Description
MarkierungselementMarking element
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Markierungselement zur Erzeugung eines Röntgenkontrastes insbesondere bei einem resorbierbaren Implantat, hergestellt unter Verwendung von Calzium, Phosphor, Sauerstoff und Wasserstoff.The invention relates to a marking element for generating an X-ray contrast, in particular in a resorbable implant, produced using calcium, phosphorus, oxygen and hydrogen.
Einen Röntgenkontrast erzeugende Markierungselemente sind beispielsweise aus der EP 0 146 699 Al bekannt. In dieser europäischen Offenlegungsschrift wird vorgeschlagen, zur Festlegung eines Bezugspunktes im menschlichen Knochengerüst mehrere Implantate in den Knochen einzusetzen, wobei die Implantate jeweils ein Verankerungsteil aus Kunststoff sowie ein daran angeordnetes Markierungselement in Form einer Metallkugel umfassen. Die Metallkugel wird durch das Verankerungsteil ortsfest im Knochen gehalten und weist einen Durchmesser von mindestens 0,2 mm auf. Das derart ausgebildete Markierungselement erzeugt in einem Röntgenbild einen starken Kontrast und ist dadurch auf einfache Weise identifizierbar.Marking elements that produce an X-ray contrast are known, for example, from EP 0 146 699 A1. In this European patent application, it is proposed to insert several implants into the bone in order to establish a reference point in the human bone structure, whereby the implants each comprise an anchoring part made of plastic and a marking element in the form of a metal ball arranged thereon. The metal ball is held in place in the bone by the anchoring part and has a diameter of at least 0.2 mm. The marking element designed in this way produces a strong contrast in an X-ray image and is therefore easy to identify.
Werden mehrere dieser Markierungselemente beispielsweise in zwei benachbarte Knochen des Skeletts eingebracht, so bilden diese in den Röntgenaufnahmen Bezugspunkte, mit deren Hilfe Veränderungen der relativen Orientierung der Knochen festgestellt und quantitativ erfaßt werden können. Die metallischen Markierungselemente verbleiben allerdings dauerhaft im jeweiligen Knochen. Da es sich dabei um körperfremdes Material handelt, kann dies zu einer Schädigung des Knochengewebes führen. Sollen die Markierungselemente entfernt werden, so ist dazu eine weitere Operation erforderlich.If several of these marking elements are inserted into two adjacent bones of the skeleton, for example, they form reference points in the X-ray images that can be used to determine and quantify changes in the relative orientation of the bones. However, the metal marking elements remain permanently in the respective bone. Since this is foreign material, this can lead to damage to the bone tissue. If the marking elements are to be removed, another operation is required.

In der EP 0 412 280 Bl wird ein Markierungselement vorgeschlagen in Form eines röntgenologisch darstellbaren Kontrastmittels, das in einen Aufnahmeraum eines resorbierbaren Befestigungsmittels zur Fixierung von Knochenfragmenten einfüllbar ist. Das Kontrastmittel diffundiert allmählich durch die Wände des Aufnahmeraumes hindurch in das benachbarte Körpergewebe. Da das Material nicht resorbierbar ist, verbleibt es ebenfalls als körperfremdes Material im Gewebe. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des Markierungselements ist zu dessen Entfernung keine weitere Operation erforderlich. Statt dessen findet ein andauernder Diffusionsprozeß statt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß sich das Kontrastmittel zunehmend verteilt und verdünnt. Eine röntgenologische Bestimmung des ursprünglichen Ortes des Kontrastmittels und damit des Aufnahmeraums des Befestigungsmittels wird dadurch im Laufe der Zeit immer schwieriger und ungenauer.EP 0 412 280 Bl proposes a marking element in the form of an X-ray-visible contrast agent that can be filled into a receiving space of a resorbable fastening agent for fixing bone fragments. The contrast agent gradually diffuses through the walls of the receiving space into the adjacent body tissue. Since the material is not resorbable, it also remains in the tissue as a foreign material. With this design of the marking element, no further operation is required to remove it. Instead, a continuous diffusion process takes place. This means that the contrast agent is increasingly distributed and diluted. An X-ray determination of the original location of the contrast agent and thus of the receiving space of the fastening agent therefore becomes increasingly difficult and less precise over time.
Ein in seiner ursprünglichen Position verbleibendes Markierungselement wird in der EP 0 360 139 A2 vorgeschlagen. Diese Offenlegungsschrift beschreibt ein Befestigungsmittel aus resorbierbarem Werkstoff, beispielsweise eine Gewindestange oder eine Schraube, wobei in deren Spitze ein Calziumphosphatgranulatteilchen eingepreßt ist. Dieses bildet ein Markierungselement, das einen Röntgenkontrast erzeugt und dadurch die Spitze des ansonsten auf einer Röntgenaufnahme nicht erkennbaren resorbierbaren Befestigungselements röntgenologisch sichtbar macht. Dies gibt beispielsweise dem Operateur eine Kontrollmöglichkeit an die Hand, um mit Hilfe eines intraoperativ eingesetzten Bildwandlers zu beurteilen, ob das Befestigungsmittel einwandfrei am Knochenfragment positioniert ist. Typischerweise sind die beschriebenen Granulatteilchen porös, da sie dadurch als Knochenersatzstoff im Hartgewebe besser integriert werden.A marking element that remains in its original position is proposed in EP 0 360 139 A2. This publication describes a fastening device made of resorbable material, for example a threaded rod or a screw, with a calcium phosphate granulate particle pressed into the tip. This forms a marking element that creates an X-ray contrast and thus makes the tip of the resorbable fastening element, which would otherwise not be visible on an X-ray, visible on an X-ray. This gives the surgeon, for example, a control option to assess whether the fastening device is correctly positioned on the bone fragment using an intraoperative image converter. The granulate particles described are typically porous, as this allows them to be better integrated into the hard tissue as a bone substitute.

Auch bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung des Markierungselements entfällt eine nachträgliche Operation zu seiner Entfernung, denn das aus Calziumphosphat bestehende Markierungselement wird im Hartgewebe integriert und entweder resorbiert oder über den Metabolismus abgebaut. Es hat sich allerdings gezeigt, daß die bekannten Markierungselemente insbesondere bei intraoperativ eingesetzten Bildwandlern nicht in allen Fällen zweifelsfrei erkannt werden können. Die Bestimmung der bekannten Markierungselemente gestaltet sich zum Teil schwierig und zeitaufwendig, und deren Positionsbestimmung ist oft mit einer gewissen Ungenauigkeit verbunden.Even with such a design of the marking element, a subsequent operation to remove it is not necessary, because the marking element consisting of calcium phosphate is integrated into the hard tissue and is either reabsorbed or broken down via metabolism. However, it has been shown that the known marking elements cannot be identified with certainty in all cases, especially with image converters used intraoperatively. Determining the known marking elements is sometimes difficult and time-consuming, and determining their position is often associated with a certain inaccuracy.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein gattungsgemäßes Markierungselement derart auszugestalten, daß es bei Verwendung von intraoperativ eingesetzten Bildwandlern eindeutiger und schneller erkannt werden kann und eine genauere Positionsbestimmung ermöglicht.The object of the present invention is to design a generic marking element in such a way that it can be recognized more clearly and quickly when using intraoperatively used image converters and enables a more precise position determination.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Markierungselement der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Markierungselement eine kompakte Struktur aufweist mit einer die Röntgendichte des bei der Applikation des Markierungselements diesem benachbarten Knochens übersteigenden Röntgendichte und daß der Durchmesser des Markierungselements in allen Dimensionen mindestens 0,5 mm beträgt.This object is achieved according to the invention in a marking element of the type mentioned at the outset in that the marking element has a compact structure with an X-ray density that exceeds the X-ray density of the bone adjacent to the marking element when it is applied and that the diameter of the marking element is at least 0.5 mm in all dimensions.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Markierungselement so kompakt ausgebildet, so daß seine Röntgendichte größer ist als diejenige des Knochens, der dem Markierungselement bei dessen Applikation benachbart ist. Durch die höhere Röntgendichte wird ein ausreichender Kontrast bei einem röntgenbildgebenden Verfahren erzielt. In Verbindung mit einem Mindestdurchmesser vonAccording to the invention, the marking element is designed to be so compact that its X-ray density is greater than that of the bone adjacent to the marking element when it is applied. The higher X-ray density achieves sufficient contrast in an X-ray imaging procedure. In conjunction with a minimum diameter of

0,5 mm hat eine derart kompakte Struktur eine besonders gute röntgenologische Erkennbarkeit des Markierungselements auch in einem intraoperativ zum Einsatz kommenden Bildwandler zur Folge. Unsicherheiten in der Positionsbestimmung werden dadurch reduziert. Die kompakte Struktur hat außerdem den Vorteil, daß das Markierungselement während der Abbauzeit des resorbierbaren Implantats praktisch nicht zerfällt. Dadurch wird sichergestellt, daß das Markierungselement während des gesamten Heilungsprozesses eindeutig erkennbar ist und seine exakte Position festgestellt werden kann.0.5 mm, such a compact structure results in particularly good radiological recognizability of the marking element, even in an image converter used intraoperatively. This reduces uncertainties in determining the position. The compact structure also has the advantage that the marking element practically does not disintegrate during the degradation time of the resorbable implant. This ensures that the marking element is clearly recognizable throughout the entire healing process and its exact position can be determined.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Durchmesser des Markierungselements in allen Dimensionen mindestens 0,7 mm beträgt. Eine derartige Gestalt ermöglicht selbst unter schwierigen Bedingungen eine besonders einfache und sichere Identifizierung und Lokalisierung des Markierungselements.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the marking element is at least 0.7 mm in all dimensions. Such a design enables particularly simple and reliable identification and localization of the marking element, even under difficult conditions.
Das Markierungselement kann aus Hydroxylapatit bestehen. Dieser Werkstoff hat eine geringe Resorptionsgeschwindigkeit, er wird aber aufgrund der hervorragenden Bioaktivität im Knochen integriert.The marking element can be made of hydroxyapatite. This material has a low resorption rate, but it is integrated into the bone due to its excellent bioactivity.
Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß das Markierungselement aus einem dichtgesinterten Formkörper besteht. So kann beispielsweise ein gesinterter Hydroxylapatitformkörper zum Einsatz kommen, der so verdichtet ist, daß er eine höhere Röntgendichte aufweist als diejenige des bei der Applikation des Markierungselements diesem benachbarten Knochens.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the marking element consists of a densely sintered molded body. For example, a sintered hydroxyapatite molded body can be used which is compacted in such a way that it has a higher X-ray density than that of the bone adjacent to the marking element when it is applied.
Für eine sichere Erkennbarkeit weist das Markierungselement erfindungsgemäß neben einer kompakten Struktur eine derartigeFor reliable recognition, the marking element according to the invention has, in addition to a compact structure, such a

Gestalt auf, daß der Durchmesser in jeder Dimension zumindest 0,5 mm beträgt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß bei jeder möglichen Strahlrichtung der während einer Untersuchung zum Einsatz kommenden Röntgenstrahlung eine Projektion des Markierungselements erzeugt wird, die eine sichere Identifizierung und Lokalisierung ermöglicht.shape so that the diameter is at least 0.5 mm in every dimension. This means that a projection of the marking element is generated in every possible beam direction of the X-rays used during an examination, which enables reliable identification and localization.
Das erfindungsgemäße Markierungselement kann, wie eingangs erwähnt, beispielsweise zur Festlegung eines röntgenologisch erkennbaren Bezugspunktes im Knochengewebe verwendet werden. Es kann auch in bekannter Weise zusammen mit einem resorbierbaren Implantat, beispielsweise einem Befestigungsmittel zur Fixierung von Knochenfragmenten, zum Einsatz kommen. Hierzu wird das zum Beispiel kugelförmig mit einem Durchmesser von 0,7 mm ausgestaltete Markierungselement aus dichtgesintertem Hydroxylapatitgranulat am distalen oder proximalen Ende des resorbierbaren Implantats angeordnet und mit diesem in den Knochen eingesetzt, so daß es sich nach der Applikation entweder am Knochenrand oder im Weichgewebe befindet. Dadux-ch ermöglicht das erfindungsgemäße Markierungselement bei intraoperativer Verwendung eines Bildwandlers eine schnelle und eine eindeutige Beurteilung der Lage des Implantats.The marking element according to the invention can, as mentioned at the beginning, be used, for example, to establish an X-ray-recognizable reference point in the bone tissue. It can also be used in a known manner together with a resorbable implant, for example a fastening means for fixing bone fragments. For this purpose, the marking element made of densely sintered hydroxyapatite granules, which is designed, for example, spherical with a diameter of 0.7 mm, is arranged at the distal or proximal end of the resorbable implant and inserted into the bone with it, so that after application it is either at the edge of the bone or in the soft tissue. Dadux-ch the marking element according to the invention enables a quick and clear assessment of the position of the implant when an image converter is used intraoperatively.
