) can slide.
- This channel (9) is formed from two semi-guides (91 , 92) with a cross section in the shape of a "U”, arranged inversely and fitted into each other.
- this guide (9) presents one or more parts called support blocks or edges (910, 920) protruding along its longitudinal axis (d9).
- These support blocks (910, 920) form an extension of the walls of the channel called vertical (9) that form the small sides of the rectangular section of the channel (9).
- the instrumentation used for fitting the prosthesis according to the invention comprises an insertion guide (93) provided with an internal channel (90).
- This channel (90) presents an approximately rectangular cross section, or with a shape approximately complementary to the exterior profile of the prosthesis.
- This internal channel (90) is provided with dimensions and shape adequate for allowing the prosthesis to pass and to guide from one of its ends to the other, in a position and along a displacement approximately parallel to the external faces of its plates (1 , 3).
- the channel (90) of the insertion guide (93) may include scallops in its walls opposite plates of the prosthesis.
- scallops make it possible to allow the anchoring means (8, 81) to pass provided by the plates of the prosthesis, while guiding the latter sufficiently precisely in the channel.
- these scallops have the shape of grooves (934, 936) along the axis (d9) of the channel provided by the internal walls of the channel opposite plates (1 ,
- the walls (931 , 932) of the channel (90) perpendicular to the plates of the prosthesis, that is, located in the plane containing the axis of the spinal column, are extended along the axis (d9) of this channel over a distance determined so as to protrude relative to the walls of this same channel that are parallel to the plates of the prosthesis. Since these extensions thus form the protruding parts, or support edges, that may be inserted in the intervertebral space to maintain the separation of the plates from the two vertebrae surrounding this space.
- the height of these support edges (931 , 932) is determined so as to maintain adequate space for allowing the introduction of the prosthesis and its anchoring means (8, 81), according to the method of anchoring provided. If the anchoring means are formed from sockets (8) or wings (81 ) before being introduced freely in the space, the support edges will have sufficient height to allow the height of these sockets or wings to pass. If the anchoring means are formed from wings having to penetrate the vertebral plates by a hollowed trench in the surface of these plates and opening laterally, the height of these support edges could be sufficiently low to allow the height of the prosthesis to pass but not the wings.
- the surgeon begins by removing the vertebral disc or its debris, and then uses distraction tools to increase the disc space available between the two vertebrae having to receive the prosthesis.
- distraction tools are often formed with an elongated handle providing a flat part at the end. This flat end is introduced between the vertebrae, then it is made to pivot to increase the separation of the vertebrae.
- the internal channel (90) of the insertion guide (93) is provided to be able to be threaded around such distraction tools, once they are in place between the vertebrae.
- the insertion guide is pushed so as to introduce its edges (931 , 932) between the vertebrae, in a plane approximately parallel to the spinal column.
- the distraction tools may then be removed from the spinal column by making them slide in the channel (90) of the insertion guide, while the height of the support edges preserves sufficient space between the vertebrae to allow fitting of the prosthesis.
- the insertion guide (93) presents means for interlocking with a guide assembly tool (94), used to bring it near the spinal column and facilitating its fitting.
- This guide assembly tool (94) is also usable for removing the insertion guide and its support edges, and allowing the vertebrae to tighten on the prosthesis, once the latter is in place.
- Such a guide assembly tool (94) is illustrated in Figures 12a and 12b.
- This tool (94) consists of two elongated tubes (941 , 946) articulated to each other by means (945) located at one end, called assembling, of this tool. These two elongated tubes at their end located opposite the assembling end, each provide interlocking means for insertion guide (93). These interlocking means may comprise, for example, a hook (942, 947) on each tube (941 , 946) the opening of which is located opposite the other tube.
- each hook (942, 947) to tightly encircle a tongue (934, 936) in the shape of a "T" protruding on each groove (933, 935) of the insertion guide.
- a rod (943, 948) that may be displaced longitudinally relative to the tubes by screwing means comprising a screwing wheel (944, 949).
- These means (95) of approach include means for positioning the prosthesis, these means of positioning being provided to position and maintain the assembled prosthesis in a determined position relative to these means (95) of approach even in the absence of the insertion guide (93).
- This positioning of the prosthesis on the approach means makes it possible for the interlocking of the approach means and the insertion guide to put the prosthesis in a position making it possible for it to be easily displaced from these same means of approach up to in the internal channel (90) of the insertion guide (93).
- these approach means (95) include two shafts (951 , 952) connected to each other by articulation (955) so as to come to pinch the prosthesis (P) between two flattened parts ensuring a determined position of the prosthesis relative to these approach means.
- the ends of these shafts opposite the articulation including interlocking means (953, 954) capable of cooperating with the interlocking means (934, 936) of insertion guide (93) to ensure a determined position of approach means (95) relative to the insertion guide (93) as well as certain stability to this assembly.
- these interlocking means (953, 954) may in particular comprise a scalloping in which the arms come to encircle the exterior of the groove (933, 935) of the insertion guide while gliding under the upper bar of the "T” formed by the tongue (934, 936) provided by this same insertion guide.
- the prosthesis is therefore in a stable position relative to the spinal column, and may be inserted in the insertion guide then slide up to the disc space.
- This displacement is achievable here with the aid of impacting means, or impactor (96) comprising an impacting end capable of pressing on the assembled prosthesis, distributed on both plates and without touching the nucleus.
- This impactor includes a central elongated part (960) that can be inserted in guiding means as an opening in the shape of a "U" provided by approach means (95) at their articulated end (955).
- This impactor includes another end (962) called assembling or striking, that can act to apply a continuous pressure or repeated shocks, with the hand or by any known tool or apparatus.
- Such an action, applied on the assembling end (962) of the impactor in the axis (d9) of the channel (90) then will be reverberated by the end (961) on the prosthesis, so as to cause its entrance then sliding in the channel (90) of the insertion guide (93), then its insertion or impaction in the intervertebral space.
