Definitions
- This invention relates to orthopedic surgery and, in particular, spinal implants for replacement of ruptured or excised spinal disks.
- a spinal implant for insertion between adjacent vertebrae to function as an disk prosthesis.
- the prosthesis is formed from two plates fastened to adjacent vertebrae facing each other.
- the facing sides of the plates each have a depending skirt formed as concentric arcs of about 90 degrees.
- the skirts are either bowed or tapered in the axial direction.
- a protrusion is centrally located between the arcs on one plate and a depression is centrally located between the arcs of the other plate.
- a spring mechanism is centrally located on one or both of the plates to provide axial compression.
- the plates are oriented to each other with the concentric arcs of each interrupted skirt at 90 degrees and the protrusion is engaged in the depression.
- a spinal implant for axial support of the spinal column which replicates trie dimensions and function of an intervertebral disk. It is another objective of this invention to provide a kit including all the components for assembly and surgical placement of an artificial spinal disk. It is a further objective of this invention to provide a method of assembly of the components of the kit which results in an axially interlocked spinal implant. It is yet another objective of this invention to provide a modified ball and socket joint between two plates attached to adjacent vertebrae permitting axial rotation, lateral bending, vertical tilting and axial compression.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective of the disassembled kit of this invention
- Fig. 2 is a perspective of the assembled spinal implant of this invention with alternative fasteners
- Fig. 3 is a frontal view, partially in section, of the assembled implant of this invention showing axial rotation
- Fig. 4 is a frontal view, partially in section, of a modification of the assembled implant.
- Fig. 5 is a frontal view, partially in section, of the assembled implant showing a positive bend
- Fig. 6 is a side view, partially in section, of the assembled implant showing flexion/extension
- Fig. 7 is a perspective of the assembly position of the kit of this invention
- Fig. 8 is a side view, partially in section, of the implant showing the alternative location of the spring assembly
- Fig. 9 is a side view, partially in section, of the implant showing an alternative location of the spring assembly.
- the spinal implant 10 shown in Fig. 1, has three major components, an upper plate 11, a lower plate 12 and a leaf spring mechanism 50.
- the upper plate 11 is shown with a dome shaped depression 13.
- Both upper plate 11 and lower plate 12 have a plan form substantially the size and shape of the end wall of the vertebra between which the implant will be placed to produce the maximum area of contact between the implant and the vertebra for stability and support.
- different sized plates are necessary because of the difference in size of vertebra within a spinal column and the different sizes or ages of patients .
- the upper plate 11 has a planar surface 14 for contact with the end wall of a vertebra and an opposite disk surface 15.
- the arcs are approximately 180 degrees apart at their centers and extend about 90 degrees.
- the diameter of the arcs is less than the periphery of the plate 11 leaving a horizontal flange 19.
- Centrally located within the semi-circular arcs is the dome shaped depression or concavity 13.
- the lower plate 12 has a planar surface 20 for contact with the end wall of a vertebra and an opposite disk surface 21.
- Upstanding from the disk surface is an interrupted skirt 22 with opposed arcs 23 and 24.
- the arcs are approximately 180 degrees apart at their centers and extend about 90 degrees.
- the diameter of the arcs is less than the periphery of the plate 12 leaving a horizontal flange 25.
- the protrusion 26 Centrally located within the semi-circular arcs is the protrusion 26.
- the end 27 of the protrusion is rounded and shaped to closely fit the contours of the depression 13.
- the protrusion 26 is of such dimensions as to support the weight of the spinal column.
- the opposed arcs 17 and 18 of the depending interrupted skirt 16 are concentric with the opposed arcs 23 and 24 of the upstanding interrupted skirt and of lesser diameter allowing rotation of the plates relative to each other with surface contact between the outer surface 28 of the depending arcs and the inner surface 29 of the upstanding arcs .
- each of plates of the spinal implant has an fastener flanges 30 and 31 approximately normal to the vertebra contacting surfaces 14 and 20.
- the flanges have apertures 32, 33 which cooperate with bone screws to mount the spinal implant on the vertebra.
- the fastener flanges 30, 31 may be on the anterior surface or posterior of the vertebra.
- an alternative fastener is shown in the form of spikes 34 which are driven into the end walls of the adjacent vertebra.
- the two fasteners may be used together.
- the spinal implant provides support and range of motion similar to the natural joint in that the plates 11 and 12 may rotate axially, as shown in Fig. 3, limited by natural anatomical structures.
- a spring mechanism 50 is placed in the vertical axis of the plates 11 and 12.
- the protrusion 26 is telescopically housed in a cavity 51.
- the protrusion is supported on a leaf spring 52.
- the spring 52 has two spherical leafs 53 and 54 in opposition to each other.
- the spring is held in the cavity 51 by the disk side plate 55.
- the implant also provides limitation of these movements through interaction of the depending arcs and the upstanding arcs.
- the components of the kit are connected together by orienting the interrupted skirts 16 and 22 at 90 degrees to each other then placing the rounded end 27 of the protrusion 26 in the concavity 13. This action overlaps the interrupted skirts vertically.
- the plates are rotated through 90 degrees relative to each other, as shown in Fig.7. This rotation aligns the depending opposed arcs with the upstanding opposed arcs and interlocks the plates in a movable joint that cannot be separated axially.
- the outer surface 28 of the interrupted skirt 16 slidably contacts the inner surface 29 of the interrupted skirt 22.
- the contacting surfaces are spherical or bowed, as shown in Fig.s 3 and 4, forming another ball and socket joint with the bottom edge of the depending arc 23 of a larger diameter than the top edge of the upstanding arc 17 by which the plates are interlocked.
- the inner and outer surfaces may be straight or tapered and spaced apart to allow for bending and tilting.
- the components are made from materials that are suitable for implantation in the living body and have the requisite strength to perform the described functions without deformation, e.g., surgical stainless steel, titanium, and alloys of each, coated metals, ceramics, ceramic coatings, and polymer coatings.
- the surfaces may be coated or otherwise treated to promote bone in-growth.
- Fig. 8 illustrates a modification of the spring location.
- the contacting surfaces 28' and 29' of the interrupted skirts are held in tension by the spring mechanism 50 mounted between the depression 13 and the disk side of the plate.
- the depression 13 is formed on a slidable plug 56 in a bore 57 of the plate.
- the leaf spring 53, 54 is captured between the plug 56 and the disk surface of the plate.
- the spherical leaf spring as shown, has two leafs with each leaf having a central aperture 60.
- the spring mechanism 50 will dampen the shocks and the artificial disk will lessen the transmittal of these shocks to vertebrae on either side of the prosthesis .
- the protrusion 26 is shown with the spherical leaf spring 53, 54 fixed to the rounded end 27.
- the central aperture 60 of spring leaf 54 is attached to the protrusion about its periphery 61.
- the central aperture of the leaf 53 is aligned with the protrusion.
- the depression 13 is modified with a larger entrance 58 of sufficient diameter to accept the spherical leaf spring.
- the shoulder 59 provides the reaction surface for the spring.
- the kit contains plates with -protrusions and skirts of varying lengths to allow selection of components for an implant with the axial dimension substantially the same as the thickness of the disk the implant will replace.
- the kit may also contain upper and lower plate components of varying sizes.
- a prosthesis could be assembled from the kit with springs in the upper and lower plates.
