技术领域
本发明总体上涉及用以治疗肌骨失常的医疗装置、***和方法,特别涉及用以治疗脊柱的可膨胀椎间植入物和方法。
背景技术
诸如退行性椎间盘病、椎间盘突出症、骨质疏松症、脊椎前移、椎管狭窄、脊柱侧凸和其它弯曲异常、脊柱后凸、肿瘤和骨折等的脊柱病症可能由包括因受伤和衰老引起的创伤、疾病和功能退化等多种因素导致。典型地,脊柱病症导致包括疼痛、神经损伤、部分或完全失去移动能力等症状。例如,在椎间盘塌陷后,由于施加在神经和脊柱上的压力,会产生剧痛和不适。
诸如药物治疗、康复治疗和锻炼治疗等非手术治疗可能是有效的,但是不能够减轻与这些病症相关联的症状。对这些脊柱病症的手术治疗包括融合、固定、椎间盘切除、椎板切除和可植入假体。这些治疗可以使用椎间植入物。本发明描述了对现有技术的改进。
发明内容
因此,本文公开了一种可膨胀椎间植入物***和方法。在一个实施例中,提供了椎间植入物。该椎间植入物包括第一部件,该第一部件包括外部组织接合表面和内表面。第二部件连接到该第一部件并且能够从该第一部件相对地移动。该第二部件包括外部组织接合表面和内表面。该第二部件包括致动件。第三部件被设置用以接合操作,并能够相对于第一部件和第二部件移动。该第三部件至少包括第一斜部和与该第一斜部轴向间隔开的第二斜部。该致动件能够与第三部件接合,以实现楔形件的轴向平移,使得斜部接合第一部件和第二部件中至少一个的内表面,以使各部件在第一收缩构造和第二膨胀构造之间移动。

在一个实施例中,提供了一种治疗脊柱的方法。该方法包括以下步骤:提供椎间植入物,该椎间植入物包括:第一部件、第二部件和第三部件,该第一部件具有前端和后端,该第一部件包括外部组织接合表面和内表面,该第二部件具有前端和后端,该第二部件在相应后端附近可枢转地连接到第一部件,该第二部件包括外部组织接合表面和内表面,该第二部件包括致动件,该第三部件被设置用于接合操作并且能够相对于第一部件和第二部件移动,该第三部件至少包括第一斜部和与该第一斜部轴向间隔的第二斜部;将处于收缩构造的该椎间植入物沿身体的基本上后侧入路引入椎体间空间中;以及,将致动件接合该第三部件以实现第三部件相对于第一部件和第二部件的轴向平移,使得各斜部接合第一部件和第二部件中至少一个的内表面,以将该椎间植入物膨胀到第二膨胀构造。

具体实施方式
根据用以治疗肌骨失常的医疗装置,更特别地,根据用以治疗脊柱的可膨胀椎间植入物***和相关方法,讨论了本文公开的可膨胀椎间植入物***和相关使用方法的示例性实施例。可以设想的是,该植入物***可以提供例如融合、解压、矢状面平衡恢复和阻止沉入例如椎体终板表面等组织的功能。可以进一 步设想的是,该***包括椎间植入物,该椎间植入物在***椎间盘空间后膨胀并且具有数种特征,例如,可以灵活地***椎间盘空间使得在外科手术、神经根解压、膨胀以恢复矢状面平衡的过程中只需移除较少的骨,以使在例如腰椎应用中为前侧提供相对于后侧更多的膨胀。
在一个实施例中,通过直接外侧入路将可膨胀的椎间植入物***用于椎间盘空间,使得椎间植入物的远端比椎间植入物的近端膨胀得更多,以恢复脊柱前凸。在一个实施例中,可膨胀椎间植入物包括接合第一椎体终板的基底部件、接合在相反定向上设置的第二椎体终板的活塞部件以及在该基底部件和活塞部件之间被驱动以驱动基底部件和活塞部件分离的双斜部部件。可以考虑的是,该双斜部部件通过外螺纹部件而相对于基底部件进行移动。还可以考虑的是,该双斜部部件可以包括用以将活塞部件和基底部件在可膨胀椎间植入物的近端和远端处驱动分开的两个楔形件。可以设想的是,各楔形件的高度和角度选择性地提供在可膨胀椎间植入物的各端上的膨胀量和膨胀率。例如,当可膨胀椎间植入物膨胀时,在可膨胀椎间植入物的远部和/或前部上的较陡和/或较高楔形件驱动脊柱前凸。
可以设想的是,本文公开的可膨胀椎间植入物和使用方法可以用以通过微创或经皮***技术来实现椎骨的融合。在一个实施例中,所公开的可膨胀椎间植入物和使用方法可以通过用于竖直膨胀以在椎体中产生脊柱前凸的装置而提供更好的脊柱治疗。可以考虑的是,本文公开的可膨胀椎间植入物和使用方法提供相对较大体积的腔,以在后填充(post-packing)例如移植骨等至少一种中间件。

如图5和图6所示,远端94包括凸缘96,该凸缘接合楔形件58的壁98以通过楔形件58保持螺钉92。远端94延伸通过壁98并包括减小的直径100,使得远端94相对于壁98转动,以方便螺钉92和楔形件58的轴向平移。减少的直径100方便了螺钉92的邻近表面102与壁98的接合,以沿箭头A所示第一方向来驱动和轴向平移楔形件58。凸缘96接合壁98以沿箭头B所示的第二相反方向牵拉和轴向平移楔形件58。

楔形件58以中间定向的方式与部件46、48一起设置。楔形件58包括接合部件46的第一表面107和接合部件48的第二表面108,使得楔形件58能够移动,以相对于部件46、48进行轴向平移。楔形件58包括沿纵向轴线a设置的第一导轨部110和第二导轨部112,第一导轨部110和第二导轨部112可移动地接合部件46、48,以使椎间植入物40在第一构造和第二构造之间膨胀和收缩。
第一导轨部110包括第一斜部和第二斜部,第一斜部例如为前楔部114, 第二斜部例如为后楔部116。前楔部114沿导轨部110与后楔部116轴向间隔开。前楔部114具有第一高度h1并且相对于纵向轴线a具有第一倾斜角α1。可以设想的是,高度h1的范围可以在3毫米(mm)至7毫米之间。还可以设想的是,角度α1的范围可以在30度至60度之间。

导轨部110包括设置在楔部114、116之间的突出部118,使得楔部114、116轴向间隔并且也将楔部114与楔部116连接在一起。楔部114、116和突出部118沿导轨部110连续设置。可以考虑的是,楔部114、116在前端42和后端44处将部件46、48驱动分开,以方便椎间植入物40在第一构造和第二构造之间膨胀和收缩。还可以考虑的是,楔部114、116的高度和/或角度调节至少在导轨部110附近的椎间植入物40的膨胀量和膨胀率。可以设想的是,楔部114、116以整体形成,并由紧固元件或独立和不同的结构连接。
导轨部112包括第三斜部和第四斜部,第三斜部例如为前楔部120,第四斜部例如为后楔部122。前楔部120与后楔部122沿导轨部112轴向间隔开。前楔部120具有高度h1和倾斜角α1。后楔部122具有高度h2和倾斜角α2。
导轨部112包括设置在楔部120、122之间的突出部124,使得楔部120、122轴向间隔。突出部124将楔部120与楔部122连接在一起。楔部120、122和突出部124沿导轨部112连续设置。可以考虑的是,楔部120、122在前端42和后端44处将部件46、48驱动分开,以方便椎间植入物40在第一构造和第二构造之间膨胀和收缩。还可以考虑的是,楔部120、122的高度和/或角度调节至少在导轨部112附近的椎间植入物40的膨胀量和膨胀率。可以设想的是,楔部120、122以整体形成,并由紧固元件或独立和不同的结构连接。
导轨部110、112各自包括第一表面107的至少一部分,该部分接合部件46内表面56的至少一部分,以使椎间植入物40在第一构造和第二构造之间膨胀和收缩。例如,表面107的包括沿导轨部110设置的楔部114、116和突出部118的部分可滑动地接合沿延伸部60设置的部分68、70、72、74、76。表 面107的包括沿导轨部112设置的楔部120、122和突出部124的部分可滑动地接合沿延伸部62设置的部分68、70、72、74、76。导轨部110、112每一个也都包括表面108的至少一部分,该部分可滑动地接合内表面82的对应于延伸部60、62的至少一部分。

在一个实施例中,如图7和图8所示,活塞部件48包括诸如篮状部202的接收部,该篮状部202构造成设置例如移植骨的至少一种中间件。楔形件58包括诸如篮状部204的接收部,该篮状部204构造成设置例如移植骨的至少一种中间件。在第一收缩构造中,篮状部202、204以并排构造的方式连续设置。当椎间植入物40膨胀到第二膨胀构造时,篮状部202、204平移成竖直堆置构造,使得移植骨可以生长通过处于连接状态的篮状部202、204。篮状部202、204每个都包括多个开口,这些开口允许骨在篮状部202、204之间生长。在一个实施例中,篮状部202是具有恒定体积的上篮状部,而篮状部204是具有恒定体积的下篮状部。篮状部202、204在被递送到手术部位之前由移植骨填充,并以并排构造连续设置。篮状部202、204具有斜界面,该斜界面在椎间植入物40从第一收缩构造膨胀到第二膨胀构造时允许保持篮状部202、204之间的接触,并允许篮状部202、204从并排构造过渡到堆置构造和/或顶-底的构造。在篮状部202、204之间的该界面具有开口,使得在篮状部202、204之一内的移植骨可以与篮状部202、204中的另一个内的移植骨交界。该构造允许移植骨从第一椎体终板先通过篮状部202然后通过篮状部204或者先通过篮状部204然后篮状部202而融合到第二椎体终板。
在一个实施例中,如图9和图10所示,椎间植入物40包括移植骨腔,该移植骨腔构造成具有与椎间植入物40一起设置的、可控体积的移植骨。椎间植入物40包括延伸穿过其主体和部件46、48以及58的开口206。开口206被构造成用以设置诸如移植骨的至少一种中间件。在第一收缩构造中,开口206限定长度L1和横截面面积,使得移植骨的体积v被置于开口206中。楔形件58的壁98设置在近端位置或后部位置中。当椎间植入物40膨胀到第二膨胀构 造时,植入物40的总体高度增加,并且壁98沿图6中箭头A所示的方向轴向平移,如本文所述。由于壁98轴向平移,开口206的横截面面积减少。壁98平移到远端位置或前部位置,使得开口206限定长度L2。椎间植入物40的各部件被定尺寸为,使得开口206的长度减少到长度L2以及植入物10高度的增加相结合,以在椎间植入物40的整个膨胀期间保持移植骨的大体恒定的体积V。此允许椎间植入物40在膨胀的任何高度处都保持移植骨的恒定体积。应考虑的是,用于保持移植骨体积的该构造避免了在椎间植入物40高度增加时移植骨在开口206中变得松弛。还应考虑的是,紧密填充的移植骨可以潜在地增加融合能力。在一个实施例中,椎间植入物40提供可控体积的移植骨,使得椎间植入物40的各部件被定尺寸成,开口206的长度减少到长度L2的速率快于椎间植入物40高度增加的速率。由此,当椎间植入物40膨胀时,移植骨的体积减少。当椎间植入物40膨胀时,椎间植入物40的该构造压紧移植骨。可以考虑的是在椎间植入物40中被压紧的移植骨可以增加第一椎体通过移植骨融合到第二椎体中的可能性。
在操作中,如图3至图6所示,椎间植入物40被接合以在第一构造和第二构造之间设置,使得椎间植入物40在椎间盘空间中膨胀。椎间植入物40与仪器(未示出)接合,以方便根据具体外科应用的要求致动椎间植入物40的各部件。
在第一构造中,例如在收缩构造中(图5),部件46、48以较低的轮廓定向方式与楔形件58一起设置,使得延伸部60、62的平坦部68以平齐接合的方式与内表面82一起设置。楔部114、120被设置成平齐接合延伸部60、62的相应倾斜部70,楔部116、122被设置成接合延伸部60、62的相应倾斜部76。突出部118、124被设置在延伸部60、62的相应凹部72内。
当根据具体外科应用的要求对椎间植入物40进行所需的定位后,操作螺钉92以轴向移动楔形件58。仪器接合螺钉92,以沿顺时针方向进行旋转。螺钉92沿箭头A所示的第一轴向进行轴向平移。当螺钉92轴向平移时,表面102接合壁98,以沿箭头A所示的方向轴向驱动楔形件58。楔部114、120可滑动地接合延伸部60、62的相应倾斜部70,楔部116、122可滑动地接合延伸部60、62的相应倾斜部76。由于楔形件58的轴向平移而导致的楔形件58表 面和部件46、48的可滑动接合操作使部件46相对于部件48以转动方式绕铰接部50进行枢转,使得部件46、48在第一收缩构造和第二膨胀构造(图6)之间膨胀。该构造方便了椎间植入物40的膨胀,使得前端42相对于后端44具有更大的膨胀率和膨胀量。应考虑的是,当椎体间植入物40膨胀时,较陡和/或较高的导轨部方便了脊柱前凸。
在一个实施例中,通过沿图6中箭头B所示的、与第一轴向相反的第二轴向操作楔形件58,椎间植入物40可以从膨胀构造收缩到处于膨胀构造和收缩构造之间的替代构造。可以设想的是,用以收缩椎间植入物40的、楔形件58的反向轴向运动可用以重新定位椎间植入物40或从体腔内移除椎间植入物40。当在膨胀构造中设置椎间植入物40时,为将椎间植入物40设置为另一构造,螺钉92沿逆时针方向转动,使得凸缘96接合壁98,以沿箭头B所示的第二相反方向牵拉和轴向平移楔形件58。
当楔形件58沿第二轴向进行轴向平移时,部件46绕铰接部50枢转,以朝向收缩构造转动,使得楔部114、120移动以接合相应的倾斜部70,楔部116、122移动以接合相应的倾斜部76,并且突出部118、124移动以设置在相应的凹部72中。根据应用,部件46、48可以返回到如图5所示的完全收缩构造。
在一个实施例中,如图11所示,包含顺时针螺纹294的、诸如夹紧螺母292的致动件设置在近端296处并且被构造成设置在螺纹开口90中。夹紧螺母292包括设置在远端300处并构造成用以螺纹接合楔形件58的逆时针螺纹298。壁98限定构造用以设置螺纹298的螺纹开口302。从上述椎间植入物40的第一收缩构造,夹紧螺母292***作以轴向移动楔形件58。该仪器接合夹紧螺母292以在螺纹开口90中转动螺纹294,并在开口302中转动螺纹298,以使椎间植入物40膨胀。当夹紧螺母292转动时,螺纹294、298的反向转动使夹紧螺母292驱动分开楔形件58和基底部件48,使得楔形件58轴向平移,如本文所述。楔形件58和部件46、48如上所述可滑动地接合,使得部件46、48在第一收缩构造和第二膨胀构造之间膨胀。
在一个实施例中,如图12和图13所示,椎间植入物40构造成在第一收缩构造和第二膨胀构造之间选择性的和/或可变的膨胀。可以设想的是,楔形件58的导轨部110、112的形状和大小可以选择性地调节椎间植入物40的膨胀。 楔部114、120都包括具有倾斜角β1的第一表面402以及具有倾斜角β2的第二表面404。楔部116、122具有倾斜角β1。角度β2大于角度β1。
椎间植入物40在第一构造和第二构造之间的膨胀包括初级膨胀和次级膨胀。楔部116、122和楔部114、120的表面402具有倾斜角β1,使得在初级膨胀中,前端42和后端44附近的椎间植入物40的膨胀基本相等,如箭头X所示。可以考虑的是,初级膨胀提供了椎间盘空间的解压。在膨胀了选定量后,根据表面402的长度,部件46的倾斜部70接合楔部114、120的表面404,以越过由于楔部116、120导致的膨胀。角度β2大于角度β1,使得如箭头Y所示的前端42膨胀量大于如箭头Z所示的后端44的膨胀量。可以考虑的是,次级膨胀使椎间盘空间的前侧相对于后侧具有更大的膨胀量,以提供脊柱前凸。可以设想的是,可以使用其它斜部构造,以仅在竖直定向上使椎间植入物40膨胀和/或在诸如胸椎等应用中驱动脊柱后凸。
在组装和使用中,该椎间植入物***用于外科手术中,如对包括椎骨V、椎间盘空间I和其附近的身体区域的病人脊柱进行融合处理,如本文中所讨论的。该椎间植入物***也可以用于诸如椎间盘切除术、椎板切开术、椎板切除术、神经根凝缩、椎间孔切开术、椎骨关节面切除术、解压和脊柱、髓核或椎间盘更换等其它外科手术中。
例如,如图14至图16所示,椎间植入物***可以用于外科关节融合术,例如,用于治疗脊柱及其体内相邻区域感染段的适用病情或伤情的椎间融合术,相邻区域例如为用于椎体V的第一椎骨V1(未示出)和第二椎骨V2(未示出)之间的椎间盘空间I。可以考虑的是,上述椎间植入物***的椎间植入物40可以***椎间盘空间I,以将关节接合表面间隔开,为椎体V提供支持并使椎体V的稳定最大化。还可以考虑的是,椎间植入物40提供椎体之间的高度恢复、解压、矢状面平衡恢复和/或阻止沉入椎体终板的功能。

如以上关于椎间植入物40、540所述的,当椎间植入物840膨胀到第二膨胀构造(图24)时,联接部件902具有被动构造。如本文所述,在需要椎间植入物840收缩的应用场合中,该联接部件902将活塞部件846拉到收缩位置(图26)。联接部件902方便了在膨胀构造时设置椎间植入物840,以移除或重定向椎间盘空间中的椎间植入物840。可以设想的是,联接部件902避免了在轴向平移期间移植骨和/或中间件不必要地接合和/或干涉楔形件858。楔形件858包括开口859,开口859用于减少材料,以减少医疗成像散射现象。
在一个实施例中,如图27和图28所示,椎体间植入物840可以通过使用销和通路构造而主动收缩。活塞部件846包括从延伸部860、862向内延伸的销948。销948设置在由楔形件858的相对侧壁952形成的通路950中。销948被设置用来在通路950的构造内可滑动地移动。如本文所述,当椎间植入物840收缩时,楔形件858通过轴向平移被缩回。通路950沿楔形件858选择性地导引各销,以将活塞部件846拉到收缩构造中。可以设想的是,楔形件858可以包括多个销,并且活塞部件846包括用以将活塞部件846拉到收缩构造中的多个通路。还可以设想的是,楔形件858可以包括用以在通路950中可滑动移动的燕尾形构件。
将会理解的是,可以对本文公开的实施例做各种修改。因而,以上所述内容不应解释为限制,而应解释为只是各实施方式的示例。本领域的普通技术人员会在所附权利要求的范围和精神内设想其它修改。
